Quick stop in Salmon

It was a last minute decision to get a room. Our group was flying into the Middle Fork of the Salmon early the next morning. Great parking for our vehicles with rafting gear on trailers.

Booked last minute stay for my daughter, her 10-yr-old son, my partner and myself (room with two-queen beds) and found accommodations very satisfying.

Almost everything was amazing. Our only issue was the showers, they took forever to get warm and never got hot.

We had a large room and large bathroom so it made it easy to maneuver in my wheelchair. It was called a Senior room. Larger fridge and freezer, table with 2 chairs and little sofa. Service was good. Checkin was great.

It was ok. Someone sprayed perfume or something after cleaning and it was overwhelming. The walls were thin, the futon broken and dirty and the bed was lumpy. Not worth the money

Check in staff inexperienced and indifferent. General condition of room and property poor. In the morning I walked across the street to get coffee before continuing my travels and when I returned my tool kit had been stolen from my motorcycle. It was not even in plain site..wrapped up in the cover and bungeed down!

Room was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Traveling as a single gal, I felt safe staying there...I would stay there again.

Amazingly clean, very basic

For a very basic motel I almost never find one as clean as this was. Seriously, cleaner than many modern suite hotel my company puts me on business trips.

The rooms themselves aren’t bad for being the “cheapest” place to book. They got rid of their breakfast (it wasn’t much last time we stayed but it was something), the pool is FREEZING. We really just didn’t enjoy our stay as much this year as we did last year so we will most likely book elsewhere next year.

Making reservations was simple so that we arrived late to a nice clean room. Even though the place is older it shows care in all areas of the motel. A quiet night sleep left us ready to complete our road trip. It was horribly hot and the air conditioner was great!
