Room was clean when we walked in, the staff was just as friendly as before when we stayed there the first time, the owner personally came up and talked to us and that’s something that you don’t get to have that often at some hotels, perfect view of the northern lights the first night too. The best part is that we didn’t have to worry about taking a Lyft everywhere, we got to take the bus. Definitely going to be staying here again, there’s so much stuff to do in area.

A quaint old motel. Room was small as expected in an old property. But newer furnishings and comfortable bed. Nice deck with seating out the back door of the room. Perfect for eating our dinner and enjoying a beer. There were fire pits available but we did not use one. There was a nice walking trail just behind the property and we were able to walk to a nearby waterfall.
