The staff are fantastic! The entire town on Esclante lost power and the staff did everything they could to keep guests happy and comfortable. The rooms come with hiking guides for the area. It made for a great stay. Will come again

Our room was clean and comfortable. The desk clerk was very kind and capable. This motel is an updated but old motel. The carpet, furniture and paint looked new. The bathroom sink was tired. The bathroom was as tiny as I have ever seen with a shower, toilet and sink in the smallest possible space. That said, it beats camping and in this part of the world with so much beauty to see outside, we were happy for a comfy bed between outdoor adventures.

Older property that has been refurbished. Beds were comfortable. Shower was great. Not many units so it felt very private. Quiet. Lot of history in the town, very walkable. Unit was very clean. Would stay again.
