In addition to easy access to the trail, the motel offers free wireless Internet access and free continental breakfast each morning. Comfort Inn also has an indoor swimming pool, hot tub and fitness center, and rooms include cable TV, coffee makers and either two queen beds or one king bed.
Despite being alongside Highway 20, Super 8 is located in a largely residential area without much road noise. A few restaurants are within walking distance, including fast food establishments a block to the east and west. The Cherry County Historical Society Museum is across the street, and the Valentine Visitors Center is another block to the north. The motel has a swimming pool, free Internet access and free breakfast each morning. Rooms include microwaves, refrigerators and coffee makers.

Motel Raine sits alongside Highway 20 on the west side of Highway 97.
