We asked for better pillows as the pillows were flat as pancakes and there wasn’t a selection in the room, it seemed to be a hassle to the staff at the front desk when asked for better pillows, the room was clean and comfortable and well equipped

The staff, a Chinese young man (forgot to ask his name) is very friendly and helpful. He introduced the small town to us, like where to go for what, when we first checked in. The room is spacious and clean, good for 3 of us. -=

Bad wifi and the residential properties around the motel had their dogs barking all night. Room was not cleaned as thoroughly as it should've been. Good location for sleeping after hiking though.

Very poor shower. Odd kitchen with an unusable cupboard space. Great location though!
