Great view of the mountains and lake. Two separate bedrooms were great. Upstairs is very spacious. Downside is the space takes quite a while to heat up when it's cold. Heat does not make it to downstairs very well.

Nice basic motor lodge. Friendly staff

Perfectly fine motel. Nothing fancy, but handy to town. Due to a last minute booking I ended up with a large apartment style room with multiple bedrooms that would be more than suitable for a budget conscious family.
