The beds were comfy and the rooms were relatively clean. There were areas I could tell haven’t been cleaned in a long time. (Vents, base of floor, etc..) but the rest of the room was good. The windows leaked, probably need to be resealed. No weird smells or anything. Beds were clean. Staff was friendly enough. The elevator ran all night & was very loud. So if noise bothers you, you may want to request a room away from the elevator.

The photos are more than what is really shown. It makes it seem like it’s a up to date motel, but it’s not. The photos are deceiving. They look like the photo but less. Would not book again based on photos

Everything was wonderful the only thing I don’t like is that they don’t let me keep my car there for the rest of the day after my check out! I have to pay another $20 for a couple of hours.

The room could have been cleaner, stains on wall in the bathroom, on the sheets and comforter. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the balcony, from which we saw bears every day. The staff was very friendly. WiFi was excellent.
