The lobby has a brick floor, comfortable couches and a fireplace. The rooms are good-sized and furnished in a contemporary, Southwestern style. Folks who don't light up will be happy to know there is a whole nonsmoking wing, and pets are not allowed in the rooms. The beautiful indoor pool and spa are open year round, and there is a coin laundry. A conference room, fax and copy services are available to business guests.
Next door is a coffee shop.
On the flip side of the coin, here is an older motel that has its own brand of Western charm. Outside it resembles a hotel from the Gold Rush era, with its two-story balcony, white Victorian trim and gray facade. However, the huge and simple bedrooms with their treasured antique furnishings put this motel in its own unique category. The Ranchero Mexican Restaurant is next door. The motel is owned by a couple of missionaries who are currently in China.
