Sugarloaf Mountain Motel

We came across this little motel on our drive through Virginia City and decided to spend the night. One king bed room was available. The room was very small, but clean, the bed was comfortable, hubby asked for an extra blanket and got it, the furniture was very eclectic and it was quiet. It's about a two minute walk into 'downtown'. We asked for ice and got some from a bag in their freezer. The cat in the office/grocery store is hilarious! It was a pleasant stay! I found it a bit on the expensive side.

We just spent the weekend there! The rooms were very clean and cute. A big shout out to Candance and Norma the nicest women ever. Sugarloaf is our go to motel.

Positive: The old style charm and location. Negative: It was excellent, it just needed a bar of soap in bathroom.

This is a cozy little motel. Staff was great, room 1 was a nice room. Would recommend staying if your in virgina city.

Was there for my birthday in January. Very sweet owners. Very warm and accommodating. Definitely will be back in Spring. Also, very pet friendly.

We LOVE this little gem! Beds are super comfy, free coffee in the morning, and talk about LOCATION! We absolutely love being at the top of the hill away from all the commotion of Hot August Nights in Virginia City!!! The pictures show our section of the motel, with it's cute gingerbread trim, and the view out across the street to the valley below!

This was our first time here and definitely won’t be our last! Amazing views, wild horses right out front. The coziness atmosphere and this place has so much charm. The family that owns and runs this wonderful stay are the most charming people you will meet in town. They even offer a golf cart drive into town, which is great but not needed since we are so close. We asked to stay in room 1 as we heard it was haunted. We definitely has a couple encounters and it was friendly and exciting rather than scary. If you choose room 1 just know it is an old building and very original decor to fit the theme. The other rooms are updated and we will most likely stay in one of those next time. All beds were covered in lovely quilts and full size. Which accommodated us just fine. Water pressure is great, there is a refrigerator and microwave in the rooms and air conditioning works amazing. There is a full market in the office with so many amenities and got coffee in the morning. The Cat, Smokey was so cute and friendly and Candace and Emma were very caring and made sure our needs were met the whole stay.

The location of this place is perfect to explore downtown. Emma was wonderful and. very friendly and welcoming. I was a tad nervous at first because of it being a motel, but this place exceeded my expectations by far! It's just the quaint cozy to be excited and a nice change up from our usual chain hotels we have been using. The bedding was very clean and cozy. Our AC worked perfectly. I would stay again 100% to enjoy the company as well as this cute and quaint place! Good job guys 👍👍

We came into Virgina City spontaneously and weren't sure if we were gonna stay the night or go home. Marcela from the mark twain bar recommended this motel to us and I'm so glad she did. It was amazing! Quiet! Updated and stylish. The pricing was excellent too! Thank you so much and we can't wait to come back!

I've been meaning to write this review to thank the staff at Sugarloaf. We made a girls trip out there in January and felt so safe staying here. I think about how they really saved us from disaster. It happened to snow a lot over night when it had not the whole time we were there. As we were pulling out and going to head back to Reno via Geiger Grade Rd. they came running out to stop us. The man said please if you want to live and it will only add like 15 to 20 more minutes to your travel head down the opposite was down Gold Hill to Lincoln Hwy 50. That day the weather got so bad, we saw so many cars end up in embankments, and we even drifted a bit in Reno. All I still think about is how very high of a possibility we could have skidded on Geiger. So thank you Sugarloaf for really looking out for your guest especially ones not used to those conditions. As for those wanting a review on the ghost said to haunt this motel. We did have an odd experience. The TV had been on decided to get ready for bed and upon deciding to turn off the TV and we could not get it to turn off. We kept pressing the remote control off button and it wouldn't work. We chalked it up to maybe dead batteries. We found the manual button on the TV kept pressing it and it would not turn off. The way the TV is set up we could not get to cord to unplug it. We tried for what seem like at least 15 minutes. We gave up and since it was past midnight we did not want to wake up anyone, so we figured we just sleep with the TV on. Then about 20 minutes later it turned off all by itself. We were a bit freaked out but decided not to mess with the TV. Went to bed and the next morning curiosity got the best of me. I figured we were checking out so if the remotes battery were actually dead we could tell the motel. The TV turned on and off with no issues from the control. So of course we had to try to the manual button on the TV and that also worked with no issues. We were so shocked and perplexed about why it had not worked the night before. Could it have been spirits playing tricks on us. I could not say for sure but it definitely was very odd!

