Location was great for our needs and the price was right. Frenchy, front desk person when we arrived, was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. He immediately found extra towels and a hair dryer for us. For an older facility it was nice, the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and cozy, most everything worked. Quite happy and would recommend others to stay there.

Nothing is ever perfect.

The gentleman at the desk was very friendly and helpful for suggestions on local restaurants. He is also a Veteran. This place is where yesterday meets today. Brought back some memories of childhood vacations.

Not really able to say we didn't like, because the room was warm, and comfy. It's like a step back in time. You actually get a key 🔑🔑to open the door. But they do have wifi, microwave, fridge, and a nice size tv. But no coffee maker but plenty of other places to get coffee.

We arrived late at night. Staff was quick about getting us checked in so we could get to bed. This is a no frills, mom and pops style motel. The beds were clean and comfortable. The room over all was very clean. The room was quiet as well. We were on the 2nd floor.

The room was out dated. It didn't bother us, but it might some. The price seemed high for this reason. Towels could be better, and the shower head didnt seem firmly attached to the wall.

I liked the fact that everything was very clean. We didn't have to clean anything ourselves. The staff was very friendly. Plus the location was close to all the major highways. Also the rocking chairs outside of each room was a nice touch for a mountain town.

The parking was a little tight. The outside could use a fresh coat of paint and sound proof windows wouldn't have hurt.

The location was perfect. We were in town to take delivery of our log cabin so we came back to the motel every night. There are tons of great restaurants in walking distance which we took advantage of.
