This property was disgusting. The place smells of open sewar. They have broken pipes. We moved rooms several times but ended up leaving due to the health risks. Thank-you Expedia for getting us our money back. Horrible place. Worst experience ever!

Pleasant host, and staff. Very accommodating. Despite it being an older motel, the room was comfortable, up dated, and well laid out. Extra little touches make it cozy. A/C, parking out front.

We chose this hotel due to its proximity to multiple gold panning reserves, and were glad we did. I found the Skimmerhorn to be your classic roadside Inn. We were surprised at the available amenities, like a bbq pit, horse shoe pit as well as a playground; we didn't utilize them but were glad to have the option. Check in was quick and friendly. The room (1 bedroom, 2nd level) was clean and stocked with what one person might need for a night or two. While not as comfy as our own, the bed was suitable for a good night's rest. Overall, would stay again, and definitely hope to.

Rooms are updsted in furniture but not things like bathroom etc. Property has so much room and potential so I hope they are planning to do some upgrading on the landscaping and pool. Beds were very comfortable so that was great. Will stay again!
