Harper Motel by Venserra — Hotel in Harper

A clean, competent, no-frills motel. It’s in the “better than camping” tier of motels. Don’t expect shampoo (or even a bathroom counter) , a room key, or cleaning during your stay. My room was clean.

Good luck if...

Clean, friendly, great value. With an older, inexpensive motel, you never know what you’re going to get, but I was very happy with the Harper motel. They got all the important things right. My rooms was clean, the A/C unit was pretty new and worked well, the plumbing all worked well. Sure, there was some cosmetic damage and outdated furnishings, but that’s why they’re not charging $100+/night. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Would definitely...
