I thought the hotel was great and so was the staff. The breakfast was the only thing that was very lame. The property outside could use a fresh paint job but the room was fine, everything was clean. I would stay again.

Hi Laird and thanks for the great rating and review. Just so you know we start replacing wood and then painting next week. I'm sorry you did not like our continental breakfast. We are the only motor lodge to retain ours since 2020 and most guests appreciate something little to get the day started.

Very close to the Heavenly Gondola. Enjoyed to breakfast with bagels, oatmeal, orange and juice. Room was in good condition and clean.
