This is very very basic side-of-the-road motel, not quite as nice as the reviews made it sound. Pro: They accommodated a very late check-in for us when we arrived town. The bed was very comfortable. Towels were nice. Parking was easy and free. Con: The room was clean-ish but some dirty areas (lamps were dusty, sink was slow to drain, etc). The room was very tiny and very basic. We were not given enough towels or pillows so had to request more, which they did bring but seemed surprised we'd ask. It was a good location for our hiking trip but we would not stay again, we'd pay a bit more for something else nearby.

Didn’t need parking or laundry. Staff was perfunctory; no lights on in the office at 5:30 PM. Walkways were dark, making it hard to see room numbers. Website says breakfast included, but there was only coffee and a dark room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a reservation for two nights, I left a day early. When I showed up to check in the door to the office was open but all the lights were off and there was no one there. I waited for a half hour in my car and tried again. Still nothing. Eventually a girl came out of a door near the office and asked if I was checking in and got who I assumed was her father. He checked me in with the indifference of a 7-11 clerk. He didn’t tell me where my room was, where to park, or any other info. The room was very basic and not very clean. There were random long black hairs in the bathroom and on the towels. The blinds were broken. The fan on the air conditioner was very loud. There was no remote for the TV. There was no privacy sign to hang on the door. I had plans to go hike that day and come back but instead I just went home. Not worth bothering with another night.

The bathroom door latch was broken and the door kept swinging open while using. A truck was blocking the entramce to the parking lot one day and we had to backout into busy traffic to bypass the blocked driveway. The truck was there blocking entry for more than an hour. The beds were clean and comfortable.
