I needed 1 night in a comfortable, clean, convenient place on my way through the area, and this cute motel/hotel fit the bill. The design & decor were thoughtful & lighthearted with a western theme -- nice touch! The property is compact, but my room was ample. Arriving & parking earlier ensures the closest spots to your room, but none are too far; 3 spots required parallel parking. The discounted $5 breakfast at Lumberjack's was great.
