Good place managed by family owed business owner Bud. Amazing mountain view with relaxing atmosphere. Bathrooms and bed are old but can be managed for night. Basic facilities are available microwave, refrigerator bathtub, laundry . But wifi is not available which can be managed in my opinion. Would definitely recommend if someone want to spend night with cheap price. The owner is very good and helpful. Best part is our room was at first level so we could park car right outside the room. Very remote place but good to spend a night after travel.

Pleasantly surprised with the room. It's an overmotel but has everything you need with the exception of Wi-Fi. I've never understood why some people feel they need a motel room the size of a small house. This rooms have a bad, TV, small fridge, desk and just about anything you need. They are dated and small but get the job done. The gentleman at the front desk was extremely nice to deal with. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. If you need a place to grab a bite to eat, I highly recommend the wildcat diner just to the North and on the right.
