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.

Quaint motel.

It is an older motel and quaint! It fit its name, Smokey Bear motel! The room and the beds were clean, had extra towels already in room, water in frig, snacks in a welcoming bowl, and a coffee pot! We were there for 2 nights for a family graduation!
