Very nice place to stay! Clean, comfortable, quiet and friendly! The building may be antiquated, probably built in the 1950's, but it is nicely remodeled, clean and comfortable! Will I ever stay at Blue Spruce Lodge again? If I'm ever in the area again, you bet I will!! Oh, by the way, ignore the naysayers who have posted mean reviews here! Those kinds of people wouldn't be happy in a 5-star, $100-million Hilton Hotel on the beaches of Hawaii!

I have stayed at this motel recently on 3 bookings. I never experienced any extra noise or disturbance during my stay. Their prices are good and the rooms are fresh and very clean. People at this place are friendly and fast in the process. I highly recommend this place especially for the cleanliness of the room and the peaceful environment.
