While traveling, I was in an accident due to a snow storm and was late getting to the hotel. I tried calling and no one answered. Upon arrival, the "lobby" (a gas station) was closed. I again called and no one answered. I was unable to get into the hotel room and had to find another hotel.

We got to the motel late (10:00pm). There was a large sign that said to check in at the truck stop next door. Problem was it was closed for the night. After beating on the door for several minutes a gentleman from inside finally came to the door. We then got our room key. We were very concerned that we were not going to get our room that night. Next door to the motel was a truck stop with trucks coming and going. The positive side was the inexpensive room rate made it worth while.

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.

Flags West was an excellent choice: The place is not fancy, BUT, . . .the room was clean; the Bed was firm (not broken-down); and even though the description did NOT indicate a complimentary breakfast, they provided a voucher for breakfast at the associated diner. All-in-all, this was an extremely good value.

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

Poor room friendly attendant

While the attendants at the gas station were very friendly, they had minimal knowledge of the motel. When we arrived the door wouldn't open with the key provided, we used the other key and with some fenegaling and pushing we got the door opened. The door isn't very protective to say the least. We were told if we needed anything to dial 1 on the phone, we checked the room for the television remote and couldn't find it, so I started looking for the phone to call the desk and there is no phone. I called using my cellphone and spoke with the attendant, he was friendly but not knowledgeable. He said he would get a hold of his manager. He did and called me back saying there is no television service in the room that is why there are no remotes. They did not make this clear on the website or when we checked in. I expressed my concern with the man and he said I would have to wait until Monday to talk to the manager. The room had trash around the beds, bug traps right in front of the door, sticky stuff on the end table between the two beds. For almost 100 a night I can honestly say I've had better experiences in more seedy areas of our country for a lower cost

TERRIBLE.........STAY AWAY.....

Made the reservation, got to the property. the store that has the keys was closing. the night manager locked up with the motel key inside and could not get back in. I was not even able to get into the room. I had to go on down the road and try to find another motel. They have a phone with 4 options. 2 of those are always busy and the other 2 have voice mails that are always full. Terrible service and I am requesting a refund. Never even think about staying at this place
