They did a great job renovating this traditional roadside motel. Loved the jacuzzi in the room! It’s right on the road and near rr tracks, so expect to hear that in the night. Very helpful front person and the owners are very nice. The outside door to the room leaks, so I needed to crank up the heat for comfort. If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay near a fantastic mountain to ski, I would recommend the Outdoors Inn.

The owners did such a great job renovating this motel! I really appreciated all the small touches - there were plenty of outlets available for charging devices, they provided ear plugs if you were bothered by the road noise (I was not - I did not find it that loud at all), and I loved that they had large bottles of soaps in the bathroom to be more eco-friendly. For a one night stay, I have nothing to complain about and would recommend this place to anyone!

Although lots of highway and train noise they provided earplugs and noise canceling machines. We found leaving the bathroom fan on was effective.

Really clean and well renovated property! Great amenities and again, SUPER clean!! The location is not near restaurants, but is near a gas station for basics. The train and highway nearby was the only negative. But I would definitely stay here again!!
