They are working to update the property. Just be aware this is an old road side motel. Our only complaint is the room smelled of mildew/mold. The staff gave us a small fan to air out the room which helped along with open windows and doors. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and we did get a good nights sleep. Lovely walking path just outside your door.

What we enjoyed about staying at this property was the character and age of the property. It is an old structure that has been well maintained. It was very quiet which made it easy to sleep. The one issue that we had was that we couldn't get the remotes for the TV to work and were even unable to watch our ROKU; luckily my husband brought his computer so we had some form of entertainment.

We chose the Big Horn Motel after reading the excellent reviews on Expedia..Reviews were accurate and I'm glad we chose it. Located on main street, not far from downtown businesses, diners and a couple bars. This is a VERY clean "old school" motel. I think some other reviews described it as a mom & pop business. This was a nice stay vs a chain hotel. If I had to say ANYTHING negative it was the 10 am checkout time. But it got us up and going. :) Otherwise i have nothing negative. Trudy was very nice and answered a couple questions I had and informed me about the live music that was going on downtown. Would definitely stay here again.

Older style motel but well kept. Owner was super friendly and nice. The room was small but worked fine for the one night we were there. Worst part was the main street in front of the motel was completely tore up from construction with dirt flying everywhere, obviously not the fault of the motel. We would stay again if ever passing through the area.
