I've stayed here a few times and they have the absolute friendliest people working the front desk, the rooms have always been very clean and for an older facility it is very well maintained. The small park behind it along the river is a great place to relax, as is the pool. The pool is closer to the river than the motel, but I absolutely LOVE where it is. It also boarders the park, is shaded by some nice trees and makes for a lovely evening soak!

This hotel has a motel feel with big rooms and a fabulous hot spring fed pool. Our family of 5 loved it. We wish we could have stayed a second night. The town is small and touristy with great food and coffee options. Be aware if you go during the week some quick food options are closed earlier. If you come through the area, this hotel is a great place to stay.
