Especially for a hiking hotel I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and space. Great bedding and fridge/microwave were nice. I arrived too early but was still welcomed and allowed to check in. Very nice! The town center was across the highway and new world grocery store opened at 7:30 AM. BK next door.

Booking was easy, excellent communication in advance of the trip (for a late check in), responsive comms during our stay (for routine things) and the room was as advertised, clean and tidy and perfect for our needs. It was also quiet with good off road parking.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our 4 day fly-fishing getaway. The motel was a good size for our simple needs, and we enjoyed its proximity to the water .. we were able to go for lovely evening strolls, and also walk down to fish. Staff were friendly and facilities were good.

Was a one night stop over, so we didn’t need much other than a shower and a place to sleep. The place is newly renovated and clean, and front of house friendly. No complaints from me.
