Great small basic motel. Very clean, staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was surprisingly big! Door automatically locks when closed, which made me feel safer as a woman.

The room is updated and very clean. I liked the hot water comes out very quickly and very hot. Check-in is easy and staff is very nice. The bed is comfortable as well. If the bathroom equips with a ventilation fan would be better. Overall, nice stay for a night after long driving.

For an overnight stay Motel Happy Salmon provided a clean comfortable room in a convenient location. The motel is newly renovated in a pleasant style. There is a terrific pub in Canoe Village at the lake, a short walk down the hill from the motel.
The room was clean and in good condition. Staff was friendly and professional.

Order place, renovated, very nice and clean. Very good people to deal with we could not figure out how to bring the heat down, but that was no issue. I recommend this place to anybody who has a budget to stick to.
