Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Competitive rates, breakfast included.
Hardworking family keeps things very clean and provides handy extras like water bottles. Could use some renovations, but ok all around.
This is what you always wish an independently owned motel was still like. Staying here made the road trip feel like the golden days long gone when you could feel the personal touch of pulling up to a motel at the end of a day driving and feel like you had arrived at a friend’s place. We were traveling with a well behaved cat and called ahead to make sure it was ok. Not only was it ok, but they happened to be fostering a litter of kittens and offered to let us cuddle them when we arrived!
I’d stay here again any time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cute place to stay at a fair price. Nothing fancy, just good folks who care.
Everything was great. If I made any suggestion on improvements, it would be to add a hair dryer in the bathroom.
Super clean. I will say this is a cool retro vibe place with a county rustic and and vintage feel. If you are the type that needs a corporate glam place, this isn't for you. If you are looking for homey, friendly folks that care a lot about your stay, and you love the outdoors, this is it! Owners operate this establishment. They also own more land behind the motel that is a fabulous scenic hike about! Loved it all! (except the lack of a hair dryer.)
If you like a place with some soul & a personal touch, this is for you. It's a vintage building but it's been updated. Our room had a fine view of Sleeping Ute Mountain (I think some don't, not sure).
The first presentation when I drove into the property is that it’s dated and I worried that
Would translate to poor maintenance. Not the car. The room was vintage, but clean, in good repair (clearly recently renovated) and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. For travelers with pets it’s a great place to stay.
Oldish property, undergoing remodeling (according to owners). Clean and pleasant room, new A/C, very nice owners who fulfilled all our requests. The place has a lot of potential, but also needs tons of work. A good place to stay at a reasonable price - would recommend.
Joy and your husband were wonderful to work with and very responsive to any needs we had. They are currently renovating the property and making good progress. Clean, quiet, I would come back 😊
Very very friendly & helpful couple. Clean, quiet, comfortable., place was being remodeled & room was very nice. An excellent selection of pastries plus yogurt & fruits, orange juice, good coffee & creamers.
Clean, comfortable, tidy & rustic. Felt like I was stepping back to a simpler time. It is an older hotel with few updates but Joy & Ty made the stay! They were amazing friendly and ensured we had pleasant accommodations. I will stay here again.