Best stay I've had in Virginia City. Conveniently located, friendly warm staff, and AC at a reasonable rate. Highly recommend and would stay again.

We are so happy we found this motel! Incredibly clean and nicely updated. The staff is super friendly; we literally visited them and chatted for over an hour daily. Great little store with fresh coffee in the morning and a guest greater named Smokey ( the cat ). They even have a shuttle to take you into town and rides back, since it is half a mile walk to all of the happenings in town, which is actually nice and creates a quiet scene. I heard and read of some ghost haunting there and oddly enough we awoke to an open door one night, but we slept right through the "encounter" due to the ridiculously comfortable mattress. Super cool spot and will stay there from now on when we visit!

So my buddies and I did a rode trip on our Harleys back in June and this was one of our stops for a couple of days. The owners were really nice and helpful, they opened there store when ever we needed something and just pleasant people to be around. The rooms were clean but kinda small, we spent most of the time outside anyway. The place is on the edge of town down the hill so you will do a little walking to go to shop and visit the bars. But all in all a good place to stay.

I changed my review because I left a pair of shoes Saturday, I called them today because I loved those shoes my favorites ones, the guy who answer the phone was rude, he said I don't know if you left them and I said to him I know I left them there because was the only motel that I stayed in. His answer was after you gave us a bad review you want us to save your shoes, well let me tell you sir, that doesn't have anything to do with my shoes if you motel didn't meet my expectations I don't have to lie, the room smelled so bad. And it was so small. The blanket was so old, only one small window that room for 2 persons not enough.

A very cute, unpretentious little motel. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Charlie, the owner, gives free rides on his golf cart, which came in handy, as my friends were all staying at the other end of town. About a 10 minute walk to the Bucket of Blood. Room is small, but it was just me, and worked well. Even has a small refrigerator and microwave. Love a room with a bathtub too. I won't hesitate to stay here again!

We stayed here with our 2 small pups, the room was clean, cozy and we loved it! Right on the main street walking distance to everything . The owner was really awesome amd sweet. We will definitely be back!! Would highly recommend.

Absolutely charming!!!! My fiancé and I stayed here for 2 nights and could t have enjoyed ourselves more. Virginia City is a town filled with history, charm, and charities. This motel represents everything g we love about this town. The owners are a hard working and hospitable! I love the pride they have taken in restoring and updating this little place. We stayed in room 10, which had an absolutely amazing shower. We will absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend this little gem to others visiting this little town. Oh yes.... The free coffee in the morning and the convenience of the little store was a huge bonus!

I visited Virginia City for their Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony this year and stayed at this most convenient motel just walking distance from the city center. The staff and owners were absolutely amazing, real, and genuine people! Charlie even came out to show us his extravagant Christmas lights that were in tune with music pumping from a radio station! Full of cheer and felt like home. Highly recommend staying here and will be where we stay when we return.

I absolutely LOVE this place. The rooms are clean and very simple but the hospitality is amazing! Charlie and Candice are the nicest and most genuine people you could meet. We were invited to a bbq and enjoyed some local festivities. Watching kids run around barefoot, friends old & new and laughter in the air brought me back to the good old days and the way things should always be. We were going to stay one night but it turned into 3. We were neighbors with a local gentleman named Chuck and he was the coolest. I found myself going outside to smoke more often just to hang out and chat with him as we watched the sunset or the sunrise. I plan to make another visit as soon as my smokers cough clears up so I can start all over again. The Sugarloaf is the epitome of true Virginia City hospitality.

I really don't even know where to start on how amazing this stay was for us. Not just the hotel accommodation, but the amazing family running the place. Upon arrival we went into the office to check in. We were greeted by Candace who is the owner. She literally made us feel like family immediately. She was so unbelievably friendly and sweet and welcoming...it immediately started our stay off on the right foot! She gave us all the information on the hotel and the paranormal activity and even let us change rooms to room 1 ( the most haunted room) and let us check in a bit early! We grabbed our bags and went to the room! Let me tell you........ the entire room was SPOTLESS !!!!!!!! you could eat off the floor in there. We stay at so many hotels (chains, casinos, and everything in between) but this was so refreshing to have such a warm welcome by the owners and such a clean room! We've paid a lot more for so much less. They also have a shuttle service so they can take you up and down if you have mobility issues which was such a nice edition and so thoughtful. If you are looking for an amazing place to stay with the kindest people and the cleanest rooms.. look no further and stay here!!! Support our locally owned and family operated businesses because they really are a dying breed. My husband and I couldn't stop talking about how nice the entire family was.... It really made the stay for us. Thanks Sugar Loaf Motel for making our Anniversary do memorable!

