More than a place to crash for the night.

We chose this place due to its economic price. Since we only needed it to crash for the night as we travel north, we didn't need something fancy. We weren't expecting much. Very friendly folks, accommodating to us checking-in late in the night. Gave us a code over the phone to the keyless entry lock. Please call ahead if you are arriving late to check-in. The office does close at a certain time. Have in mind that the office is these peoples home so don't go barging inside like I did and find them in their pajamas (Sorry). Also, there's no business center, which I did need, but nothing I couldn't do without. It took us a couple of turns to realize where the path up to the house was. Perhaps some road reflectors at the edge of the entrance would've helped. However, when we entered the room it was spotless. It felt good to walk in. I felt comfortable to walk barefoot (though I didn't). I wasn't planning to take a shower but I did because it was so clean and smelled clean. Very humble place but well maintained and cleaned. The beds were comfortable and clean, so were the towels. It had the usual amenities: TV, wi-fi, table, chair, coffee pot, microwave and mini fridge which we didn't use. It even had a hair dryer and complementary toothpaste, but I do suggest you bring your own toiletries. I wish they had an extra mirror though. Maybe a rectangle one outside the bathroom. Though the view outside was picturesque, I wouldn't say gorgeous. I def recommend this place.
Office and owner's garage.

Great renovated motel with beautiful views

Beautiful view from this renovated motel. Great location, close to restaurants and main attractions. However, I would suggest the motel owner to add an holder for the towels, especially the hand towel, to add some pictures on the wall to make the room more cozy, and to add a corner warm lightening by the microwave and fridge.

Disliked: Amenities
I honestly have nothing positive to say because the guy running the place was very disrespectful and rude. He kicked my husband and I out because I have a service dog and he apparently doesn’t like dogs. He even called the police on me. My dog is my medical alert dog and my hearing assistant due to a genetic condition that I was born with. We were there to spend our anniversary and my birthday but that’s ok because we found a much nicer place to stay and the staff were much more accommodating and respectful.

Excellent value for the price, and it lives up to its name (Gorgeous View). Very thin partition walls mean guests can hear their neighbors and vice versa.
