Great friendly hotel
Great older hotel. Everyone is nice here. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed. It is old so some of the things in the room didn’t work as well as new things would but that wasn’t a big issue for me. It was also nice and quiet except for the occasional semi that drive by. I slept well. I will stay here again, if I need a place in Thermopolis.

Good Luck!
I didn't get to stay here as the hotel management was never at this location. Sign on the door to the office read: "we are doing errands, please call" - only I never received a call back, rather a text at 11:40pm conveying an apology. Drove by the next two days only to see the same sign and 3 (three) cars in their parking lot.

Wonderful check-in! The clerk was very nice and gave me a list of things I could do, such as food places and museums, including recommendations. This is my second stay here. I would return.

This is an old motel. Its conveniently located and reasonably priced for an overnight stay. It was clean but not luxurious. The staff was outstanding.

The staff is so extremely friendly, it is very reasonable as far as price. Extremely clean. It is like a older western style motel, but it definitely beats the other one down the street is way more clean and way more comfortable.

This is a 1940s motel. It is clean and comfortable but very dated. The front desk woman was very helpful. It had some unique features. The bathroom floor was very strange.

This a cute little 1940's motel that the owner has maintained very well. Does it show its age? Yes, but thats also what makes it unique. The rooms are clean and Gina (office) is very helpful.

The owner came to our room and contacted Spectrum to try to rectify the tv problem. He credited some for the inconvenience. Our host Becky was really great attending to our needs.

I liked the area and was happy we got a different room due to the ants in the first room. Staff very friendly. Very old ceilings and bathrooms and water pressure was not so great, but it was cozy and comfortable.

Old and super outdated. Not much else in the area. Not worth the $115 we were charged for a night. Room was hot, fridge was not plugged in so it was useless. Very sketchy place, but we didn’t feel unsafe.

Wonderful location near the HotSprings, lovely park to walk your pets. The neon lights kept me from sleeping soundly. Needs some updating but has tons of potential.

I booked the wrong date and thankfully Gina called to confirm. She helped make accommodations for me that night and had the room and key ready on arrival. Thank you Gina!
