Didn't stay for the night.

We didnt stay but we book the room for one night, and arrived after 8 pm, amd reception centre was closed, they left the key in the glass box which is all fine. After we found our place, the common area and our suit lights are so yellow, and dark. Also the smell when we enter the little house. We also found spider webs in the bathroom and our suit lights. Two gaint moths flying around in our room. Toilet in the bathroom is dated so as the sink; hardly can turn off the tap. We just left, didn't stay for the night, very disappointed, kids was looking forward to spend the night in a cottage house like this. Wouldn't recommend this place.

We really enjoyed our walk around Eleanor Lake and Blue River. Safe, beautiful and lots of wildlife and edible plants! The only downside was we found the bed uncomfortable.

Good value and great restaurant

The property is generally well kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The Saddle Mountain motel is old but offers a good value and is clean. Worth it. Only complaint is they need to pickup trash left on the lawn and walkway along the motel rooms. There was a used face mask and towelette wipe on the false grass in front of my room. The restaurant is excellent.

Nothing fancy about our room - in older motel across the road from the main complex. We reserved for the price and were satisfied with what we got. Nicer and quieter than the Sandman Inn, down the road, where we have stayed before. What we WERE impressed with was the restaurant. Next time travelling through Blue River, if we are hungry, we are stopping here for sure.

if you need a cheap room, goto the sandman instead

i thought i was booking a room at a nice 4 star hotel with log cabins. i was a bit confused by how cheap it was. the room i actually ended up with felt like it was a reno-ed high end jail cell rather than a motel. the tub could not hold water and the lights in the bath room could only stay on if there was a fan on or if this horribly obnoxious egg timer was going. i got what i paid for but damn this was a disappointment. should have been advertised as a separate 1 star hotel rather than wrapping it up with the 4 star. i wont say i was robbed or mislead but what i got was not even remotely close to my expectations. very dissapointed.

Rooms are comfortable. Didnt know they come with a kitchen which is a plus. Unfortunately lots of mosquitoes inside the room. Surroundings not well kept. Huge difference between the cabin side with the rooms side. Amenities not open during summer.
