8/10

This is an isolated area, so not many hotels. It's right on the main roadway with a gas station across the street, so it could be a little noisey. The room was a bit small but had a retro design and clean. It's a bit pricey, but there's not much else to choose from

OMG, this property makes me rethink any other I had rated 5 stars: this is exactly what a hotel stay should be. Quaint and comfortable with lounging areas, fire pit/grilling area, vintage and very well-maintained rooms, a pool in season, and a reworked school bus as a free Continental breakfast spot. It's amazing and a testament to this community that a town of 664 can have this place and it be so wonderful. Definitely coming back to stay here and check out the canyons too!
