The room was clean and well maintained. The beds and shower were great as were the nice fluffy towels. There were only a few people in the motel, so we were surprised when the room next to us was rented. The people staying there came in late and were inebriated (their statement which we heard while they were trying to get into their room) and were pretty noisy. It was too bad they were right next door when it seemed that other rooms were available.

What a nice surprise for a motel! While the furnishings probably date from the early 90s and a few items could be repaired, they got the most critical things important: The room was clean and the bed was inviting! Plush bed linens along with plush towels that I normally only get at much more expensive hotels. Front desk clerk was deadpan and not exactly warm and welcoming at check-in. Might have been a cultural thing. I'd certainly stay here again.

What a hidden gem. We found this on our way back from Denver. We were able to book at last minute. It's been recently renovated. They need to update the listing as they no no longer has kitchen for continental breakfast. It's been turned into a distillery. The only thing I can say was bizarre is the location of the microwave. It's on the vanity sink. Just a great little place and we'd stay there again for sure.
