We had a wonderful stay. The restaurant had great food and live music. We also enjoyed the outside seating area. The rooms are dated but clean. The mattresses are very soft though.

I enjoyed my stay at the Mountain View Motel and Cottages. While the decor is outdated and there is no cell service, it was a very cute little motel. It was quiet, the water pressure in the shower was PHENOMENAL, and the staff was always friendly. We ran into a problem night one and it was fixed the following morning with ease. We would definitely stay again (just not in room 5)!

Staff were extremely friendly. Onsite restaurant. Beautiful location, ease of check in and parking. Our motel was clean and had heat and air condition ( we needed the heat for a bit). I would recommend an update of the wall paper and have an alarm clock and microwave in each motel room. Overall, I would stay here again.

No frills older motel. Average for the area. Needs updating . Small bathroom with crack in shower wall. Window A/C that takes a tall person to operate the controls on top…after a frustrating hunt for them in the first place. ((a sign would be helpful) check out person did not take my suggestion of shower crack or A/C sign as helpful.

Good value for the money. Large room with 2 Queen beds plus a lounging area for sitting to watch TV. Would have given it a 5 star rating if it would have had a refrigerator. We had to go to the restaurant to ask for ice to fill our bucket for cold drinks. Gorgeous views from anywhere in the motel.

Simple Roadside Comfort
This is a simple roadside motel. the decorations made the room feel a bit like something out of the 1950s, but it’s clean and comfortable The bed was comfortable and the shower though old had good water pressure. The air conditioner is a little noisy, and I do wish they had more outlets for device charging The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The view of the mountains was nice
