Amazing view of the river! One of the better value options in the area with a wonderfully helpful staff and vibe. It is a great budget motel and would recommend staying!

When we arrived, we loved the old school feeling of this hotel. We cannot remember the last time we had a for real room key. The stairway was at a bit of an angle, but easily traversed. We loved our room when we entered it. Note-it was daytime. After we had been out, returning at night-well, it had a different affect. After walking the stairway, it was disconcerting to see others directly outside the rooms smoking tobacco and ???. We had to walk past them, trying not to inhale, in order to get to our room. It had rained hard that day. I was cold and eager for a hot bath. Oh my goodness! The ceiling was leaking in two places! We could not use the toilet without a drip, drip from above. Upon leaving, we took our key to the front office, informing the person at the front of the desk. He said, “I knew one of them leaked. I did not know about that one.” No expression of concern for our discomfort. For sure - no offer of any type of compensation. The daytime charm did not offset the evening environment, the leaky ceiling, nor the indifference expressed.

This was a wonderful place to stay if you enjoy nature and just want a basic room. My husband and I hiked and enjoyed the mountains. It was wonderful to have a 2nd floor room overlooking the river. There were numerous people fly fishing and we could see the trout from the rocking chairs outside our door. Even a golden trout! The motel is located in the middle of a park that is well lit for nighttime walks. We had fun wading in the river and soaking our feet after hiking. The ducks, geese, falcons, trout and elk made it a wonderful place to stay. If you are looking for a lux room with nice features this is not for you. We brought our own pillows, blankets, and coffee maker. If you love nature and a fun adventure and don't mind roughing it a little...this place is perfect.

The first room they gave us had not been cleaned. There was no toilet paper. Light for bathroom didn’t work so they switched us to the next room which had not been cleaned, no toilet paper. The towels were dirty and look like poop on them. Second day there had to ask for toilet paper. Office was closed so I asked a staff member who was cleaning another room for paper. She rolled her eyes and gave me one roll. I asked if I could get two since they were very small. She sighed very loud rolled her eyes again.

Motel vieillissant, a l’arrivée on nous donne les clefs d’une chambre déjà occupée dans la nouvelle aile. Vue superbe sur la rivière la forêt et le parc. Finalement nous avons de nouvelles clés pour une chambre dans la partie non rénovée : la vue et là mais la porte est très difficile a ouvrir/fermer, l’odeur pas très engageante, les wc démontés et la propreté douteuse : punaises mortes sur les rebords de fenêtre, couvre lits tachés et troués par des cigarettes, rideaux de douche collé par on ne sait quoi bref horrible! Le responsable a remis en marche les wc. Des punaises vivantes nous ont rendus visite dans la soirée autant dire que l nuit a été difficile. A éviter même si la vue est magnifique.
