This sink would not drain, the guy who checked me in came right over and had it fixed in no time, I appreciate that. I booked months in advance, it would have been better to have a room that wasn't the closet one to the main road. I will always stay here.

I was a bit disappointed in the place after having read the positive reviews. I was especially disappointed that my room did not have a coffee maker. The decor is quaint, but the room was a bit difficult to heat. Overall it was a decent place to stay for a couple of nights.

The classic virtues of a motor hotel = motel like no elevators. Just unload from your car to your room. Welcoming environment: light breakfast (Otis Spunkmyer quality if that helps) plus orange juice, etc. Microwave in snack room. Very clean. Good TV (Spectrum, not Roku).

Cute place. Nice update and remodel without destroying all the great things about this type of classic motel, beginning with no stairs to climb. Just unload your car. The room was clean but an alcohol wipe on the TV remote might have gotten a tiny bit of grime off. Blackout shades would be a useful update. Like all places, it needs an over-the-air TV antenna so guests can watch local TV (not sure how well that works in mountain towns, though). I’m no fan of Hulu.
