This was our second stay this year. Clean and comfortable. Fantastic staff too. They went above and beyond to provide me with ice and more for when I returned with an injury from skiing. Very accommodating. Wish I could give more stars. Will return. Thank you!

I actually loved this little motel. Recently renovated, theres nothing close in the area. Closest place to eat is over 45 minutes away. Theres a coffee shop down the street with bizarre hours.

Small hotel but rooms were recently remodeled and very clean. Kind of high for such a small and basic but I would stay there again if I needed to. Since we didn’t drive all the way up to S Lake Tahoe.
