Very clean and comfortable. My room had a jetted tub which worked great. Furnishings above average for a motel. WiFi happened to be out but I’m sure this was an aberration.

I felt the snow and ice where I parked should have been cleared/made safer. Apart from that, I had a great stay.

Easy, simple check-in after long day driving. Front desk woman was super nice and helpful. Room was cute and there was a local, quick diner right behind our room, so that was a great bonus after such a long day! Would definitely stay here again!
