Pros:

It was a fine little motel. Super old and run down. There are cracks everywhere and a shower wouldn’t ever touch. My biggest issue is that they charge the same as a hotel like holiday inn with indoor access, good bathrooms, and free breakfast. You can’t charge hotel prices while being a motel with zero amenities. There wasn’t even an open front office.

It was a cute little place to stay for the night after watching a high-school football game. They communicated well with us and we didn't have any issue. Rooms were clean.

Pros:

I love the improvements the new owners have made at the Smokey Bear Motel. I stay there often. The rooms are clean and they are working to remodel the older rooms. The cooling and heating systems work very well, AND I wish I could take the mattress home with me! Very comfortable.
