Don’t let the small motel label fool you, this place is reasonably priced and wonderfully maintained by a loving couple who take pride in their business and love for their customers. We highly recommend this place if they have rooms available!!
Top notch!!

Our room and bathroom were nice and very clean but rather small, with little place to put our stuff.
We had one queen bed with two night stands with built-in USB and AC sockets (very convenient!) and two lamps above them. There was also a small table with two chairs, but it was a bit dark there because there were no other lamps in the room. A kitchen nook had a fridge and another table with a microwave on it, so not much space was left.

More lamps and a place to put a suitcase, clothes, toiletries, etc. would make it a more comfortable place to stay. We were rather satisfied anyway.

Parking was easy, in front of the room. The property looked nice and well maintained.
The lady who is the host/owner was very nice and exceptionally helpful.

The hotel has a very '70s roadside Motel vibe. Parking is very easy. The owners actually came into the parking lot and graded us when we got there. The Bed was Pure Heaven with two different choices of pillow thickness for side and back sleepers. The room and bathroom were clean with great shower pressure. There are many good places to eat within 10 minute drive.

This was easily the best check-in experience I've ever had at a motel. The owners greeted us and gave us a choice between two rooms. They were very helpful. And the beds are all new memory foam mattresses. This is a big deal for me since I need at least a medium-firm mattress for my back, and these beds were great! Would certainly stay here again.

I love this place and I stay here every time I need a motel in the area. The hosts are fabulous and friendly and anxious to please all of their guests. When was the last time a motel proprietor actually came out to greet you when you arrived at a lodging? I prefer family-run motels over big corporate chains where rude people slam their doors at all times of the day and night and children run up and down the halls. The room is always clean and I'm never afraid to touch surfaces wondering if they were really actually wiped down. Enjoy your stay!

How many motels know you by name? The couple who own and operate the motel are amazingly warm and hospitable. By the second day, they greeted us by name. My wife got a hug when we left. They were so eager to assist us we almost felt guilty to ask anything. They were excellent guides to things to see, places to eat, etc.

The motel is older, maybe 50's? The rooms are smallish, The owners are clearly putting money into rehabbing it bit by bit. But the place was spotless, the mattress top quality, and all the amenities were there - fridge, microwave, soaps/shampoo, table and chairs, wifi.

It's not a large place, so I'm guessing if you want to stay there, make your reservation early.

For us, this was such a pleasant stay that it is hard to imagine staying anywhere else.

Adorable lil getaway

The reviews for this place were all really good, so we thought we would give it a try. So glad we did!! A cute and humble lil family owned type of motel. Super comfy bed…..I like my bed on the firm side and this was perfect. The room was clean, and bright and the colors were inviting. In the room, besides the bed and a small table….there was also two nightstands, a small fridge, a microwave, a small 5 cup coffee pot and a portable AC unit, which we didn’t need. There was a wall mounted flat screen TV over the table. The bathroom wasn’t huge, it’s modest but it was bright and clean, with a powerful fan and the shower was perfect. Even tho it’s an older place,’I really liked the intimate feel of the place and how welcoming and accommodating the owners are. I plan on staying there again in the not too distant future.

I used this as my base to go visit Olympic National Park. The access was very convenient. The motel reminded me of old-style motels I stayed in when I was young. The owners are very nice & helpful in recommendations for food & places to visit. The room was clean & the bed was comfy. It had a table, nice size fridge & usb charging plugs. The property is older & the paint job/tile work isn’t great, but for the price, this place was great. If you want a spa-type resort, this probably isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay I highly recommend. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Im not usually the type to bother with leaving reviews...
But From the moment i arrived, and the owner greeted me with a smile in the parking lot and walked me into the office, i was instantly knew i made the right choice!
Checking in was quick and simple. She was very helpful and informative. She answered any questions without me needing to ask them. I could tell that its important to her that her guests enjoy their stay. She was very sweet and kind.
When i entered the room, i immediately noticed how clean and tidy it was. Although it was probably the hottest day of the summer so far, the room was surprisingly comfortable temperature. There was instructions for the tv remotes, and wifi passwords clearly posted. The tv was a roku tv so i was able to connect to my streaming accounts. The shower was great with hot water that never ran out. The bed was amazing. Very comfortable, soft sheets and pillows.
Dont let the cheap rates fool you, they could easily charge as much if not more than all the other motels in the area. I highly recommend and I look forward to coming back!! :)

Shiny is a family run operation. The property is older and the owners are making improvements. The room was super clean and the foam beds are new and very comfortable. We enjoyed the pavilion where a fire pit exists. The towels were the best we have used in some time. They shared some of their plants with the wife for her garden. We would recommend Shiny and would stay there again. No breakfast, but that is within 5 miles (Denny's, etc.) Very quiet.

The beds were so comfortable, bedding was soft, it's spotlessly clean and quiet. Our unit even had a kitchenette. The rooms do not have air conditioning, but with the cool evenings, we found it very pleasant just having the windows open.
