Great stay!
We had an amazing stay. Great location and very quick walk to Heavenly Village. The staff is very courteous and helpful. The room was clean and spacious and we will definitely stay here again.

Nice place with room for improvement
This is a clean and well run motel, and the location is great — very convenient to Heavenly. Free parking is a plus. I would be happy to stay there again, but the rooms and bathrooms could use some updating.

6/10 Good

“Health and Safety” waiver overkill
Overall, a convenient location and friendly staff in an old hotel. I found it hilarious/ridiculous that they had a “health and safety” waiver to sign at check-in. Stating that you don’t have a cough or fever. So odd, what would they do if you did have a “cough.” Throw you in jail? Fine you? Initiate contact tracing on your bedding? It’s winter 2025, probably time to retire that silliness. Otherwise, no issues.

2/10 Poor

No Water
We awoke to there being no water in our room. After waiting 30 minutes we had to leave and could not shower or get ready. Apparently the hotel was doing a scheduled plumbing improvement. This room should not have been rented, or at least we should have been informed so we could have chosen to stay somewhere else.

2/10 Poor

Below average
This property is mis-rated hotels.com. The stars should be less for quality of property. The walls are very thin, the beds are very uncomfortable. Bring your own pillow if you don’t want to sleep on a very flat pillow. The refrigerator was so loud and the bathroom was all patched up. It is a very old property, very basic motel. Pool and hot tub are currently closed. The only thing going for this place is the location, walking distance to everything.

Great stay for a great price!
I booked this room for a quick ski trip at Heavenly. The inn is a 5 min walk to the gondola and many restaurants/bars. While you could tell the room was outdated, it was clean and a great place to stay while skiing the mountain. Will definitely be going back.

Great stay
My stay was great. Comfortable enough bed, heat worked, the room had a microwave and a fridge which was convenient. The Inn itself was situated perfectly within a short walk of the mountain, food, shops, etc.

Great deal a block from the gondola!
This is my go-to place when skiing at Heavenly. It's quiet (off the main drag), comfortable, clean (daily room service!), and a convenient 1-block walk to the gondola and several restaurants within a block or 2. Free parking, too.
