The desk clerk was friendly. But she failed to tell me that they didn't serve breakfast, even though it says so on the website. Parking was good. The room was clean, but when I got out of the shower, every towel on the shelf was stained. For the price, I expected alot better!!

This place was OK for a small town motel. We stayed in two different rooms on two different weekends and both seem to be clean enough although the refrigerator in one of them was excessively loud. A fair amount of highway noise from big trucks slowing down for the stoplight near the motel. The only ice machine did not work. The staff was very helpful though, when they could be. Not too many places to eat close but you can find a lot more 15 minute drive away. Overall if you just need a room to sleep in for a night it’s not real bad but I wouldn’t recommend it to stay in for a week or something like that.

We booked online and when we arrived, they didn’t have our reservation. No worries, though we were checked in and had a room. The room was nice, however, the AC unit must have had issues. It didn’t seem to cool the room and when it started up, it sounded like a cement truck. Not something you complain about at 3 in the morning. Overall, a nice place to stay the night.

Location is good if you want to do nature stuff like hiking, being in the woods. Room was ok. Not dirty but just older looking. Staffing at the office was on and off. Had a breakfast available first morning but not second morning as someone was sick and didn't come in. Staff extremely friendly and tried to be helpful.

The staff was great. The parking lot was convenient but could use a little clean up. The room was nice. The towels were clean but stained. It was close to the national park ,gas and food. Overall, it was a good experience. The best thing to me was the shower was excellent ( good pressure, temperature and clean).

Cons: There is no continental breakfast, as advertised. The property is in desperate need of updating. The hot tub has been drained. Pros: The service staff were very kind. If you’re looking for a cheap place to lay your head, it gets the job done.

Very nice hotel out in a pretty rural area. Nice pool. I was in a newly upgraded room which was nice. My only suggestion for improvement is the toilet is very, very low, for older people that’s difficult and no handrails or pull bars. Other wise great.
