Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our reservation was canceled around the time we arrived on site to check in! We were in the wilderness area of central Idaho where cell phone coverage was spotty and they had tried to contact us via email earlier in the day to say there was a problem with the payment method (the card had been canceled due to an illegal swipe ~ 10 days earlier). But we had a valid card(s) when we showed up at the hotel. We ended up having to drive 3 hours to our home. Upon review the day after, I see their attempt to contact us earlier the day of the invalid card problem (1:10pm), but a cancelation email around the time we were ON SITE (8:29pm)! If you book here, buy trip insurance.

Disliked: Amenities
Our air conditioner was ancient, froze up and did not work. The room smelled and was very dark.

Liked: Staff & service
Reminded me of one of the hotels that were plentiful along the highway years ago. Nothing fancy but comfy beds. Only place opened to eat was the diner but the food was good. The husband and wife that ran the place were very nice
I noticed that the remote controls were dirty. The beds were comfortable. The door is a key entry and there is no 2nd lock on the hotel door. While the room was no smoking there were cigarette butts on the walkway entering our hotel room. Along the walkway there were garbage cans sitting on the walkway. While the garbage cans were useful, it took away from the curb appeal.

Friendly staff and clean
Good clean spot in town. Friendly staff and dog friendly.
Checked out 2 days early without hopes of a refund. I'd rather have slept in my car.
I was in town for a race, this was the only place available. No idea how they are getting good reviews. And they should be ashamed they charge so much!.
This is not a place you want to stay. It's dirty, dingy... just gross! The bedding and towels smelled DISGUSTING! Removed the comforter and slept in my clothes because I didn't feel clean. This might be one of the worst hotel stays I can recall. One plus - they have A/C.
