Nicely renovated old style motel with down to earth owner and friendly dog & cat on premises. Clean room with comfortable bed and good amenities, and extra towels provided for use at the hot springs. Room could be improved with blackout curtains and/or shades for better privacy and darkness in morning for people who want to sleep late.

Great check in even though there was some confusion due to an erroneous listing on Expedia. Was given a room with two full beds instead of the king we cooked but it all worked out. All the appliances worked well and the room was very quiet
