Good for a night.
This motel is an older motel that has had some updates. It was clean, but there was some mold stains around the tub area, and the bathroom floor needs replaced. But let me stress, for the price it was ok for one night. It is conveniently located close to town.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was very relaxing having a patio with a view of the river out back. We started most mornings sitting out there to enjoy the sounds. We liked that it was equal parts quiet and walkable to downtown. Would definitely stay again!
