Bad wifi and the residential properties around the motel had their dogs barking all night. Room was not cleaned as thoroughly as it should've been. Good location for sleeping after hiking though.

We accidentally got locked out of our camper and by 10 pm realized we were not getting back in until the morning. We booked online, walked to the hotel, they sent someone to get us checked in so we were able to sleep somewhere warm.
