The motel has a lot of charm and a unique atmosphere with converted train cars that make for an interesting stay. However, it feels like some areas need improvement, especially regarding cleanliness and maintenance. Additionally, while the room prices are fair, the overall experience could be greatly enhanced with better upkeep.

We had a cozy stay at this unique place, which is filled with charm and history. The staff was genuinely caring, making our experience memorable. Although we loved the character of the rooms, they did feel a bit dated and could use some updates. The location was a highlight, close to town with plenty to explore, but the surrounding areas did have some concerns around cleanliness.

Rooms

The cottage-like rooms had everything we needed to relax, but they felt reminiscent of motel rooms from the 1960s. Overall, they were clean but could benefit from some modernization.

Staying at Canyon Motel & RV Park was an interesting experience. It's a unique spot, especially with the retrofitted railcars that provide a charming lodging option. While the staff was friendly and offered helpful local recommendations, I encountered issues with the water temperature in the bathroom and found the laundry facilities a bit lacking. Prices were on the higher side, but considering it was Spring Break, it offered reasonably good value compared to other options.

Rooms

The park is well-equipped with hook-ups and a small shop, but the laundry facilities could use more machines given the number of RV spots.

Our stay at this cozy motel was truly a highlight of our trip! We loved the unique experience of sleeping in a refurbished train car, which the kids found especially exciting. The staff was incredibly welcoming and took the time to help us feel at home. While there were a few small oversights, like some cobwebs and the occasional bug, the charm and history of this place more than made up for it. It's a bit pricier than typical motels, but the value you get from the experience is unbeatable.
