Very convenient for the right price.
Pros:

It is a great place to come in sleep and move further. It is of the main highway but we did not hear traffic at all. You park right in front of your room and get a code to get into the room. No check in required. It is nicely remodeled and has all the typical motel things in it.

Cons:

Could be a little cleaner, one bed side lamp didn't work and the makeup mirror light in the main room was also not working. So it was nicely remodeled but missing some TLC.

Clean, quality pet accommodations, high pet fees
Pros:

The pet accommodations were high quality: private fenced back yard, larger fenced gravel walk/play area, plenty of poop bags and trash cans around the property, a dog blanket for allowing your dog on the bed or to make a soft spot in the floor for them, and a specific towel for cleaning up water bowl drips or accidents.

Cons:

The Booking.com listing did not mention any pet fees. Upon arrival we discovered the fee was $32 per dog, per night. That seems really high and we were frustrated about not having been given advance notice about it.

Updated and Comfy Motel just outside of Buena Vista
Pros:

This was a great little motel that was affordable and comfortable. Self check-in was nice. Early checkout at 10am. Probably pretty old but was very updated recently with new everything. Comfy beds. Close to Buena Vista and food and stores. Quiet. Small. Good spot.

Cons:

I liked everything about this spot really - will stay again.

I'll be back with my little charcoal grill one cold day to wait out the weather and enjoy the off se
Pros:

This is hands down my favorite place to stop from coast to coast. Mountain views, tiny town vibe. I think i want to move here tbh. The room is great, nice decorations, good heat and air. The back patio and dog area are what sells this place. Very well kept up with, private. Feels like it's your spot. 10/10

Cons:

I like checking in at the desk better than the no contact thing. It was nice pulling right up to the room and not having to check in since they text the door code. I just like asking the desk ppl where they like to hang out is all.
