Michael

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean. Had everything they advertised. This is an older model, so keep that in mind. Room was on the back side, very quiet. Air conditioning just barely adequate for the room, although it was very hot, in the upper 90s. Bathroom very small, but it had a good shower. Overall, this place was OK. Price was very reasonable compared to the other places in the area.

Great place

Great overall stay. The air conditioner was noisy during the night, but that seems to be pretty normal at motels. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. Very nice overall stay. Thank you.

I really liked the back yard landscaping ie; fire pit setup. 2 gazebos with 2 outdoor grills each very spacious . I noticed that the pool however was very small . I didnt like being charged double due to an event in the area, especially since the MAIN EVENT didnt even occur due to little wind. GREAT GALENA BALLOON FEST / RACE/ GLOW ?????
