Great location. AC/Heat unit not working and it was warm in the room. Unit appeared out of order for a long time. Ceiling fan super noisy. Could only use it but at low speed and did not offer relief. Bathroom seemed clean but carpet did not. Had no breakfast included contrary to advertised. I cannot recommend this place.

Horrible property! Extremely dirty and very rude staff. My parents stayed in the ADA suite and their shower knob was broken. The staff made zero efforts to fix it. We had to call them twice the next day to come fix it.

When my camping plans went bust needed a room for a couple nights. This motel was available and priced right. The room was quite decent. The outside stairs show the effect of skiing boots tromping up and down over the years but that doesn't bother me. Only one of four USB plugs seemed to work. No one at the office when I checked out in the morning and the key drop slot was too small for the cards they gave me. But these are quibbles. All in all highly recommended.
