Good value, spend your time outdoors!
Remember, this is a "value significant" motel. There's parking at your door, lights, hot water, flush toilet, heat, fridge/freezer, shower, clean towels, and comfy beds n pilows .... an old frame structure with paper thin walls. It's a beautiful area year round.

Amazingly clean, very basic
For a very basic motel I almost never find one as clean as this was. Seriously, cleaner than many modern suite hotel my company puts me on business trips.
