This old fashioned motel has 2 buildings. The main building, and another building on the other side of the highway. We arrived after their main office closed at 9pm. Their staff did not bother to tell us that our room was not on the same site as their main building. Had we not gone to the gas station next door to the 2nd building, and seen a sign saying "office across the street", we never would have found our room. To make matters worse, they don't answer their phone after 9pm, and you can't leave a message. They also leave your key on a lock box on your door. We discovered that all of the lock boxes have the same code.

This is a property from another era. The size and HVAC were not current standards but still great for what I wanted. It is a relatively safe location and I didn't notice the highway noise just outside. My only potential issue was the door locks/security framing were quite antiquated and I felt compelled to take my valuables with me. I stayed three days without any issues however.

First off, the property was clean and in good repair. I got a clean bed and shower for the night. Don't expect anything fancy. While we were there, I'd say it was mostly aimed at CDT hikers and construction workers. Perfectly safe, but no frills.

This hotel surprised me. The exterior is very dated but the family room was spacious, it had a full kitchen and a private outdoor space. I would stay again.

Black mold on window in shower. Also the drain in the shower looked like the gateway to staph infection or gangrene type of tell my boys to keep their feet out of it not sanitary. Bed bugs squished on the wall didn't see any live ones.

You get what you pay for - there is a reason why it is low cost. Paper-thin walls so you could participate in the conversation in the next room. Friendly guy on front desk and comfortable bed. The adjoining restaurant closed at 6.30 pm on a Tuesday night but did a good takeaway.

Just sleep

Start with positives. Front desk was nice and bedroom section was clean and was quiet. Now the negatives…mold growing above the shower on walls. No door or curtain on shower walk-in which allows water to spray all over the floor. Bathroom is so small you must stand in shower to close the door. I know the place is old but have never had to do that before. If your looking for a quick sleep it will do but wouldn’t stay here again.
