Cabin like rooms, very cute, clean. Convenient, restraunts, brewery walking distance. The town is cute, nice time rafting on the river.
Nice rustic motel in a convenient location. But the heater in the room didn't work. It was cold. The TV volume didn't work. Silent TV. Coffee pot didn't work. I had to go to a nearby store to get a cup of coffee.

10 hour stay was worth the money.
Upon arrival, nobody at front desk, had to call a phone number for key. 9pm
Upon entry to the room, zero toilet paper, tissue, etc. Had to call again.
A bonus was a great A/C that kept the room comfortable the whole night.
The shower was not appealing so we choose not to shower in the morning and go straight to river rafting.
Location was great and price for 10 hours was just right.
