Mountain get away
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and I found the hotel clean. The pool was being updated and was not open which I was not aware of. Breakfast was eggs, sausage patties, biscuits for the hot stuff and the usual bread, cereal and pastries with no complaints about that. Room was a little small but overall a good stay

Carpet heavily worn with large wrinkles in it, uncomfortable bed that sloped toward head of bed, thermostat display unreadable so no ability to control room temperature, no elevator to upper floors so had to stay on main level, window curtain torn and dirty. Will not return to this property.

Dirty, dated rooms. We saw a roach within minutes of entering our room. WiFi worked intermittently and required connecting in the lobby before returning to our room (as suggested by the staff). Rooms were very cluttered with extra furniture leaving very little space. The staff were very helpful, kind and responsive . Breakfast was nice. Adequate options, even a few offerings for gluten or dairy sensitive persons.

Old property that needs full renovation or tear down. Breakfast was terrible. Cheapest utensils they could buy. The staff is very very friendly and best part of this hotel. Flowers outside are nice. Otherwise, too expensive for such an old facility.

This motel is fine I guess. This was the only one that had availability. Nothing really particularly wrong except that this should be about $80 per night, but because of what is essentially surge pricing, I had to pay $225 for the night. Absolutely not worth the price!
