The motel is close to town with adequate off-street parking. It has double glazing at the front which reduces the road noise. The interior is dated but clean. The staff are friendly.

The bathroom is a little dated, water pressure in the shower not great and there was no sink to wash dishes apart from the bathroom one (there was a bowl in the cupboard that you could use for this purpose), the bed was comfy, the location great and the staff fantastic! But for our stay it was all we needed and was a popular motel as there were no vacancies that night. I think what made our stay so good was the interaction with the staff and if we were doing a short term stay again we would certainly consider Alpine as an option.

Convenient location

Convenient location. Manager was very nice and accommodating with our checking in late. Hotels.com didn’t have the room descriptions correct and two of the room we had (out of four rooms) actually had another bedroom (2 bedrooms one with 3 twins and one with a king) to it so all of us could have stayed in two rooms total instead of 4. One of the rooms smelled like smoke even though it’s supposed to be non smoking. Additionally, the bathroom windows are drafty and it was cold outside so it was quite awakening when you visited the toilet in the middle of the night.
