Unreal location, literally on the doorstep of the dark sky project building. Breakfast included at cafe literally next door. Everything you needed in the room. Balcony was nice to have too, as could try spot some of the stars at night. Person on reception was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice and spacious suite with a great jacuzzi tub. We were pleasantly surprised by how close the motel was to the lake and the famous church. It was very walkable, which made it so convenient for seeing the attractions, taking hikes and star gazing. The free breakfast was excellent. The staff at the restaurant went above and beyond accommodating our requests. The food was delicious! We loved our stay!

All was good. This is central to everything. The town was very busy with lots of tourists and things going on. Parking was a problem with us and other guests unloading and trying to find somewhere to park elsewhere in the town. It would appear non-guests were using some of the parking spaces up. The kitchen area was small but there were 2 bed rooms which made it roomy to keep it from getting cluttered. Nice balcony. The place has been well used so maybe a little worn. Great location and atmosphere.

The room was pretty comfortable. The location is amazing! The breakfast was really good. We left an item in our room they confirmed they found it, but we’re having a really difficult time getting a response from them about mailing it to us. They said they would, but haven’t done it yet and stopped responding. We were hoping to receive it before we leave the country. They also close really early, make sure you have things worked out in advance.