We decided to visit Virginia City, NV on a whim without hotel reservations. As we are looking for a place to stay, we saw this motel and stopped to ask if they had vacancies. Michelle, the owner, is the warmest, most accommodating, and welcoming person ever; she right away gave us the info and checked us in. The room was clean; it had it's own AC and refrigerator, cable tv and WiFi is provided. There are benches outside each room to enjoy an evening drink or a smoke since the rooms are non-smoking. There is a small market in the office well stocked with snacks, toiletries, soft drinks and juices as well as beer and wine, and ice. Each morning, there are complimentary sweet breads and coffee. This place's locations is great if you you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the business area, but close enough to walk there. The view to The Valley is awesome; as evening is falling the sky changes colors, nighttime is very quiet, street lights are original street lamps but with electricity now, and since the lights are not extremely bright one can enjoy a starry sky. Because of it's awesome view to The Valley, the sunrise is quite a sight to see.

This review is a little late but we we spent a couple days at this motel back in May of 2018...so about 9 months ago. We really enjoyed our stay at this little motel. We've since added them on our Facebook and enjoy their posts on their as well. They constantly keep us updating with what's going on at their motel and in Virginia City. I understand it's recently been acquired by new owners. And if the Facebook posts are any indication it looks like they're doing a great job with it. They've been keeping up the posts as well. Their post of snow this winter have been awesome! The rooms are small yet comfortable and clean. They had a small tv as well as a microwave. The check in office was also sort of a small convenience store. So if you needed to get some munchies to eat while watching TV they've got you covered. We hope to visit again in the not too distant future and this will definitely be wear we'll stay.

I come to Street Vibrations Biker Rally every year and The Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel is my home away from home. You wake up and open your door to a beautiful view. My room is super clean. I have a parking space for my bike right in front of my door. Everyone here is super friendly. I make a ton of new friends every time I come here. It's a great base of operations. You can walk to everywhere in town. It's super affordable. If you feel like going for a ride or a drive then you're close to Reno and Carson City. You will absolutely love the owners Candace and Charlie. If there's anything you need, see something, say something. If it's reasonable and within their power to get if for you they will do it. Have a great time while you're here.

I stayed here years ago and loved its cutesy decor . We wanted to potentially catch paranormal activity , though we weren't expecting to catch anything. I set up my small video camera and videoed the entire night from the night stand in front of the beds . After looking through footage for hours the next day, I found a clip where an orb stretches out from my friends ear and around her body until it disappeared -- which is interesting, because it happened right after we thought we had heard something at the door. Kind of cool, regardless of what your beliefs are ‍ 10/10 recommend for a spooky cozy stay.

First of all, this in not a Hilton. It is a piece of Virginia City history, and if you stay, you will become part of it. The rooms are not spacious, but clean and comfortable. My room sported a beautiful new shower, brand new rug, a very comfortable bed, and a ton of remarkable California history within a short walk away. The proprietors will go out of their way to make your stay hassle free. Make it a point to meet and visit with Chuck, the permanent resident who is a gem, and will share his memories with you. Pretty good coffee and pastry each morning complimentary. Highly recommended!

Virginia City isn't rich with 'Marts', mini or otherwise. If we were in search of a snow globe with Mark Twain sitting at a slot machine, we wouldn't have needed to walk the length of C Street looking for a five and/or dime. Being struck with a digestive crisis, we came to the store in need of over-the-mini-counter relief. The owner zoomed up to us in her cart and did her absolute best to help. Upon discovery that the antacid shelf was pinched out, she even ran into the house to offer us medicine from her personal medicine cabinet. Alas, she couldn't give us an opened container for reasons of safety and the like so we went on our way. In hindsight, a town where every eatery boasts a "world famous" frankfurter probably goes through a lot of stomach medicine.

We called to make reservations and Candace was amazing! She was very attentive and made sure that she put my friends and ourselves right next door to each other. The rooms have been updated and are cute and cozy and extremely clean. We were going to be arriving late Friday evening and the staff made sure they were able to accommodate our late arrival. The store is well stocked and has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Candace and Heather were always helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying at the hotel if you are in the area. Great job ladies! Thank you for making our stay so awesome!

