    This motel is in a very quiet area, and has a nice cozy cottage vibe to it with updated rooms. The front desk staff were very courteous. We felt very comfortable staying there. I highly recommend staying there and enjoying the surrounding businesses’ and environment.

    The room was in good condition. The problem is the front desk person - she doesn't know what she is doing. It took us almost an hour before we can get both rooms we booked and paid for. We had to call Expedia to help explain to her the situation. She doesn't even know where the rooms are located. She instructed us to go the back of the building same floor, when our room is on the 2nd flr at the front of the building. After we found it, I went back to tell her that she should know the layout of their motel. Her reply is I dont work here! She said she is just covering for a friend who stepped out. But guess what, she is the only one there all weekend. When I asked for the manager, she just went to the back office and came back talking on the phone! No manager on site - and they left someone who doesnt know what she's doing to handle the motel all weekend.

    Newly renovated. Bed not comfortable. Staff extremely unfriendly and unprofessional. The Indian front desk girl is unwelcoming, unfriendly and even hostile. 100% NOT willing to help when we asked nicely to switch to a quieter room. She insisted all room occupied which is a lie because I see at least 5 rooms empty. They might be booked but they are all empty.

    The rooms are remodeled but filthy!!! There were hairs in the sink, urine under the seats, rings around the toilet, dust collected on toilet, gross shower, very clear that the housekeeping doesn’t regularly clean the bathrooms. Even after complaining and the housekeeping returned to clean, the dust on the toilet was left as is! Would highly discourage individuals from staying here!

    At first look , it seemed very clean but then we found a clump of hair on the shower floor . There were used contact lenses left by the window. There was a folded towel by the sink with lipstick stains on it. When it was time for bed , we noticed the sheets had what seemed to be burn holes on them . The place overall was quiet but housekeeping was not the best.

    One of the pillows on our bed had major stains, very visible through the white pillowcase. So gross! Walls are very thin, heard guests talking and being intimate with each other. The heater/AC unit is super loud, kept waking me up at night. It’s not a bad place to stay for a night, but they need to do a better job with their bedding cleanliness- the rest of the room was clean. Room looks updated too.

    From the outside, this place looks like many of the other little hotels in the area where when you walk into your room, and it’s mountain kitch, with bears and dark wood, and deer heads , etct. But this place is different, the rooms are beautiful. It’s obvious they’ve been recently renovated. They’re large and fresh and open. Huge TV great sound. Fridge freezer microwave. That was a pretty kick ass room.
