Such a value find! The room had beautiful view of mountains. The motel albeit being a bit old, was wonderful and clean. The staff were very accommodating. Check-in closes at midnight, but we were unsure if we would arrive by then. I called the place earlier in the evening and informed them about this. They sent us detailed instructions on how to check in ourselves. They also told me to call them anytime if I needed help. Free breakfast was also a nice bonus

Air conditioner out of order. Lucky we didn't need it. TV not working but an employee did replace the controllers. A complex system to operate. Finally got it going. Cheaper than the Wyndham but would be worth the few a few extra $ to stay there.

Not work $400

The concierge was a great guy! The value was very low. $200 per night in an old and dusty room with dirty towels was not my idea of a romantic birthday present.
