It was really affordable and the staff was friendly. Theres amazing mountain views and it gave me a good place to relax and get away from everything. There's a place right next door too so I liked it.

Great place

Would not recommend!

My partner and I noticed that there were tics on the beds right before going to sleep. It was disgusting. We killed the ones we saw, but more kept coming.

We ended up sleeping in the car.

Disgusting: Tics on the bed

This place is the worst I have seen. Surprised it is allowed to operate. Nasty!! Stains on everything. Mold and mildew in the bathroom. I am glad I had my trusty travel Lysol spray. Doors didn't even have security locks, Everything is run down, old and in desperate need of repair.

Terrible

This place was filthy with stains on sheets and bed spread. Nasty. Saw 2 roaches on arrival to room. Two women with all their belongings piled in clothes baskets hanging out in front of a room. Another room had several male visitors in a short period of time. Hmmm. We got the heck out of there without even getting our money back.  Beware. 

Good Lord

I wish I had read these reviews first, but I was desperate for a place to stay on a holiday weekend! 

When I arrived, I was told the rate was $58, not the $48 I was quoted on the phone.  It was a holiday weekend (Independence Day weekend), and I felt stuck with staying here … but I did insist that the rate was $48, and since that was the rate on the website, I prevailed on that one point once I pulled it up on my cell phone. But I should have walked out then … 

I have never stayed in a a motel room with such disgusting conditions – for a start,  the room stank  of mold and stale cigarettes – it was a non-smoking room, but I doubt the drapes or anything else was changed since it was a smoking room. Every wall was appallingly in need of paint, there was mold growing everywhere, including on the glass of a hung picture. There were burn holes in the blanket, the towels were extremely dingy, though they were once white – and some of them had holes in them, too. I had foolishly paid before inspecting the room – and I had tried to get reservations at several other places before finding availability and I was sure that walking out meant driving home and missing the festival I had come to attend.  

Garbage was piled up under the stairs and not completely sealed by any means  (see photos)  … water damage everywhere explains the mold. I did insist on moving to another room the next day, but that one, while less stinky, was just as yucky … and a roach in the morning didn’t make it any more pleasant, even if it was dead. Everywhere were signs of neglect – missing light bulbs, for example, blackout curtains in shreds. 

On the plus side, the linens seemed to be clean and I didn’t bring home any bed bugs.
