Amenities at Uplift Inn
Formerly known as JC suites, the new owners of the Uplift Inn have put a tremendous amount of work into the motel to make it an inviting and comfortable space at an affordable price point. There are currently 9 rooms to choose from each offering unique and modern mountain décor.
We stayed in Room 8 which had a comfy king-sized bed, a couch, table, large bathroom (complete with toiletries and a wonderful shower), microwave, mini-fridge, air conditioner, small fan, personal ice machine, and even a hot water pitcher. It had everything you could need for a weekend getaway.
Right next door, there was a delicious BBQ restaurant and a newly opened brewery! There was even a coupon for buy-one-get-one beers in our room + a free parking coupon if you were to venture downtown (which you totally should).
