We were greeted warmly & made comfortable. Our room was spacious and clean. A referral to a local restaurant was a very good choice for dinner.

Aspen on King Motel
Overall a pretty good property. The staff were fantastic and wonderful to talk to. The unit was clean and tidy. The only negative was there wasn't too much around and you need a car, but I'd still recommend the property for a well priced stop-over.
