This is a fine value motel, but it shows it's age, and they could really upgrade to two ply tissue and toilet paper. Honestly how much more could that possible cost. It was available and served our overnight need fine.

Almost everything was amazing. Our only issue was the showers, they took forever to get warm and never got hot.

Didn't stay there.

I rented this hotel room for a lady who I picked as a hitchhiker. She had no money and I didn't want have her stay in my RV so I really can't say much about the room. It's an older hotel so clean but dated. The guy at the desk was a stand up guy and went above and beyond to help her.

Great service. Bed was a little old but after a long hike it was nice to have a place to sleep indoors. Didn't get a chance to check out the pool but it looked nice. Good food nearby.

Not great

Air conditioner didn't work properly and the room was hot and noisy all night. No soap or shampoo available and when asked for some at the front desk, was told to go to the supermarket to buy myself some.
