First off, the property was clean and in good repair. I got a clean bed and shower for the night. Don't expect anything fancy. While we were there, I'd say it was mostly aimed at CDT hikers and construction workers. Perfectly safe, but no frills.

Property was old and rundown. Best food option was at the gas station and the coffee cart up the road. Room seemed clean (bathroom sketchy/ wear shower shoes!) bed comfortable. We called it the “Bates” motel. ‘nuff said. Only lodging in town and we were glad to have a place to stay.

This hotel surprised me. The exterior is very dated but the family room was spacious, it had a full kitchen and a private outdoor space. I would stay again.

In a small town with few options, Frontier Motel provided my family with a safe, comfortable spot to spend the night. The motel was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom did have a musty smell, but otherwise no problems. While the room could use an update, it had pretty much anything we needed: microwave, TV, refrigerator. No hairdryer, but I'm guessing we could have gotten one from the office. I also very much liked the big tree outside our room, which had a table and chairs under it. Very pleasant. Staff was professional and helpful.

Black mold on window in shower. Also the drain in the shower looked like the gateway to staph infection or gangrene type of tell my boys to keep their feet out of it not sanitary. Bed bugs squished on the wall didn't see any live ones.

Kinda wierd but the only gig in town!

The room did not have air conditioning. Also the coffee pot was full of molded coffee. Sheets and towels were clean but the tile floor was nasty.

You get what you pay for - there is a reason why it is low cost. Paper-thin walls so you could participate in the conversation in the next room. Friendly guy on front desk and comfortable bed. The adjoining restaurant closed at 6.30 pm on a Tuesday night but did a good takeaway.

Just sleep

Start with positives. Front desk was nice and bedroom section was clean and was quiet. Now the negatives…mold growing above the shower on walls. No door or curtain on shower walk-in which allows water to spray all over the floor. Bathroom is so small you must stand in shower to close the door. I know the place is old but have never had to do that before. If your looking for a quick sleep it will do but wouldn’t stay here again.
