I spent one night here while on a ski trip. Great location, on a main road, just a short walk to downtown, and across the street from the lake. The building is older and a bit dated but the room was very clean. It is an unmanned property. There is no staff, they text you a code to open the door to your room . Modest accommodations at a reasonable price. Would I stay here again? Yes, you really can’t beat the location for the price.

Great location. A little worn in some places, but clean . A typical lakeside or mountain motel . The bed felt new. It was firm memory foam. What I noticed especially what was the room was not moldy and that's a big thing for me. I would stay there again

The room was fine, nothing special but acceptable. EXCEPT - There was no heat, and by morning the temp outside was in the 20s, so we were shivering in our room; and the mattress was old and uncomfortable. Also, our room was right on the busy street - not a problem itself except that there were blinds but no curtains on the windows, so we felt too exposed.
