Disappointed.
It took forever to find the place! There is no sign that's visible from the road. I drove by the motel 3 times and had to ask several people to find the place! Also, the website said it was just north of the Rainbow River. That wrong! It's just north of some other river--but not the Rainbow River. The room had no chairs in it. We had to specifically ask to get a chair because there was no place to sit--except for the bed. Also, no carpeting anywhere on the floors, so mud was carried in with no place to wipe dirty shoes..;..

The Internet was down entire time We could not conduct business we needed After 5 days ...we asked to check out early because we needed to conduct necessary business The owner declined our request to do this Will NEVER go back! An employee there did their best to assist us The owner "on vacation" declined to allow us to check out ...so we left...had to pay the room fee there AND ANOTHER HOTEL!
