This was a great place to stay. Ideal for people prior to heading on their mountain adventures. I was very pleasantly surprised. Nice, decorative property. Cabins are small but clean and well cared for. Nice quality towels, bed, etc. Also included is a sit down breakfast served to you. I highly recommend!

Hwy. 395 Trip
We arrived at the motel around 3:30. A note on the office door instructed us to ring the bell. After about a minute the door opened and we were greeted. We walked into the office gave our name and Doug, the clerk, entered everything on the computer. He directed us to our room and then ld us to park in front of it. The room was cozy and there was some noise from the roadway.

Motel with a nice view! But SO noisy...
We stayed in this motel for one night - The exterior is beautiful and it has a nice view of the mountains.
We arrived around 7:45pm - The owners left an enveloppe on the office door to give us the instructions: easy check-in.
They offer breakfast at 7am in the morning (even if the website says it's not included).
The room is small but has everything you need. The bed is comfortable, bath towels are great, microwave is a plus.
It's clean if you're not too picky - There's dust under the bed and the side tables.
BUT it is way too noisy (we were in room 8) - You can hear the road as if all the windows were open (they were not), you can hear every word coming out of your neighbour's mouth (not just mumbling: e v e r y words - we even heard someone beating eggs in the morning) and the AC is so noisy it's impossible to sleep with it on (and it was too hot to sleep without so...).
It was good for one night.
