Disliked: Cleanliness
The property owner is clearly trying but attention to detail was poor. Toilet seat was broken, dirty, mismatched and missing cups/utensils. Patio was covered in debris. Beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. Fire pit was nice at the end of the night.

It was your average hotel room. The water in the bathroom sink barely trickles out. Didn’t try the shower. It's in a nice location on the Portneuf River. Beach access is nice.

This is a perfectly nice roadside motel. The owners have clearly tried to keep things up to date. Not fancy, but clean. Comfy bed. Did not try the shower. Not located in town, but that made it less frenetic. Nice little stream in back. The A/c drowned out the road noise and (almost) the train noise. Unfortunately I could not find an ice machine in the morning, and there was no one around to ask.

Spent a night during a long drive to SLC. Room was decent and as expected from the property description. But what wasn't expected was the beautiful campground that's on the same property. It's peaceful and sits next to a river. I would stay at the campground next time.
