It was a fun trip back in time. The bed was good, shower was hot and the price was reasonable. It was better than the Days Inn in Kanab. Cleaner too. I’d stay here again.

It was dusty, not clean, mold in the shower. A shower without light and a black curtain. Water was really cold or boiling! Bed was comfy, and the pillow was nice for my back. The room itself was cranky and need a upgrade!🫣

Stayed here back in april to visit to north side of the grand canyon. We booked after 10pm while driving and the owner was extremely understanding and still waited more than 1hr to check us in (even though check in was supposed to be closed for the night). He even went futher by staying on the phone for a little while directing us where the motel was as we had no clue where we were. His exact words "the place is lit up like a christmas tree" in which it was making it super easy to find. Each room was a separate cabin which i thought was really cool, felt like you were in a log cabin in the middle of no where. Cant go wrong booking a room for a few nights while staying on the north side of the canyon, i recommend staying here especially if you're from the city. Its a great place to just get out and relax outside the city.

Perfect value for money. The cabins are simple, but you can see that the owner maintains them with simple means but a lot of love. We particularly liked the green courtyard in a desert-like setting. In the morning, deer and hummingbirds come into the garden.

It’s an old small town motel. Not for the spoiled and entitled. So, considering what it is and for the price, it was great. The location was right off the highway, great parking, and a beautiful yard and lots of area to walk your pets. The motel has 12 different rooms split into 6 units. They are over a hundred years old but pretty well maintained. There were a few small things that needed attention but nothing to deserve 4 stars. Our room, number 12, even had a small kitchenette. The has wall heater worked really well and so did the hot water heater. The room had a microwave, fridge, hairdryer, wifi, a comfy bed, an extra blanket, and a single serve coffee pot with good coffee and was clean. Also, no bugs. It covered the basics well! I actually loved how different and unique the place was compared to more modern places. The folks there very nice. If we come back through, we will definitely stay again.
