The view was spectacular and I was fortunate enough to hear (not seeing) a fireworks event that echoed through the mountains!

I did not like it at all. Checked out at 8am and did not stay the second night. Nothing was accessible and the property did not have wifi. The entire listing is a misrepresentation.

I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. Upon arrival, we found the room to be dirty, unsanitary, and reeking of urine. It was in no condition to stay in — we immediately left and had to find alternative accommodations at our own expense.
When we contacted management to request a refund, they refused to take responsibility for the condition of the room and denied the request, despite the fact that we couldn’t even stay there due to how unclean it was.
This was an incredibly disappointing experience, and the lack of accountability from the hotel made it even worse. Save yourself the stress and stay somewhere else.

We payed for the room on the app. However after checking into the room we left. Went down the street and purchased another room. I have stayed in horrible places before but this beats anything i have ever seen.

The room was cheap and clean. But very damp. The motel is next to a liquor store, and not much else.

Pictures on their website or yours via your link to whatever are either very old or somewhere else. They show a nice breakfast hall and really nice rooms. Nothing in the photos exist. I stayed somewhere else and just forfeited the money.

Not like the pictures
The pics were misleading. It looked like it would be a lot more updated.
The room wasn't very clean. There were mouse droppings on the floor. Only a very thin blanket was provided. The room was freezing even with the heat cranked up to high. Honestly overpriced. My partner and I would have gone elsewhere, but no place else was available

You get what you pay for. The check-in was fine, the room had a terrible odor. The heater/air conditioner was very noisy and missing vent pieces. Overall it was a very cheap place to stay, I didn’t have any big issues.
