Just ok.
Hotel was ok. Some improvements have been made (bathroom). Bed is very old and uncomfortable. Linens are also very old. Carpet was disgustingly dirty. We found this out thanks to a wet towel on the floor. Driveway is very hidden off the main road. Also, very dangerous to exit. Only benefits if this hotel is the drive up parking spot and the plethora of elk that came down to the golf course next door. I would not stay here again.

8/10 Very Good

Pretty good & convenient, but could be better
Pretty good motel for two nights. Close to equestrian center which was important for us and to the town's Visitor Center (nicest one we've seen). There are some things that detracted: very small bathroom, smoke alarm was a wall-plug in over in a corner, breakfast had some good items but after two days it got old -- cheese omelets with fake cheese, hash browns, and sausage links. Nice duck/goose pond, but where there are geese there's also poop! Had to prepay. They offered early check-in but would've charged us $20, even though the room was ready at 1pm (check-in time was 4pm). We declined.
