Happy stay at the Happy Salmon
A last minute booking turned into a very pleasant stay. The owner was very friendly and the hotel comfort/cleanliness were both excellent. Very well maintained. Happy Salmon is located next to the highway but road noise was not a concern. I would definitely stay again and am glad I found this gem.

Nice motel by the highway.
Very nice motel with lots of space. Older but well maintained. Seems most rooms are actually more of a suite with a separate dining and tv area.

Great spot for solo traveller passing through.
Excellent spot for a quick overnight passing through. Very clean and comfortable, could hear the folks in the next room a little bit but not enough to be disruptive. Would definitely stay again.
