This is a great option for anyone driving through Clearwater or exploring the local trails and lakes. It's conveniently located if you're continuing your road trip the next day. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks better in person! The rooms are clean and comfortable, with all the basic amenities families need. Breakfast is included at the on-site diner—and it was the best one we had on our entire trip from Vancouver to Banff! (Tip: get there early to beat the morning rush—it gets busy.) The hotel follows a motel-style layout, so if you're traveling with family in separate rooms or want to stay close to your vehicle, let the staff know in advance so they can place you near each other. We didn’t, and it made unloading luggage a bit more challenging. The staff were incredibly friendly and handled a tricky situation with great care: someone in our group forgot their phone in the room, and we didn’t realize until we were in the next city. The team found it, arranged payment, and FedExed it to our home address without any hassle. Truly excellent service!

The staff were very nice but outside of the room, the property seems in rough shape. There was all kinds of debris around the property and from the outside, this place looks terrible, run-down. The room itself was nice, though the parking area outside the room was falling apart and full of deep puddles once it rained

Good location since the Hotel is right by the Highway. Rooms are clean , spacious and updated. Good complimentary breakfast ( 3 choices) in the restaurant. We had the eggs, meat and toast & coffee. Not fancy but good. Our room opens to patio with a courtyard, quite nice! One night stay is perfect!
