Liked: Amenities
Staff were very friendly, room was mostly clean, a menu for casa Colina in the room would have been amazing (but easy to find online). Housekeeping was fair, all shampoo, conditioner and body wash were empty. Some bugs squished on the blackout curtain, but nothing in the rest of the room. Shower needs a little better design but that isn’t a huge thing. Water just gets on the floor. Overall, it is a very nice improvement from a motel.

Friendly staff, walkable into town, nice heated swimming pool. Lovely room. Little bit of a shame that the restaurant closes so early in the evening. But this seems par for the course outside US cities - but worth noting for international visitors.

There were gnats in our room, lots of them. There was also a plunger left just outside our door partially in a bag throughout our stay. I was a little disappointed as this looked different in person, the lobby is accurate, but this is a motel. Clearly older and renovated, but I expected it to be nicer given the pictures. The room was large, beds were good.

The staff was nice but we had a major problem with our stay. When we got back from dinner ai went to shower and there was something wrong with the trap or plumbing because a major sewer smell was released and stunk up our whole room. I called the front desk and the girl was nice and brought us a fan but it didn’t help. We opened the door but it was 30F outside and then the heater wasn’t working to warm it back up. The room was grungy and had mold in the bathroom on the shower liner and around the window. You could hear people talking and snoring in neighboring rooms. Somehow this place is rated as a 4 star but it’s honestly a 2. It’s a creaky old wooden motel and then the sewer issue put us over the edge. We didn’t sleep and left the room at 5:00am when Starbucks opened so it completely derailed our trip which was also my birthday.
