OK for a night- maybe not for T-Mobile users

Hard to rate stars comparing this to a five-star Four Seasons. Old property has had updates, it was clean and decent. I was comfortable and felt safe. Not particularly soundproof, but other than hearing one loud phone conversation from neighbor, it was quiet. Being a DIY-er, I could spend a couple days and several trips to the hardware store fixing stuff, but most things worked well enough for me. I would stay again if I needed to, but... This is not a fault of the motel, but check-in was a challenge. The office was closed upon my 4 PM arrival, only a note on the door to call for access. I have T-Mobile phone service. There is no T-Mobile signal in Kemmerer. I had to drive about three miles back on Highway 30 to find a weak signal to make the call. The person answering explained the staff person had been injured, so no personal service. He gave me my room number and door code, so I finally got in about 5 PM. He said I would find the WiFi code on a plaque in the room. There was no plaque, and I didn't recall the code he recited. Luckily, another lodger drove up and knew the code. Other than that hassle, I slept well.

Room 11 needs a new security lock

The room / bed / shower were great however the door lock was faulty and made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. We moved a chair in front of the door but didn’t feel like we could fully relax to sleep deeply. We checked in after hours and got our door code over the phone - we actually didn’t see any staff at all as we left early the next day. That process couldn’t have been any easier. Other than the security lock it was a great stay.

Check pet friendly rules

Just passing through and booked a room last minute because it was a pet friendly place. Arrived to find out there are pet friendly rooms. Being a motel with 14 rooms, my room was not "pet friendly". Had to pay $50 shampoo fee. This was not clear on website.

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

Staff were nice. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. No ice machine, so bring your own. Walls are paper thin. Our next door neighbor woke us up at 01:30 talking on the phone or to himself for about half an hour.

This is one star hotel masquerading as a three-star hotel and charging the prices of a four. Scroll through all the pictures on this site the very last picture is closer to what you're going to receive. The first pictures are nice looks like it's been recently upgraded, the reality is not all of the rooms have been recently upgraded. We also found an old pizza in the fridge. We were charged more on site then we were when we made the booking online. For the price we were charged there should have at least been a Continental breakfast, a pool, laminate floors instead of stained carpet and a clean shower

All we needed

Room was clean and beds were comfy - all we really needed for a quick one-night stay as we were passing through the area. Staff was friendly. No complaints.
