Would recommend

It was a very comfy room, although small, but it served our needs. It was a little inconvenient having to check in and out at the High Country and not the Apex though. It was nice having a pizza restaurant right across the street, and it was very good pizza. And apparently we were the only ones here.

Small room in older motor court but very quiet and clean. Owner is always present with a crew, cleaning up. Beware this is bear country and don't leave food outside or you will have big furry visitors at night.

Nice location

Park in front of the room. Security lock on the door. Coffee machine, Microwave, and refrigerator are in good condition. LED light on the mirror with touch button. Hot water takes a bit longer to come. Perhaps it was a bit difficult to adjust for the right temperature with the tilting stick for temperature. Comfortable.

Property managers were amazing and accommodating when road delays required a late check-in. Property is basic, very clean with adequate amenities. I was unable to get the TV in my room to receive the stations or station guide. Not a big deal as it was very late when I checked in. Could have used an extra blanket in the room instead of raising the heat setting. Beds are firm.

dated entertainment and furniture. Bed was rock hard, limited TV channels and an exceptionally small room. Just big enough to fit for two queen sized beds that were wall to wall with no access to clothes hanger without jumping over bed. Could use a new coat of ceiling and door pain and fix broken bathroom window. Definitely just a place to lay your head for just one night, if tou don’t mind a comfortable bed ans a tight room.
