The worked out very well for us. Directly on the snow trail. Very nice staff/owner. We arrived before normal check in hours and hit the trails right away. Because we didn't actually go to room until after 9pm, there was a remote "check in" option that works well. I wouldn't recommend for vehicles pulling long 16ft or bigger trailers, as parking is very tight. But for a little 10 ft trailer, it was wonderful 👍

Room was awesome! Very, very nice rustic rooms. Andrea was the friendliest desk clerk I can remember having and we travel a lot. They have a beautiful welcoming cat, he is so nice. We would never stay anywhere else from now on when we come to Hayward.

My only complaint is with the booking. I booked a double queen bed room, only to find upon arrival that we were given a single queen with a couch fold out bed. I don’t know if it was Expedia’s fault or the hotel, but please be careful when booking your own room and call to confirm you get what you paid for. Other than that mishap, the hotel was very nice! Clean and accessible!

This is a typical small town roadside motel, nicer and cleaner than most. We’ve been on a long road trip and we’re just so sick of the brand chains, we thought we’d try something different. It’s fine. We had a clean, large room, decorated in Northwoods kitsch. We upgraded to a River View room to cut down on road noise. True - the room is right on the river, but those rooms just sit perpendicular to the building along the road, sort of joined at the corner, so while you are on the river, you also have a perfect view of the highway over the bridge 50 yards away. Unless sitting on the deck watching the river is important, it’s probably not worth the upgrade. The highway seems to calm down at night anyway.
