We liked how accessible it is to the town. Also we like how there's a river at the back of the hotel.

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.

What a beautiful property right on the Portneuf River! King size bed was super comfy. Everything was very clean. Checkin was easy. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the local town and eateries. Biggest surprise, and most wonderful, was the white noise machine! What a great option. There is traffic noise but it slowed down later at night and with the machine i didn't really notice it! Thinking about returning with our camper because it was a great stay.
