Disgusting, needs renovation
This was my worse motel experience ever! I would not recommend or ever stay here again! The room was disgusting, no a/c only a fan that was broken did not oscillate. This property is in dire need of renovation.

Awful Don’t go there. You will be ripped off I disputed a 5 days charge after being kicked out on the 2nd day and charged the full amount of 5 days plus over charges. I took pictures of the condition of the room and provided proof of 2 other bookings for the remaining of my vacation. Dispute is still processing. I received 2 harassing phone calls from the manager after they were contacted by the credit card company

A little old and worn, but perfectly fine for a solo hiker to use a base camp for exploring the great trails in the area.

Somewhat disappointed
Bathtub not convenient for older guests, high sides and deep, made hard to get in and out. Bathtub had not been cleaned well, dried scum on sides. Smoker/vaper had probably been in room because the smoke/CO detector had been covered. Specific parking space for room limited length. Otherwise, the room was okay
