No ticket, no laundry, yes refund.

After arriving and checking in, I was informed that the laundry was out of service. I chose this location for the laundry, as I am camping. I have tried to contact Hotels.com to cancel and for reimbursement and have been unable to reach anyone. I left the hotel and booked elsewhere. I expect a total refund.

Perfect for our one night stay driving through. Staff was very friendly and a sit down breakfast was a nice treat. It’s an older hotel, but everything was clean and updated. Would definitely stay here again!

Older, local hotel, but well-kept. Don't expect it to be like a mainstream competitor, but do expect good customer service, and clean, simple rooms. Breakfast, restaurant style, is unique and enjoyable.

My Mom (85) and I were put in a long day on the road. Normally I read reviews etc, before booking. I was tired and did not. I’m happy I just booked! It is a a genuine refurbished mid century western motel! Super quaint, and Hailey at the front desk was great, as was the Chef for breakfast. The gift shop featured local artists work that was amazing. Not the normal tourist junk. We will definitely stay here again

Property was ok. Its more like a motel than a hotel. Room and Bathroom was dated and not very clean. Everything was scrammed in a small room. Not the best of the stay but also not the worst. Staff is humble. Breakfast option is limited and basic.
