Uplift Inn

What guests think

Across many reviews, travelers describe Uplift Inn as a newly renovated, clean, and spacious place with thoughtfully designed rooms and very easy self check-in, offering a comfortable base in town for short stops or nearby exploring.

Guests like the convenient in-town location, close to shops and eateries, and several note friendly, responsive hosts despite limited on-site staffing. Recurring drawbacks include traffic or early-morning noise, occasional plumbing or hot-water issues and an occasional musty linen smell, plus a few comments about firm beds or loud portable AC units. Overall, expect a modern, no-frills, easy-access stay with strong room quality and some potential for noise.

I've stayed in two other area hotels, but JC Suites is the best value for what you pay. Clean, right off the highway (though a little noisy as a result) and easy check in / check out. The parking lot was a little icy and slippery; otherwise, the place was just fine. A bargain.

I booked a room that supposedly had a jetted tub (via the description on hotels.com) no jetted tub..disappointing for sure. The room itself though was beautiful, clean, updated, homey. Nonetheless, if i pay $250 for a room that specifially states it has a jetted tub, i expect a jetted tub.

Not fancy, but if you are looking to avoid the expensive hotels in the ski resort towns this is a good option. The Inn is very close to the main drag. Noise was not an issue since it was summertime and the portable AC unit in our room was loud. It was hard to watch TV with the AC running. There were two recliners in our room, which was a nice touch. This was a one-night stop for us on our way to Utah so we didn't need much. There is a BBQ joint across the street. Also nearby are a hotdog place and a diner that were both very good.

We will rent this place the next time we are in the area. We had a perfect time. The standard room we rented was in reality a suite, it was big enough to easily accommodate 5/6 people. The bathroom had been renovated - it looked brand new. It was very clean and neatly organized. The check-in process was incredibly convenient. They also offered complimentary water bottles and light snacks. As we did not spend time in the surrounding area, I will refrain from commenting on the neighborhood.

This unusual property is not sure what it wants to be. With only 8 units and no staff on site it is more like a high end hostel than a typical hotel/motel. Room was very spacious with a seating area and two queen beds. Bathroom was the highlight of the stay, but still had some minor issues. One of the sink faucets was clogged with particulate matter and no water could flow until the screen was removed and cleaned. This problem repeated itself over our 3 night stay. TV is streaming only and the connection sometimes slows or drops the show completely. The carwash across the street starts at 5:00 am and you can hear the mechanical noises - need double glazed windows. One day this property will be ready for prime time, but not yet. For the price paid, this was not a very good value. We would not return.

The property is in a town that is undergoing transitions and is poised to do well in the future. The immediate area of the property is run down, but I expect that this will improve greatly soon as the town develops more into a biking destination.
