Nice place to stay

Great place to stay. Clean, furniture is in good condition and looks clean, clean walls, bathroom looks newly renovated, a bit of a problem with the shower though. There is no elevator to get to the 2nd floor.

When I made my reservation for this motel I wasn't aware this was a... motel. So I way to make people aware. See picture. It's not a bad motel. Pretty nice rooms, although they smell like motel rooms. The breakfast is very good and we slept well so everything was fine.

I was a bit surprised that it was an older motel, not a hotel but driving the area saw that most places on main street were motel style. Our room was updated, very spacious and clean. The pool was not available during our stay which was a disappointment. There is not a hot tube either, but, the tubs are deep and comfortable for soaking. Breakfast was a highlight. We had eggs and biscuits and gravy and returned later for cinnamon rolls. There were so many other choices and their breakfast burritos have received great reviews. For dinner we walked down the street to the Vernal Brewery which was excellent!
