Good value, spend your time outdoors!
Remember, this is a "value significant" motel. There's parking at your door, lights, hot water, flush toilet, heat, fridge/freezer, shower, clean towels, and comfy beds n pilows .... an old frame structure with paper thin walls. It's a beautiful area year round.

Amazingly clean, very basic
For a very basic motel I almost never find one as clean as this was. Seriously, cleaner than many modern suite hotel my company puts me on business trips.

2/10 Poor
August 12, 2024
The spa/ hot tub barely worked at all and was warm at best. Attempting to turn on one of the jets just caused a bunch of dirt to come out. There were spots on the pillows and sugar around the coffee maker and on top of the microwave. Beds were wobbly and the TV was super tiny. There were no pool towels and the slide lock on the door wouldn't have even been able to stop my child from breaking in.

It was dirty, unsafe and there were homeless people sleeping under the stairs. The room was very dirty, the bedding looked like it had not been cleaned. Tgere was blood and stains on the sheets. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We liked the fact that it had a couch and a recliner in the room. Unfortunately, the recliner was electric but didnt work. The power cord had been removed.

Bare bones
This is a bare bones room with a tiny sink/vanity area. The air conditioner did work, so that was nice. The fridge was larger than most which was also nice. We were there to sleep before a big race and we were able to do that. It was one of the less expensive rooms for the date we needed, but the whole area was way overpriced. Last year we paid less than half for rooms better than this.
