What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 745 guest reviews
Rhode's Motor Lodge earns consistently high marks for its charming retro aesthetic, attentive staff, clean rooms, and peaceful river and mountain views, making the vast majority of guests eager to return. Minor but recurring complaints include some room-specific issues — such as balconies rendered uncomfortable by air conditioning units, windowless rooms not flagged at booking, and thin walls — that suggest a few accommodations fall short of the lodge's otherwise strong standard.
