Motel locates 2-3 blocks away from Harveys, Harrahs, Horrizon hotels, and major shopping center.  Small swimming pool was empty.  There are four parking spots in the front and more in the back.

Prices vary.  Quality is okay and inexpensive if you rent it during off season, which includes fridge, microwave, tv, and internet.  You will need to ask for the code to get web access.  Rooms are spacious.  Bathroom has a window for ventiliation, while the long, sink counter is outside.

Asian lady  was sweet, welcoming, considerate, and informative.  She allowed me to check out the room first while I was still shopping around.  She was so thoughtful and gave us the downstairs room to accommodate our mountain bikes.  She also brought us doughnuts for breakfast.  She gets five stars for her patience, warm introduction, wonderful service, and outgoing personality.

It was worth $49/night for Sat. and Sun.  I was happy she matched Horrizon Hotel deal.

Stayed here on Saturday night for $66.

Definitely not two blocks from the Casino or the Heavenly Gondola.  There is no way I would walk there from the Casinos when it gets dark, especially after winning all the $$ from the Casinos.  As far as the walk to the Gondola...not a chance..especially in ski boots.

Pros:  Shuttle to Heavenly is short walk down the road.  Owners are very accomodating and nice.
Cons:  Probably only 4 parking spots available, long walk to the casinos/gondolas, definitely old and in dire need of updating, dark at night, Heater not working, room is poorly insulated, small tv, etc.

Would not stay here again, unless, everything else is booked.
