The motel is a historic building which in 1929 was a boardinghouse which now has been renovated to a hotel. The room is newly remodeled and had a spacious remodeled bathroom, which we appreciated. There was freshly brewed coffee, granola bars, apples and a variety of tea in the lobby in the morning.

Other reviews were not flattering but this is a 97 year old building. Stairs creak, the wood exterior is weathered. With that being said the bathrooms were clean, furniture matched old style era. Coffee and snacks in the lobby was an excellent treat. Old western style balcony access from the rooms upstairs. This is not a new property with newer style rooms so don’t expect it but for a good comfortable night to sleep and simple amenities it is great. Staff helpful and friendly I would stay again

A Best Western or a Hilton it ain't, but there was really nothing wrong with Dawson House Lodge. The air conditioning was ample and easy to operate. A notice posted in the room warned of draconian penalties for smoking in the room, but I checked out smoothly the next morning without any smoking inspection to verify compliance. The information notebook in the room had, among many materials, menus from the two cafes across the road, KJ's and the Ponderosa Lounge. Neither was open when I went out around 7 pm looking for dinner. Ended up at nearby Lupita's Tacqueria.

Don't judge a book by its cover.....I enjoyed my stay at this lodge. Located in a small town but close to so much. You have within a drive a National Park, waterfalls and hotsprings. There is a gas station and sandwich shop across the street. Reception was professional, room was clean and spacious. Nice hot shower. You can't go wrong with this lodge. Book today!

Really old building needing some major renovations, could have been kept cleaner. TV remote only worked in changing channels, even then someone had to show how to turn on in correct input! I was told someone would fix the next day but never did...
