10/10 Excellent
"Good thing about this place is that even being older property, it is super clean and things are in working order as expected. Beds are super comfortable and the pillows are the best. I hate pillows in the big chain hotels such as Marriott and Hilton. But this place rocks. Dillard is a great location to be in the mountains. Nothing fancy about this motel but it works for me every-time and the price is always affordable. Do not expect much from the breakfast though, coffee can be weak at times also. Even then it is highly recommended."
