Good value for the money. Large room with 2 Queen beds plus a lounging area for sitting to watch TV. Would have given it a 5 star rating if it would have had a refrigerator. We had to go to the restaurant to ask for ice to fill our bucket for cold drinks. Gorgeous views from anywhere in the motel.

Simple Roadside Comfort
This is a simple roadside motel. the decorations made the room feel a bit like something out of the 1950s, but it’s clean and comfortable The bed was comfortable and the shower though old had good water pressure. The air conditioner is a little noisy, and I do wish they had more outlets for device charging The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The view of the mountains was nice

It’s the best motel for me. Outdoor space is massive, easy to park, huge lawn and many picnic tables. Inside is also large, even with a desk area, and two comfortable beds far from each other. The location is of course good since it’s inside a national park. Another bonus is the rooms are far away from main road so there is no noise or dust.
