We went to see the wildflowers around Soda Lake, but due to hotter-than-usual weather that caused the blooms to fade early, we were unable to see them; nevertheless, we spent a clean, quiet, and comfortable night there.

Great little motel. I like it because you park right in front of your room. Off the main highway but worth the side trek. They have an ice maker and a pool. Have stayed one night twice and it is quiet and secure. Room has small coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. Mattress and pillows were very comfortable. A huge bonus is the attached Mexican restaurant La Salsa. No need to leave the property. Will be back.