Reviewed: august 31, 2019 Sugarloaf Mountain Motel & Mini Mart (Awesome) !!! The Owners & Staff are Very Friendly, Experienced & Knowledgeable. I Rate This Motel 5 Stars Plus !!! On 09-15-19 to 09-17-19 I stayed at the Sugarloaf Mountain Motel & Mini Mart. The Motel & Mini Mart had been recently remodeled with new Owners (Charlie & Candace Pitts). The Housekeeper was Norma. Norma is the Best of the Best. They provided a in room refrigerator, microwave, and free WIFI. They also provide free coffee & pasteries in the morning for their guests. There was plenty of free parking & air conditioning & heat. It is only a 5 minute walk to Historical Downtown Virginia City, NV. They have 12 motel units & the price was very reasonable. The room was very nice, very clean and the Sugarloaf Mountain Motel & Mini Mart Owners & Staff are Fantastic. I will definitely be back and Highly & recommend the Sugarloaf Mountain Motel & Mini Mart in Historical Virginia City, NV !!! Respectfully Yours, Gary Dederich Reno, NV Note: This Motel & Staff are Above Reproach. This place is 'Paradise' !!! I Stayed in August 2019.

What a charming little place! Clean, affordable and great location. Walking distance to the shops and bars is super convenient. Candace and Charlie are doing a fantastic job running this place. Looking forward to my next visit

Other reviewers must be fake. We made a booking here and wanted to explore the area. We are used to staying in older and small hotels. They told us they would be out, but would leave the doors open and keys in the room. No problem there, small town and friendly. We showed up, checked the rooms. Someone had been in one room smoking, the room was full of cigarette smoke, even though there is a no smoking sign in the room. A sketchy guy was there, no affiliation with the hotel. We decided there was something very off and there could be a personal safety issue here and left. We tried to ask for a refund. Talked to the owner. He was very rude, yelled at me, told me I was lying. We like small town hotel rooms and visit a lot of old west areas that don't have big hotels, so this is not a review from someone used to staying at Hilton's.

Really enjoyed this place me and my fiancé went to get away for the night it was so cute and cozy and had the most beautiful views. I enjoyed the service the owner is so sweet. We will be recommending them for our guests for our wedding this spring.

Great place, amazing owners and great price. The adorable family who owns this motel were super hospitable. My friends and I stayed last Veterans Day and I forgot to write a review. Better late than never! I'll be returning for Halloween weekend!

Great place to stay in Virginia City, clean nicely decorated rooms quiet close enough to town to walk yet enough away. Michelle and Jim were great hosts always greeted us with smiles and well wishes on our days adventures. Great valley views and wild horses and deer practically at our room door. We found our goto place in Virginia City. While there eat at the Cafe Del Rio just a little North of the motel great food nice people.

Stayed here one night on way back to California stayed in updated room very warm and cozy beautiful view of the mountains made reservation by phone owners lovely dog friendly and had a small store for essentials free coffee and danish in the morning ck in 2 pm suited us great ck out 10 am free parking shower was amazing had a microwave and refrigerator would stay again staff very friendly thank you fir a lovely stay stay

Recently I stayed here with my family for 2 nights and I definitely recommend this motel. The owners are very nice and friendly. The room is pretty clean also have a small refrigerator and microwave.

What a quaint little place. The rooms are cozy and clean. If you are looking for all of the modern conveniences go somewhere else. If you are looking for quaint and sweet...this is your place. The staff was great. Comfy beds too. This town is amazing to explore. Enjoy!

During my Trip from Santa Rosa To Reno and down to Virginia City, I came across Jim And Michele the owners of the Sugarloaf Mountain Motel, and I have to say I disagree with some of these posts. Im retired Military , out on a Harley with a white Beard, They had a room available and it was "Haunted" Though I had zero experience with Ghost or miners just the Fact I was treated with respect and was offered a room for the night to stay as a traveler away from home and family Jim and Michele made me feel more part of there family while away from mine. I will recommend this motel to all of my Friends and Family, and maybe change there minds about selling, However if not, Jim I wish you a great relaxing time on the Harley (which ever Harley you Purchase) and if you are ever in Santa Rosa Please drop me a Note. rnoelm1@gmail.com Many thanks again and happy trails Ross Mitchell

The hospitality in this motel was amazing!! The family that's runs this hotel was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and enthusiastic. They make you feel at home. My daughter and her daughter played the entire two days we were there. They allowed us a late checkout so we could go enjoy the town. Very informational and helpful in getting to know the area. They provide a book of attractions and restaurants. We definitely would reccomend and will be returning for fourth of July! The views are amazing and the history of the town is super interesting!

