I had a fantastic experience staying here! The rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day, which made a big difference in how comfortable and relaxing the stay felt, especially after a day full of hiking. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and greeted us with a smile. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for clean, comfortable accommodations with top-notch service.

The rooms are very clean and decent. It is a motel, so it was exactly what you’d expect from one. It’s off the highway, so it’s very quiet.
