Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Bad road noise, would not change my room when plenty other room’s available. Did not seem to understand English well.
This is where I always stay in Salmon- not fancy but the beds are super comfortable, the price is the best in town and the staff has always been accommodating.
Very thin walls, outdated everything from the clearance rack yet priced like a resort.

Good value, spend your time outdoors!
Remember, this is a "value significant" motel. There's parking at your door, lights, hot water, flush toilet, heat, fridge/freezer, shower, clean towels, and comfy beds n pilows .... an old frame structure with paper thin walls. It's a beautiful area year round.
Hot tub was “out of service” and it appears to have been that way for a long time. These places need to stop advertising they have one if they aren’t going to keep it open.
For a very basic motel I almost never find one as clean as this was. Seriously, cleaner than many modern suite hotel my company puts me on business trips.
