I'm probably not the person to review this motel because we only used it as a place to sleep. It is a motel with all rooms opening to the outdoors. I would describe the lobby as cozy without a fireplace. The staff was great checking in and out. Our room was clean and offered everything we needed however it's not fancy, flashy, or modern. Our room was on the first floor right next to the parking lot which can be noisy from traffic, parking, and people above. If you stay, I would ask for a room deeper in the complex away from the roads. You also should bring your own pillow.

Clean and comfortable stay with exceptional/friendly staff and is conveniently located for families who want to explore the mountains or just hang around town. We were only really in the room to sleep but it was more than enough room for our family of 4 for a few days.

Thw staff was great and the property was well kept. It was a little noisy with the car show in town, but our main concern was the room above ours was smoking weed on the balcony/in the room. They were also throwing cigarette butts down to the lower level. With the great prices comes the not so great clientele.
