10/10 Excellent
"Our room was very clean and well-maintained. Our housekeeper was very accommodating, especially if you left a nice tip for their services. Parking was right in front of our room. Understand that this is an old motel that has been renovated on the inside. D&R is two motels made into one. Dude is across the street from Round-Up. Just an FYI, because at first I didn’t know what was going on, why were we driving across the street, etc… The older lady at the front desk (I didnt get her name-sorry) let us in on the best places to eat and gave us info on what sites to see in town, etc. We had a great stay. The motel provided everything that we needed, just a place to rest after visiting the NPs."

"Beautiful setting. We loved the lounge and the live music each evening. But the friends we were traveling with had a maintenance issue and the front desk staff were rude to them when they tried to get it resolved. Though we were there 3 nights the only dinner reservation we could get was at 9:45 pm."
