On our motorcycle trip from Richmond VA to the Grand Canyon and back, we've had to out-run storms…read moreseveral times (sometimes unsuccessfully!) This was the case today. We had to stop somewhere quick. Not bad, it's an older motel. Appears clean, the shower is great and the front desk lady is nice, offering recommendations for food and few events happening in this town of 7,230 (based on 2023 census). I haven't seen but 2 people so far! Around here you can pay close to $200 ($12.50 per hour) for a room at the Hampton Inn or under $100 ($4.75 per hour) for a decent night's sleep here. I'm happy with my choice.

Both name brand hotels were sold out when I was in the area for work, but I saw "cabin" in the Koa…read morelisting on Kayak. Checked it out and was ready to roll with a cabin, but the very last cabin was listed as a caboose. Chance to live a Gen X childhood dream? Yes, please! This is up there with the high end treehouse hotels that are way beyond my budget. Yes, there's road noise from U.S. 50 and an occasional train toot from across the highway, but the historic novelty of getting to stay in a supremely renovated caboose is so very, VERY worth $120-ish per night. It's well-designed (rich, warm hues - yellow, orange and red - offset by decorative teal and royal blue accents) and appointed, complete with (starting from the caboose of the caboose ): a two-headed rainfall shower, early-mid 1900s elevated toilet basin with the tug chain (like the train driver's whistle cord), stained glass window, saloon doors to get in/out of the bathroom area, water pump styled faucet/sink, a mini-ice box fridge that reminds me of the one at my grandparents' house when I was a kid, matching microwave, mid-size TV, pressed-copper ceiling (real metal; definitely not plastic), raw-edged tree cross-section headboard, queen bed, a hammock (my favorite), an upper-bunk that kiddos will surely fight over, opposite side lower bunk, elevated front- and backward seats (where the brake guy used to sit) and an authentic train door as your entrance. What's basically a back yard (broadside, behind the caboose) has a fire pit and Adirondack-ish chairs, so super-cozy on a cool night (firewood's about $7, which I'm pretty sure is normal at any box store). In short, a totally unique experience that meets or beats the more predictable hotel experience and prices. They are intentionally designed to be consistent, while the caboose was designed to be totally different, but in a really cool way that combines rustic with comfort and modernity. I'm just in town to work, so I can't really speak to the other areas of the campground except this one.

Worker hit the main line, shut off water with no warning so couldn't fill fresh tank. Then sold me fire wood that was pressure treated landscape timber. But here's a change again. The girl just came by as I was typing this and refunded 2 days of no water and the firewood. I am understanding that this is a new owner and he's spending money to improve everything. Let's give him a chance.

All in all, a very wonderful stay at this hotel. We came in for 5 nights during Thanksgiving and…read morethis was the only hotel in town with a working indoor pool, hot breakfast and good reviews. The desk clerks were extremely friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was consistently good and had tasty options. There was not a great selection of fruit, only oranges and red apples, but there were rotating hot options including: egg & cheese foldover 'omelettes' sausage patties, german style breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, ham and mini bagels with egg, cheese and ham.

However, after staying in Room 222 for three nights, September 9-11, 2019, I woke up with numerous bites all over my body. I checked the mattresses and saw nothing to the naked eye, but still got bit. I made the manager aware on the morning of the 12th at my check out around 6:30am, and he said he would investigate. As the hotel was booked by my partner, she contacted them and let them know about it in their "survey". It has been two weeks and they have not gotten back to us. Here are the pictures we offered the hotel staff and some as of late as the bites are still healing. I am still awake most nights itching and putting medicine on my skin. DO NOT STAY HERE.

The second room I got looked like the door got kicked in and it had a big crack in which you could see outside. Overall the rooms were pretty clean, there was a mini rice cake under my bed and a few hairs in the bathtub, but not the worst I've ever seen. Overall the experience was decent, if I needed to come back I could.
