Hubby and I just stayed for a second time. It’s simple and clean and staff are friendly. Definitely close to traffic, but that didn’t bother us.

A very cute place today. Renovated with a modern flair, this property was very clean, safe and easy to find. Good value for your money.

Cute place. Nice update and remodel without destroying all the great things about this type of classic motel, beginning with no stairs to climb. Just unload your car. The room was clean but an alcohol wipe on the TV remote might have gotten a tiny bit of grime off. Blackout shades would be a useful update. Like all places, it needs an over-the-air TV antenna so guests can watch local TV (not sure how well that works in mountain towns, though). I’m no fan of Hulu.

Beautifully restored retro motel. Clean. Comfortable. Our room was out near the highway so maybe a bit noisy but not bad.
Grab and go breakfast wasn’t much.
Overall great value. Fun place. Will stay there again.
