Rooms are a bit more modern than the rustic exterior of the hotel would suggest and some have mini-fridges and microwaves. Guests love the attention to detail the staff provides, including thoughtful touches like sending guests off with goodie bags.

Scene
Motel exuding rustic charm surrounded by pine trees
“Welcome to Paradice,” greets guests from the sign of the two-story Paradice Motel, a quaint motel with a brown wood and brick façade. Surrounded by pine trees and decorated with hanging baskets filled with colorful flowers, the motel has a certain rustic charm. A brown chair in the lobby with pictures of bears on it and a small moose statue holding business cards add kitschy wilderness appeal. There’s a small jelly bean-shaped outdoor pool surrounded by concrete and a few pieces of patio furniture. The owners go out of their way to ensure guests leave happy, including touches like chocolates on the pillow and giving departing guests goody bags containing bottles of water, candy, and moisturizer.
