Not worth the money
Wasn’t worth the money. There is so pool, spa, or even a store to buy night snacks. Next time I will stay in a cabin.

Recommend this motel and view
We were very pleased with this motel. We didn't contact the owners until late in the day. They responded back promptly with arrangements for the room and key. The room was clean and ready for us with towels and a message to contact them if we needed anything. Very hospitable. Location was good, right off the road. This is an 'old-style' motel that the owners have modernized. They were currently upgrading some other units which was a positive thing to see. bonus was that we had an absolutely gorgeous view of the mountains in the evening out our back door. Recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property is undergoing renovations, on a room-by-room basis, but hadn’t reached the room we were assigned. I wondered why all the other cars were parked on the other side of the facility. Supposedly we were paying for one of the upscale rooms with two queen beds. It was clean but a bit cramped. One of the mattresses made squeaking noises and the HVAC was loud and finding a comfortable setting was a bit of a challenge. Beautiful view of the mountains from the rear of the property.

I found the stay to be quite peaceful. Standing on the top of the mountain early in the morning, taking in the air & view was unparalleled to any place I’ve stayed before. Going down the mountains to the river and seeing how crystal clear it was & listening to the flowing water. The small town restaurants down the road had great food. Will definitely recommend and return to this stay

This is just a very old motel that is also very secluded. Did not feel safe there at all. Extremely disappointing. The room rate of $200 was ridiculous for this place. We left without staying.
