Stayed here with our children in 2 rooms. I am guessing that there are different types of rooms that may determine how happy you are with the property- because I missed the charming part of this motel. I kept thinking that it was my grandmothers hours 30 years ago, and I was compelled to wash my hands more often than usual, and didn't go barefoot. A couple of facts worth noting: I asked about breakfast, and Bob said- "We don't do breakfast when it's this cold". Ironically, the highway sign right behind him said BEST BREAKFAST. No mention of breakfast in our room, no mention of anything similar to what previous reviewers have been so excited about with the breakfast. It really struck me as an old place that was just, old. The tub in one of the rooms had so much water under the vinyl liner while showering that each of my children asked to stand on it to experience what their mother described as a rocking ship (they were not allowed to). I had to switch out lightbulbs to get enough light in the bathroom to see- it started with a 40 watt bulb in a 2 bulb fixture. Maybe it's charm to some travelers, everyone's different, but our expectations were not met by this motel.
We booked the room thanks to trip advisor and I'm wondering who the folks are that gave such high marks? We would not recommend the motel to anyone, or stay there again. Our next night at the Cameron Trading Post was very good and the same price for 2 HUGE rooms.
At the risk of the owner surfing my previous reviews or creating a story to make me look bad and discredit my ability to review the property, I feel compelled (several weeks after traveling) to highlight these issues for other traveling families.
I would recommend you look at your room before officially checking in- something that we were not offered.
