“This basic motel sits at a busy intersection, a practical choice for Sand Dunes visits and railway adventures. Clean rooms offer king beds, although a missing mirror might complicate morning routines, and while breakfast aims for hot options, staffing seems stretched. I think it balances affordability with location.”

Finding a spot was never an issue. Even during a snowstorm, the lot was cleared overnight.
