Great motel. Strangely though, there was no table or desk in room. I had to use the ironing board to set up my laptop.

Incredible value and comfort

The suite was really comfortable. After many days of hotel rooms, it was nice to have a couch area in addition to the two queen beds. Incredible value for a family and well-maintained.

Awesome

This is the perfect stay after miles of driving between national parks. The beds were clean and very comfortable. Although our room faced the main road, we could hardly hear any cars and trucks from the inside. This room was very spacious with 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and a queen sofa bed. The lady that checked us in at 4pm was very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely stay hear again on our next road trip. Oh, forgot to mention the Shake Shack has the best hamburgers.
