Not comfortable

Everything was fine except the mattress, the mattress are old , very old the springs are cleared worn-out its almost like your on a water bed its not comfortable at all. The refrigerator in our room makes a lot of noise literally woke us up every time the compressor turn on and off. Whomever designed the rooms and the smoke alarm location was very uneducated inexperienced careless not knowing anything about hotels and comfort, the smoke alarm with a bright lights is directly on top of the bed shinning in your eye all night long. The water pressure in the shower head is extremely low, if the owner thinks they are saving money or water by that they are wrong, it takes 10 times longer to take a shower waisting 10 times more water. Room 233.

Good value, very clean, centrally located motel complex. Have stayed there on two recent ski trips. Only concern was temperature of water in showers. First stay, rather lukewarm; second stay, water temperature was more than adequate.

Nice place with room for improvement

This is a clean and well run motel, and the location is great — very convenient to Heavenly. Free parking is a plus. I would be happy to stay there again, but the rooms and bathrooms could use some updating.
