Very nice place with friendly guests

I stayed here last year, and the service was very good. Same this year. No breakfast, but for the price this place is friendly, clean, and has a very good location.

Pleasant affordable accommodation in Kemmerer

Room spacious, comfortable and clean. Friendly check-in. We stayed there on Sunday night and it was difficult to find a restaurant open for dinner. Very convenient for Fossil Butte NM.

contemporary room design

With the standard fare of hotel room decor at other places, the contemporary design certainly stands out to give a fresh look. Plenty of space to spread out my stuff during the stay. Like many other places, the bathroom door would block some of the bathroom area, including the roll with the toilet
