Highly Recommended Quaint Motel
Probably one of the best managed hotels I’ve stayed in. Easy check-in, friendly staff, ample amenities, very helpful on recommendations for local attractions, and facility was very comfortable, clean and host very welcoming. Owners were obviously personally involved in operating motel and it showed.

Lazy J motel had great rooms and amenities. Check in was seamless, more like a little cottage room. Housekeeping did a wonderful job keeping us stocked on items. Animals in the back with a beautiful view. I would recommend this Motel for anyone visiting the national park. They were very welcoming and friendly.

Amazing for adventurous families
Jane and her whole family were amazing. We had so much fun with the baby goats, they were adorable. The brown cow in the front yard greeted us every morning on our way to pick up a fantastic homemade pastrie and eggs AND every evening upon our return from amazing local journies. The place had everything we could ask for during our stay, we would definitely stay again!

Room and location was just as advertised, “cozy”! It was clean and in good condition for age and location. Only complaint was the air conditioning was a bit stuffy even when running overnight.

It is what it is!
It is a nice location and like other reviews said it would be. Older but clean and neat. Pool was nice and it had outside seating areas. We were given all the information needed on restaurants when arriving and the arrival was easy. TV is old school but OK for our one night stay.
