A good value . . . if you manage your expectations and compare it to other options in the area.
Fact is, CdA is wildly over-priced, more so now that the pandemic is over/ending/never occurred (this is Idaho, after all). Rate increases in this area are insane, though comparable to other regions that have a tourist-base. Two rooms, each with king-sized beds, costs approx. $360 (inclusive of taxes/fees) mid-week.
The good? Great central location. Small town/privately-owned, non-chain, feel. Designated parking spots. Comfy (if firm) bed. A/C. All/most of the other amenities you need. Contact with the desk was pleasant over the phone while making reservations. Check-in was easy.
The so-so? Dated decor. The 'theme' idea is fun, even if the actual execution is a bit of a hodgepodge. Cleaning is a bit suspect (there were spit-wads on one of the pictures in my room). The other room had an 'off' odor.
The bad? Nothing really, again, if you manage your expectations. You can stay at a chain and pay way too much. You can also stay at a certain 'resort' and pay way, way, way too much. Or you can stay at a quirky motel, save some money, and use it for other things. Your call.
Would I stay here again? Sure. Then again, I prefer odd places with a certain degree of quirky charm . . . even if I would urge them to continue making small upgrades (new or no carpets, better cleaning, new bedding, etc.) as their profits--slim though they might be--permit.
PS: Being 'pet friendly' is only a plus to those who like to stay in rooms with pets or that recently had pets in them. For others, that might be a turn-off . . . regardless of whether it is an emotional support or service animal (though it IS illegal to charge a fee for the latter).
