The location of this motel is hard to beat, if you are here in winter, the Gonodla is right around the corner and easily walkable even in ski boots and carrying skis. I can recommend staying here, have been coming for years. It's clean, staff is super friendly, and rooms are good sized.

Overall good place for the money and proximity to gondola. However, the beds are pathetic, extremely old - felt like a 30 year old spring mattress, and one side had a huge divet.
