Staff were very courteous and pleasant. This hotel is located at a truck stop just off the freeway. There is a really good restaurant here and the rooms were very clean and comfy.

There was no place to check-in, so we never got our key and had no place to stay. Tried calling the front desk a dozen times for help but no one answered.

Gas station, Restaurant and convenience store on property. Other than that pretty much isolated. A clean room to sleep and clean up in. Had a power problem in the first room that I was put into, but they quickly moved me to another room and everything was fine.

While the rooms are a bit rustic, there was a certain charm of nostalgic roadside Americana that I loved about this place. I had extra time so I spent the evening soaking at the Lava Hot Springs a little further up I-15. Perfect for a one-night stopover.

The guy who checked us in was very welcoming and informative. It was quiet. Thankful for the blackout curtains cuz the lights at the gas station are flood lights facing the hotel. There's no such thing as mountain view there.

Great affordable property, just an fyi the reports of no TV are true and in an area with nothing but a gas station a working tv would have been nice….nothing fancy but that’s what you pay for… loved the cafe associated with the hotel

Check at the gas station was easy and fast, the person was very enjoyable and make sure we were being comfortable. Room was very clean and the expected size for a motel. Convenient along I-15 Oh yeah, breakfast at the restaurant was included!
