If your looking for room service or spa treatments this is not the place. But if you want an affordable, clean, safe, nostalgic place, this is it,. After talking to the owner she really cares about the area her motel and more important her guests.

This is an older ground level, attached buildings no frills hotel. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced clean room with no bells and whistles with good space for 1 night or more this is perfect. The inn keeper Janice is very pleasant and always willing to help.

the property was cute. the owner was amazing and sweet. there wasn’t any electrical outlets in the bathroom and no mirror anywhere else- made it impossible to fix your hair unless you had your own. the location was perfect to a local coffee cafe and near the trails. great location

Step back in time to this roadside motel! Decor Needs updates but for location it is great, close to Littleton and the Cannon Tram. Good hiking nearby.

Room was a basic motel room that was exceptionally clean and the beds were comfortable. I think the owner is working hard to improve the property. The office was a bit hard to locate and the property’s street sign showed a different name and then “at Plain Kate’s” which was a bit confusing. It’s located on the main street in town with easy access to I-93.
