My wife and I along with our dog Ranger were going to the Jeep Silver Lake dunes rally at the end of May and I found the Last Resort Motel by googling and reading reviews. We then arrived and could not believe the quaint little motel just down the road from a lot of things in Hart and around the dunes. The hospitality was awesome. The room was very clean. Came with all the amenities like microwave, stove top, refrigerator, coffee maker and cooking necessities like pans plates silverware. The air conditioner was so cold and Ranger had plenty of room in the room and outside. I would recommend the Last Resort to anybody that would like a nice simple motel. One that’s dog friendly clean and just an overall great venue for the price. The owner Carrie was super nice and so easy to work with from beginning to end!

Room Number Eleven: The photo of the room did NOT match reality. The ancient berber carpet smelled like an ashtray and was full of runs and holes. It looked as if someone had punched a hole through the bathroom door with their fist, which did not make us feel safe. One of the shower walls was actually linoleum flooring that had buckled with use and the base of the shower had two thick mats that we refused to step on. The dead stink bug in the plastic potted plant was the cherry on top. We thought about sleeping in our car, it was that bad.

There was no staff. A phone call to someone gave me the room number and door lock code. Arrived in a rainstorm. The light switch inside did not turn on anything. The only other lights in the main room were on either side of the bed. The bathroom door was a barn door that stuck on its track and was very difficult to open or close It was cold with the rain so I went to adjust the heating element. The remote control was only in Celsius so I had to find the conversion from my phone. I called the number to cancel the remainder of my stay and complain saying I wanted the remainder of my stay paid thru Hotels.com to be refunded to my credit card. Haven't heard yet. I was not happy.

This is an older roadside motel that is being fixed up and is charming and comfortable. If you like the concept of the "Rosebud Motel", this might be a good fit for you.