Just really a place for the 3 "S" Chit shower and shave. AC was loud through the night. Not a big fan of getting charged $3 for a big bag of Ice. Should be free if your a paying customer? It is clean. Parking a little bit of a challenge. Nice owners..

Lovely little hotel. Cozy mountain like rooms. The owner was very nice very accommodating. Price was great. Will definitely stay again. Over 140 years urs old Plus found out it's where some of the miners used to stay and a lil haunted. Google it.

We stayed here for the annual Rocky Mountain oyster festival. It is just up the hill from all the bars and shops. The owners are Super nice and so helpful we wanted to hit all the bars and were worried about the walk back, they gave us their phone number drove us and picked us up when we were done. They have a little store with pretty much everything you need. Rooms are quaint but clean and comfortable.

The room was clean and complete. The owners were friendly and accommodating, gladly helped me find my around. The well stocked mini mart was a real plus. I always need to find SOMETHING when I travel. They were great.

Going to Virginia city fir the first time was like going into the twilight zone, in the best way!! We stayed st the sugar loaf for two nights and I was sooo pleased with the hospitality! I had my young one with me and there was not a shortage of toys and the cutest little girl just about her age to play with. Charlie and Candice Mae sure we were set and that I had a full pot of coffee ready for me in the afternoon. It was a super cozy hotel within walking distance of everything! Good food, and great people!

Inexpensive, basic lodging. Very friendly staff with clean functional rooms. Parking a little tight. Close enough to walk downtown but not in the thick of the bustling tourist attraction.

Nice motel. Close to town and very friendly owners. Biker friendly. A little tight for storage but manageable. Will be coming back again.

Clean, comfortable and possibly haunted... But what isn't in VC? The owners were incredibly accommodating and provided great service. The queen room was on the small side but none the less, authentic! Everything we needed was there and the rate per night was affordable.

This place has been taken over by new owners recently (last year or so) and they are great people. we have a shop in VC and I come here on the weekends to get my morning coffee with my daughters, its an excellent place. I would stay here if I needed a room for the night/weekend. great customer service :)

This place was fantastic! The owners were so friendly and personable. I really appreciated how they tried to get to know us and asked how we enjoyed our days in Virginia City. The room was purple! My favorite color! Each room is different and quite cute and quirky. The place is clean. It is a little small and the shower spout was short but hey I still got a shower! Overall that doesn't really bother me because the vibe was still cool and the owners were so amazing! I'm definitely staying there on my next trips up there.

This is one of the cutest Motels. The owner is so nice and friendly. I had my two dogs with me and they never made a big deal about it. Room was clean, decorated so cute. Very simple and charming. it was so peaceful being on one floor nobody above. Just an overall, well priced Motel. If I ever get back there, I will make sure to stay.

After a 12 hour drive it was very nice to be greeted by the owners as if we were family coming to visit. Friendly doesn't even describe it, family is more like it. The room is just right for our family...they were able to accommodate 9 of us with 3 rooms. The "Market" has all the "Oooppps we forgot" items...including the adult beverages Going into town is just a short walk away and everything is there...food, souvenirs, gambling and beverages. This was for sure a good choice for our family. Thanks for reading SanFam4 - Azusa Chapter

Compact & comfortable accommodation. Everything was clean & tidy, bed was comfortable. Bathroom had fresh towels, soaps, makeup remover wipes & hand lotion etc, nice touch! Great view at sunrise, sat outside on rocking chairs. The owner was very friendly & chatty. Lovely place for an overnight stay.

I called and was trying to book the entire hotel for a wedding, Yes I evidentally did call after hours (which are not listed) surprisingly my call was answered by a very grumpy, clearly agitated man. When I was asked what days I was told they'd be closed that week (ok) but when I asked about other hotels in the are I got a very gruff and rude it's 3:00 in the morning were not even open I don'tbknow, after apologizing profusely I was huffed and then hung up on. I'm sorry, but if your not open don't't answer and surely don't't be rude to someone offering to book every room in the hotel! I've booked here before and asked similar questions at the same hours and never been treated s poorly. This WAS my favorite place to stay in Virginia City (as I spend about a night to 3 every 4 or so months) I can honestly say never again!!!

