I loved the clean, spacious room at 3 Explorers Motel. The bedding felt fresh, and the electric blankets made for cozy nights. Location couldn't be better. just a short walk to the stunning Three Sisters. The daily room servicing was a plus, and the easy self-check-in process suited me well. there were a few drawbacks. The fridge was tiny, not ideal for storing much, and the dust around the side tables was disappointing. The bathroom needed some updates. the ceiling was peeling, likely from moisture. while the comfort and cleanliness stood out, the maintenance could use attention.

During our two-night stay, we enjoyed the spacious Two-Bedroom Suite with a spa bath, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the area. Being just a short walk from the stunning views at the Echo Point made our trip even more enjoyable. The suite was a great value for the price, and even though the fridge was small, it had just enough space for our drinks. A nice touch was the air conditioner being on upon arrival, so we walked into a cozy environment after a chilly day outside.

Clean room with comfortable beds. The queen room provided decent space for a family stay with a cozy setup.

The room had a musty smell and the bed was uncomfortably hard. Broken bathroom parts posed safety risks, prompting a frustrating request for removal. We also discovered dangerous broken glass under the cot, making it an unacceptable situation for families.

stayed at explorers for 3 nights, and it was a great location! just a short walk to the three sisters and scenic world. the room was warm, comfortable, and clean, with a nice fridge for our drinks. we appreciated the easy phone check-in process.

the decor is a bit older, but it didn't bother us too much.
