Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Nearly every piece if bedding on both beds were stained. The comforters and the decorative pillows were stained the most. The toilet paper that was on the roll was nearly empty but the first sheet was folded into a point so it looked "fancy" or clean. I was not comfortable using a mostly used roll of toilet paper. On the plus side, no bed bugs or noticeable bugs anywhere. The A/C worked well. Front desk staff was nice.

I like this place for its location right across from the gondola of the Heavenly Ski Resort. It’s also right next to shops and lots of cafes and restaurants, needless to say the casinos. The place is nice and clean with amenities. Parking is easy. Internet connection is fast. Most of all, the staff cares. For example, on my last stay, I left my ski gloves in the room. Two weeks later, on my current stay, they kept them. I got them back. I do not hesitate in booking this place.

Great stay for our weekend ski trips

The motel is great for its location within walking distance to everything (gondola, casinos, shopping, restaurants...). It’s been renovated, and the room looks clean, has no odor. The room is decent in size, but the shower stall is a bit tight for tall, big people. The lady at the front desk,Lisa, is friendly and accomodating, allowing us to have early check in when there was rooms ready. But she's not always there if you need for anything. You have to ring the bell and hope she's inside to come talk to you. One thing we'd like improved: some pillow cases may not have been changed for new arrival, they stink from previous sweat or odor even though they look smooth. The beds have 4 pillows each, so I had to pick another one to sleep on. Other than that it's a great place to stay at for our weekend ski trips. We'll definitely stay here again.

Close to Heavenly Gondola

My bed was comfortable. The shower water didn't get that hot and had to take a lukewarm shower. They do have free parking, and we are allowed to keep our car there while we ski.

The room was okay but the finishes were in dire need of repair. The floor separation from the bedroom to the sink area had flooring that was completely detached. This is an older property in need of repair/maintenance. Parking is also a potential issue as there are far more rooms than parking spots and on street parking is not available. But the staff and close proximity to the downtown area greatly make up for the motels short falls. My family will definitely keep this motel an option for our future trips to the area.

Affordable & centrally located

I had a one night and 6 night stays over 2 weeks. Lucy is accommodating and quick & easy check in. Location is excellent, easy walk to gondola, restaurants, casinos, and Starbucks. Older building, my rooms appear to be recently updated. Has an in room refrigerator and microwave. A good value if you just want hotel without all the frills.
