Scene
Value-oriented apartment-style hotel with a no-kids policy
Queenstown Motel Apartments is a family-owned and operated apartment-style hotel complex spread out over three two-story buildings that surround a parking lot. Two of the buildings house the Studio Apartments, while the third building houses four additional units. The reception area is small but bright, decorated with shelves full of colorful model cars. There's also a large rack of tourism brochures and a bench, but nowhere to really sit down and linger. Most guests are vacationers looking for a good deal close to town, and the hotel offers discounts for extended stays. Note that children under the age of 14 are not allowed at the motel.
