What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews consistently describe a poor and overpriced experience, often likening the accommodation to a youth hostel or camping cabins. Guests frequently reported issues with excessive noise from traffic (motorcycles, trucks, construction vehicles, car stereos) and other patrons (loud guests, kids). Many cabins had bugs, and some lacked basic amenities like a TV or proper ventilation. Check-in experiences were sometimes problematic, with staff being unhelpful or unavailable. Several guests left early due to the unsatisfactory conditions, noting undisclosed no-refund policies. Overall, the sentiment is that the establishment does not offer good value for money and falls short of expectations, with some recommending alternative accommodations.

Pease read other current reviews. At one point this might have been nice and I was stupid enough to read the reviews. A friend who was from there recommended the Occidental or Blue Gables, although he hadn’t been there “in years ”. 9/24 - I phoned on the way and made a reservation for two nights. was given a cabin number and code verbally. We arrived at 3:15, after our 6 hour drive, door wide open and the person cleaning the room yelled at us that check in was at 3. We let them know it was after that, but that we would go for a walk around town and be back, no response. Got back at 5 to shower and change for dinner. The room was full of bugs and virtually no ventilation. We went to dinner and got back 8-ish. I was traveling with an old friend that at one point in his life had a cross country moving van driver so he fell asleep around 9:30 and missed the exodus of motorcycles, trucks and high performance vehicles leaving town and heading North on the highway 30 yards away.He was awoken by the massive downpour and thunderstorm that started at 11:30 and continued till early morning. I got to sleep and was immediately woken by a sump pump conveniently located behind our cabin. Most of the cabins seemed to be filled by construction workers the got up at 4:30 to start their diesel pickups to warm up and most of them left between 5 - 5:30. I checked the weather and the storm was supposed to continue for the next couple days. My buddy woke up and said “This sucks let’s get out of here”. We left and I waited til 8 to call and let them know we were leaving. Of course no one answered and no one confirmed that we had left. Of course when I was making the reservation the didn’t mention there no refund policy. By far the worst Motel/Hotel experience either one of us have had.

It's....kind of a youth hostel. The rooms are expensive for what you get, but besides the rooms, you get other guests hollering and laughing loudly into the night. At some point, some guy demo-ed how his car stereo could make the windows of his car and the windows of the rooms rattle. For comparable money you could stay at the Springhill in Sheridan.

Shoulda stayed somewhere else. In fact, we did. Just drove away from the reservation 2 days early. I made a mistake in making the reservation—the pictures and descriptions are a little inaccurate IMHO.

Not a great fit for the price, akin to camping cabins and should be priced that way. Lots of bugs in the cabin, no way to open screen windows, smelled funny, slept poorly. Loud roadway beside and not great walkability to downtown.

Although there was a small refrigerator in the room, there was NO tv, or microwave. The microwave is apparently located in the "common area". We fought off wasps, and yellow jackets around our room door. Room was clean, as was the bathroom. The advertised coffee shop was not open. When we drove up there was no one at the office, a note was posted on the door with a phone number to call, they then texted me a code for the room door. There were several kids staying there, Saturday night they were loud and we had trouble sleeping
