Summary: It was as advertised. The only complaint I would have is that the room smelled like dirty feet.

Summary: I do not recommend this motel, for the following reasons: the room was not cleaned during the three nights I stayed there. Also, the room wasn't particularly clean when I checked-in (for example: there was an empty soda can underneath the bed).

Summary: Maybe we were not the type of people this motel was meant to serve. We just wanted a nice, comfortable, clean place to sleep. This place was not that for us. It seemed to me to be a place where a bunch of young people rent a room together, ski all day, then just crash. The building was in desperate need of repair and upgrade. It had NO HOT WATER, so we could not shower. And it had ants. It’s a one and done for this place for us!
