Unexpectedly needed to stop for the night in Blue River and had a wonderful stay! The lady at the front desk was an absolute delight, a ray of sunshine and so helpful. They accomodated my cat and we had a lovely stay! If I ever am in Blue River again, I will stay here again.

Great for what it is. Older Hotel/Motel for a good price. Hot water, shower is good, bed was comfortable, TV Channels are limited but if I wanted to watch Netflix, etc I can use my laptop. Would be nice if the Restaurant was actually open. Very limited to food choices while in Blue River. Better pack the food you need.
