Nice place for the price

We had a nice stay at Blue Jay Lodge. Our room was nicely remodeled and modern for the price and for a motel stay. We liked that it had a fridge with a freezer and was dog friendly.

This property is contactless check in/checkout which was very convenient for us. They had a number you could text for any concerns which was very useful. The room was clean and pretty modern. Very walkable to casinos and shops! The only issues we had were the wifi was not working and our room TV did not work, which were not a huge deal for us. I would stay here again!

Basic hotel that excels in its category

Was looking for an inexpensive yet comfortable places to stay while we were snowboarding. This fit the bill perfectly. Enjoy their freshly remodeled rooms. This is your basic hotel that doesn’t pretend to be any More than that, but it does it perfectly
