Perfect for a quick 2 night stay. Didn’t explore the property at all, but the beds were comfy enough and the room was quiet. Water in bathroom sink got dangerously hot. Didn’t use shower. No contact check in & check out was great.

No frills clean and cute spot

I was staying overnight in the area, decided to check out this sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually like motel style places, but it was a very clean, cute location. Definitely will consider again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room was furnished with tag sale furnishings and a “clothes hanging structure “ bolted to the wall with a lamp in the way. Being quite isolated the lack of a coffee machine was mystifying. The cost was commensurate with the quality of the room.

Good value- some rooms better than others

Check in was easy- received a door code via text. We got a room for the weekend to ski. Options to bring a dog are limited so we took a gamble here vs the main hotel Red Lion for half the price. We stayed in a two bed room double. It was.. ok. The room was cute and kitschy. There was a mini fridge and a mini vintage appearing microwave. The beds were actually comfortable and bedding was overall pretty clean. (Unfortunately, when the sheet pulled up it showed evidence of stains on the mattress cover but we didn’t notice it until we were checking out :-( ) There was still crumbs on the floor and bits of other dogs food there. The bathroom was small— shower was updated but the floor wasn’t. Floor was not clean and had not been vacuumed. Overall, it was a good value for the price! It was very functional and met our needs for a ski weekend where we just needed somewhere to sleep.We had other friends that stayed in King beds and they were more updated and cleaner. All the rooms had different layouts. Some had a small dining area and others with two chairs and a coffee table. Some bathrooms were really big! There appeared to be a common area but it was not open. I’d definitely book again but get a King. Maybe the full sized rooms will get an update soon!

Cute place. Old motel with some newer kitchy decor. Comfortable bed. Clean enough. Moldy smell and paper thin walls.
