This is not the place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful night. Though the rooms were clean, the smell of bleach hit you as soon as you walked in the room, it was sadly a bit run down.

Great motel for a quick stay

Staff was super friendly. Hotel is clean, looks very newly repainted. It’s a simple motel without frills but really nice in that category. Second floor has a great view of the rock!
