The metal below the door to our cabin (9) is a danger as it is split and sticks out. Cut my leg on it.

Very basic accommodations, you bathroom, dated fixtures, but what do you expect from National Park lodging? We were pleasantly surprised. Very clean, quiet, good AC, good mattress, everything we needed for one night. We would definitely stay again.

Cool motel and great location!

We were there for a 2 night family trip. The motel was really conveniently located right near the Visitor Center. I imagine it has not changed much in the past 50 years, aside from upkeep. It has a really cool retro vibe and the rooms are spacious. There are hiking trails all around the property and beautiful views. We loved it and would absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed the convenience to the National Park. Dining options at the Lodge were limited with very little available for breakfast. The main dining room offered a nice selection and the staff was very friendly and attentive. There were hiking trails close by but signage was very limited and in poor condition.
