2 king beds were giant, but all furniture could use an upgrade. Just felt old and could use updating.
Grateful it has pay washer & dryer.

Nice place for a one-night stay. This is a small older motel that can offer affordable rates because it doesn't have high overhead costs. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed a restful and quiet night of sleep before a long day exploring the National Park.

Great stay for a music festival. No issues. Housekeeping attendant was friendly as was the front desk clerk. Room could use some updating but it’s not bad.

Good location. Restaurants nearby. Clean. Quiet. Convenient.
Check-in is through a tiny window, which is a little weird.
Overall, very happy with the stay.

Very simple, no-frills place to stay. The rooms are in dire need of an upgrade. They are really big and clean enough. I think even just replacing the carpet and maybe a new color on the walls would go a long way in making this place feel fresher. I stayed here back in 2017 and the rooms are exactly as I remember them. It's conveniently right on the highway, but not loud.
