Disliked: Amenities
The room was spacious. It needs the bathroom updated. It needs daily housekeeping and better TV service. The TV was fuzzy. You can walk to town. If you are older or have trouble walking, back to the motel could be a challenge. All up hill.

This is a great place to stay. It has a unique layout and an onsite cafe. The swimming pools are nice. There is a trolly stop right out front. We had a balcony over looking a creek which was very relaxing. Will definitely be coming back.

Clean but could be more comfortable

Rooms were clean but definitely needed some repairs. The beds were very firm and my back was not forgiving. On the other hand the staff was very wonderful and we really enjoyed the pool area. We had a room with a balcany on the creek and did not realize the balcany was so small theres no seating. Still nice to have though. Unfortunately for us no bears on the creek during our stay

Liked: Staff & service
My husband and I stayed just a short weekend to celebrate a big life change. The pools were nice and not super crowded. We did manage to see LOTS of bears 🐻 and the cafee is pretty overpriced for what it is but it was convenient to not walk to town everytime we got hungry. My only complaint is that the rocking chair collapsed on me when I went to sit on it. Turns out a previous guest clearly broke it and tried to mash it back together. I weigh a whole 100 pounds and it was a hard fall so imagine a "normal" sized adult.

A great place to stay. We're never looking for anything fancy. My girlfriend stayed here as a child, so it brought back some good memories for her.