Very Very nice experience!! The owners are so sweet!.. My cousin and I didn't realize that the sidewalks roll up at 5ish, that included restaurants. We went back to the Motel and the lady owner was outside. We told her that we were starving!!! she was soo sweet and called around for us and found that the Gold Hill Hotel was open for casual dining. The owners are wonderful. Their dispositions are great. The room were were in was what they referred to as "the girlie room", it was very nice and the beds were super comfortable. My next visit, I will surely stay again. Thanks to them for a wonderful stay!!!. Kelli =)

Absolute Paranormal Investigations of Sacramento just had a marvelous stay at Michelle and Jim's motel while we investigated in Virginia City. Their staff was extremely efficient and the rooms were spotless clean. Miss Norma took fantastic care of us and our room needs. Yes, the building is older and it's historic but that added to charm. Yes, some of our group had experiences of the abnormal. I personally had a cat with a jiggle bell at the door twice and of course when I looked nothing was there. So miner's aren't the only spirits that visit. My husband enjoyed the early morning sun on the front lounge with all the hot coffee he wanted. It was so relaxing that after the group left for Sacramento, we stayed an extra day. Sugarloaf was affordable, relaxing and historical charming. Katie of APIS

If I could give this place no stars I would! I showed up on my day of check in, the VERY rude man at the desk got an attitude and snapped at my grandpa. I responded to him with woohoo don't treat my grandfather that way. And continue on with my check in... The man then wanted to talk to me about my respond to how he treated my grandpa and I was in no way concerned with his excuses so when I did not LOOK at him, he started to yell at me and tell me I NEEDED to look at him when he is talking to me. At this point I was done being passive and replied to this man with you are not my father so do not speak to me that way. (I would have found another place to stay but the whole town was booked out and I was here for my moms wedding the next day). I got the keys to my room and parked. The next day I was stopped in the parking lot and told I needed to park my car on the street because his parking is not big enough for me to park my car here ( I drive a Chrysler 300) that is a normal size car and last I check I did not pay 350 dollars for 3 nights to park my car on the road! This man has been nothing but rude and inconsiderate my entire stay. The lady his wife is amazing and sweet I actually feel bad for her, I don't understand how she can be okay with him treating people that way. I am a professional person I work at a Dr office and for customer service at a huge electronics chain, I would NEVER in a million years treat a patient or customer in the manor this man treated me and my grandpa.

The best motel in Virginia City!! We arrived a couple hours early for our reservation, but Michelle greeted us right away & we were able to check in. We stayed in room #5, the Lavender room. The room is small but nicely decorated and very clean. The motel is located close to Fourth Ward School and downtown Virginia City. Michelle greeted us every time we left our room and arrived back to the motel. She made sure we had everything we needed. I mentioned I was cold our first night there, and she brought me another blanket to keep me warm. How sweet is that? We told her we like the make up cloths, and she brought us a few more. Her husband, Jim, even let my friend borrow a screwdriver. Every morning, there is FREE hot coffee available in the little store/office located at the motel. My friend would walk over to get our coffee in the early morning, in her pajamas. The store sells snacks, liquor, beverages and many other items travelers may need. The motel is located across from a valley, where you can sit and enjoy a perfect sunrise every morning! There is seating outside the motel, where you can watch the sunset, have a snack, or smoke a cigarette. We were in Virginia City for the Virginia City Paracon, which is for ghost hunting. Michelle proudly shared with us a few photos she has of orbs, etc,. taken from some of the rooms at the motel. She also shared with us some stories, and showed us a couple of the rooms reported to be haunted. Sadly, Michelle & Jim plan to sell the motel property. I hope the motel will be sold to another couple who will take care of it & love it as much as them, and be as hospitable as Michelle & Jim. The only tiny negative thing: cars enter one way into the motel property. There is no other outlet, so you have to then back out of the parking lot. If the parking lot is empty, you can turn around (like I did a few times) and exit forward. It is nice to know that Jim patrols the property, and the motel owners had no problem with us returning to our rooms at 1 or 2 a.m. I plan to stay here again in the future.

The service was VERY friendly and sweet! We truly enjoyed our stay and the downtown area. The room we stayed in was adorable and intimate. The theme was incredibly cute! The owners would give us advice on where to eat and what to see. It was like being a part of the family. Plus they managed to get us into the back of the Ostrich and Camel Races to pet the camels! I think it's a great idea to have a market in their motel office to provide guests with anything they need. We definitely hope we can come back next year!
