In the last 37 years of travelling in both the US and here in beautiful British Colombia, we have never rated a motel as highly as we have for Fireweed.
It was perfect in every single way so stop looking now if your looking for a place to stay and book this wonderful little gem.

Clean renovated rooms. Staff seems friendly enough with the little interaction I had with them. I don't think there is AC in the rooms, so I might avoid in the hottest days of summer.
