The Valley Creek Motel is conveniently located on the west side of town on Highway 21. There are 7 rooms total. We stayed on the second floor which offered good views of the Sawtooths from the front balcony and a pleasant view off the rear deck of the Valley Creek and nearby hills. As with most of the motels in Stanley, it is right on the main road, so you also have views of other buildings, junky yards, etc. -- but that was our expectation anyway.
The rooms were good-sized, very clean and in great condition. The beds were very comfortable. Although we didn't watch it, the TV was a nice, medium-sized flat screen. There was a small kitchenette that was well outfitted, and a small table with 2 chairs. The bathroom is small but clean. They provide shampoo/conditioner/lotion and a hair dryer. There is also an ironing board in the room. There are chairs and tables on the front balcony so you can sit outside. There is also free w-fi.
I would definitely choose Valley Creek again. And while you are in Stanley, be sure to visit the Stanley Museum!
