Helpful and friendly check-in . It was safe,clean, warm,and quiet. We were going to Ice Castle and close by. Hard to review one night in Feb. The new Roku TV’s came in the day we arrived. It’s better than other 60’s motels we’ve stayed at. We don’t spend much time in a room and enjoy the beauty of the area.

I loved the room. The staff was kind, helpful, and friendly. It was clean, easy to find, and a perfect location off 93 in the whites. Almost perfect! This is a hard review because I wish I could give it 10/10, But, I couldn’t sleep due to the thin walls and noisy heating. Our neighbor’s phone was going off all night. We could hear every single sound they made, so conversations in the middle of the night were intrusive. I use earplugs and white noise apps due to being an OIF veteran/light sleeper, too, but the noise was so close it was impossible. Nothing helped. Three 2 hours of sleep nights max definitely interfered with my ability to function and think. So, it was disruptive. Aside from that, though, it’s very clean and cute! I highly recommend if you’re a deep sleeper, you will be very happy! I just had to say something for my fellow light sleepers because the struggle was real.
