The place was a bit rustic, but we enjoyed our stay. The attached restaurant was good and served a simple but nice breakfast. The hot water in the bathroom gave off a sulfur odor due to - I think - geothermal heating. Overall, though, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
We had a lovely stay at this hotel! The room was very clean and comfortable, and the view from our window was absolutely beautiful—definitely a highlight. There’s a restaurant on-site that looked great, though we didn’t have the chance to try the food this time.
One thing to be aware of: there are stairs to get to the rooms, which made carrying luggage a bit challenging. Also, the parking lot is a bit beat up with some uneven spots, so just be cautious when pulling in or walking through.
Despite those minor issues, the overall experience was great. A peaceful, scenic place that we’d definitely consider returning to.

This is a true gem. Roadside motel just like the old days. The restaurant was fantastic and our room was accommodating. Very cool spot !
The property was right on Route 1. There's a restaurant on the first floor and they have really amazing food. There are lots of places to go to, but you’ll have to drive by the mountains which all had mostly paved roads.The room itself is clean. There's a common room for coffee and tea, and a fridge that can be used. The staff were friendly.
Warm welcome. Friendly, family place. Popular with locals and truck drivers. Food portions good and tasty
Bedrooms comfortable but bathrooms a little tired.
A value for money stopover in a useful location

-The room was spacious and nice. The bathroom was small.
-Restaurant downstairs was amazing. We tried their lamb and it was really good. The chef is great.
-The best part of out stay was their restaurant.
Great location and ways to find. Friendly staff. Restaurant stays open later so was able to get dinner. Room was exactly as described and perfect for 1 person.
