Stayed Jul 4, 2025I do not recommend this motel, for the following reasons: the room was not cleaned during the three nights I stayed there. Also, the room wasn't particularly clean when I checked-in (for example: there was an empty soda can underneath the bed).

Stayed Feb 8, 2024Maybe we were not the type of people this motel was meant to serve. We just wanted a nice, comfortable, clean place to sleep. This place was not that for us. It seemed to me to be a place where a bunch of young people rent a room together, ski all day, then just crash. The building was in desperate need of repair and upgrade. It had NO HOT WATER, so we could not shower. And it had ants. It’s a one and done for this place for us!

Stayed Sep 12, 2025It was as advertised. The only complaint I would have is that the room smelled like dirty feet.

Stayed Dec 26, 2022This property needs someone in sight at all times to greet guests and manage . The room we were in had a leaking toilet which also was not firmly attached. The room next to us had a sink that made a ton of noise every time they turned it on. Under the beds needed to be vacuumed, dusting and cob webs removed. It also needs new linens. The box spring cover and bed spread were stained. The mattress had no zip up cover on it to protect it. The property manager was very kind and in contact with us. She did meet us to give us our key. I will say she is trying her hardest to keep things up.
