Disliked: Amenities
The room was spacious. It needs the bathroom updated. It needs daily housekeeping and better TV service. The TV was fuzzy. You can walk to town. If you are older or have trouble walking, back to the motel could be a challenge. All up hill.

This is a great place to stay. It has a unique layout and an onsite cafe. The swimming pools are nice. There is a trolly stop right out front. We had a balcony over looking a creek which was very relaxing. Will definitely be coming back.

Clean but could be more comfortable

Rooms were clean but definitely needed some repairs. The beds were very firm and my back was not forgiving. On the other hand the staff was very wonderful and we really enjoyed the pool area. We had a room with a balcany on the creek and did not realize the balcany was so small theres no seating. Still nice to have though. Unfortunately for us no bears on the creek during our stay
