The room was furnished with tag sale furnishings and a “clothes hanging structure “ bolted to the wall with a lamp in the way. Being quite isolated the lack of a coffee machine was mystifying. The cost was commensurate with the quality of the room.

Good value- some rooms better than others

Check in was easy- received a door code via text. We got a room for the weekend to ski. Options to bring a dog are limited so we took a gamble here vs the main hotel Red Lion for half the price. We stayed in a two bed room double. It was.. ok. The room was cute and kitschy. There was a mini fridge and a mini vintage appearing microwave. The beds were actually comfortable and bedding was overall pretty clean. (Unfortunately, when the sheet pulled up it showed evidence of stains on the mattress cover but we didn’t notice it until we were checking out :-( ) There was still crumbs on the floor and bits of other dogs food there. The bathroom was small— shower was updated but the floor wasn’t. Floor was not clean and had not been vacuumed. Overall, it was a good value for the price! It was very functional and met our needs for a ski weekend where we just needed somewhere to sleep.We had other friends that stayed in King beds and they were more updated and cleaner. All the rooms had different layouts. Some had a small dining area and others with two chairs and a coffee table. Some bathrooms were really big! There appeared to be a common area but it was not open. I’d definitely book again but get a King. Maybe the full sized rooms will get an update soon!

Cute place. Old motel with some newer kitchy decor. Comfortable bed. Clean enough. Moldy smell and paper thin walls.

Based on the reviews I was looking forward to staying here but when I walked into my room it smelled like dirty poorly cleaned carpet. The shower curtain also smelled really bad and I had to push it out which resulted in water on the floor. The smell of the room was so bad I had to sleep with the window open and I made reservations to sleep at a different hotel for my second night.

It was so convenient to check in. They send a code for the door, so it was super helpful when I am checking in later in the evening. Parking right outside my door. The room was super cute and nicely warm on a very cold day. The one issue I had was the walls are very thin so I could hear every conversation in the room next door, and was woken up by screaming children.
