A cute well maintained hotel much nicer then you'll get in the city for the same price. In Denver the same kind of room was $250. We got in around midnight, it was the only hotel in the city and one of the only in the like last 100 miles. We had a wonderful night's sleep, good shower, good coffee provided by the room. And now we're off to travel some more.

We stayed here during a cross country trip from Virginia to Oregon and found this hotel to be convenient, private, clean, and safe. Old school motel charm in a small mountain town. The ease of calling in and receiving a door code was refreshing after a week of walking through crowded hotel lobbies.

Service is 6 stars! I’ve had to book here for weeks for my employees and every time I’ve spoken with the front desk over the phone, McKenzie and Delaney have been completely on top of things and super friendly. I book a lot all over many states and I have never had such good service. Very appreciative!

Great staff and convenient location. Stayed here about five years ago and was recently remembering this trip. I was traveling and stayed the night and when I woke up my car wouldn't start (fuel pump). I ended up staying three extra days while the local shop got the parts they needed to fix it. Such a great stay I'm still thinking about it to this day!

Clean rooms, big comfortable beds, great shower pressure, clean microwave n dorm sized fridge, ample parking for oversized vehicles. Window a/c was perfect for room size. Delightful late night drive off the highway- so many stars! Loved the keypad checking process- seamless. Highly recommended for the budget traveler who wants the details done right.

This place was a total life saver! The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional. They got us setup with a couple of rooms last minute due to the weather conditions on the 80. The rooms were very clean with up to date heaters that made the room comfortably warm without any additional sounds. If I ever come through this way again. I will certainly stay here.

This place was one of the most interesting places I've stayed in. First of all, there was nobody on site to rent a room. You call, they take your info over the phone, and then send you a code to get in your room. It's keyless. Idk why, but I loved that! The room was clean and roomy. And they allow pets, which is a big deal since we are moving and have 6 of them! A lot of places allow dogs not cats. As long as they don't do damage, it's ok. Mine didn't,
