When you think about a motel located behind a gas station all sorts of negatives are conjured up. However you would be wrong about this place. It was quiet, clean and had all the amenities a traveler would need. This is not a quaint cottage but it is a quiet, clean place to spend a night or two

For an older hotel, in a smaller town it was definitely acceptable. I liked that my vehicle was parked in front of my room. The location is excellent for day hiking staging. Older hotels are quieter, of which , I value not hearing my neighbor as much. The room was clean. Trade offs: I do not like sleeping on soft mattresses nor dim light ( hence I travel with a small lamp) Although , for an older hotel the lighting was better the most with one in ceiling light fixture. Lastly, carpet should be removed in the rooms for obvious reasons. This could be an upgrade, but I understand , a capital expense.

Nice surprise
I reserved online. When we pulled up, honestly, I was nervous. I will admit that I am a bit of “A Princess and a Pea” sometimes, but the room was comfortable and clean as a whistle. A bit quirky for sure, but I would absolutely stay again.

A convenient spot in Big Pine. Not the greatest experience though, felt a little run down and the property was a second priority to the convenient shop/gas station.

Good place for a night rest
A nice quick stop for gas and overnight rest just before you back on the road. Not a luxurious place to stay but good enought to stop and get some sleep.

Provided room looked right across into gas station. Was worried about noise but thankfully not to much at night. OK, for a small-town motel. The design of the room was really liked with the nice kitchenette. Carpet was very dated but attendant said they are in process of replacing.

My son and I stayed there because we were going on our first backpacking trip. At around 9 PM I discovered that the latch on the window did not lock. I stuck my pole in the window and carried on. It was a street level room so I consider that to be very unsafe. In the morning I did report it to one of the workers and he denied that it was broken. I asked him to follow me and we would check it out. He refused because he was working the cash register at the gas station. He was very rude about the whole situation and was mad at me for reporting it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room was large with two double beds and a single, plus dining area. The room was spotless and real care had been taken in getting it ready eg the way the towels and toiletries had been set out. The staff at the store where you check in and out were friendly and helpful and the store itself has everything we needed re food and drinks. We went to the Copper Top BBQ down the road for food - definitely recommended.
