It is a beautiful area and the motel was clean. It needs some upgrading - the shower was not very good at all, no water pressure. The bed was okay but definitely worn out. A beautiful spot and with upgrades it would be an excellent place to stay.

Property older but good condition and very clean. Lack of AC was an issue getting a better sleep. Office location and name Heli Ski vs Saddle Motel was hard to find and with limited cell service in the area made it a challenge to get help, although the staff tried to help.

The property was old and they had a stand up fan instead of air conditioning. The bed was very soft. The blinds were broken, in the living area and the bedroom. For the price and the fact we were just sleeping for one night, it was ok.

Very inconvenient to have to go across the highway to check in. The room was alright but very old and run down. No bath towels just small towels available. The shower head/water pressure was terrible. The restraurant food and service was not good. No outside smoking area or even an ashtray/can for butts so cigarette butts were everywhere. I would not stay at this property again.

I really have had a wonderful stay at saddle Mountain Lodge… The staff are so kind and friendly and welcoming and it’s quiet and that’s what I really love is it it’s comfortable it’s quiet and it’s clean and there’s nothing more you want when you’re staying somewhere to have a quiet I slept like a log… The only thing I regret is I didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant but it was close so I guess it’s because maybe it was in September I’m not sure cause I when I arrived at 12:30 the restaurant was closed so I just didn’t get a chance to check the hours but that’s my only regret is I didn’t get a chance to eat… At the restaurant… I’m deathly gonna recommend saddle Mountain Lodge to everybody who is passing through blue River and I will see them again next year in September… 💝

Motel was quiet but the doors locks could be more protective.. as a single in remote area that was the only uneasy thing I could say… no front desk staff on duty and their other property across hiway closes at 8 so if there was an issue who is there to call? The rooms are older and maybe geared to men who snowmobiie in the area and the restauraunt attached was closed for season so convenience store was option.. maybe a late night pantry with frozen foods and snacks, necessities for late arrivals which are routine in Blue River would be worth a go! The rooms are tidy and clean, new flooring and super comfy beds in the suite I was in:). kitchenette well stocked but I could not find an iron. I would stay here again however I wonder if I was in one bedroom with kitchen and adjoining room was occupied how sound proof it would be. The front desk gal Emily I think her name was was super helpful when the 5 hiway into town was closed and we weren’t sure if it would open in this instance I was impressed with their flexibility and these things are also factors which bring customers back. If you have pets this is a perfect spot as no carpet and clean floors easy access to outside walking areas:)
