In all honesty, I gave all perfect scores because the young man working on 7/25/2025 was fast, respectful and caring when it came to getting my little girls into a room. He went and double checked the room before getting us keys to ensure it was ready for them to go lay down. He moved fast and efficient. Will return as long as he continues to be an employee for this establishment!

One Star Motel with Crazy Pet Policy

The staff was friendly and did their best, the building is in need of updating a nd it is very out dated/ plain. If you want to sleep and leave this is your place. The pet policy is ridiculous, lengthy, and I will never go through that much paperwork again for one star motel.

Good place out of the weather.

Bed was a little soft for me. They did have make-your-waffles which were good. A little protein would have added a lot for me.

First choice because best price.

It’s said that travellers would hope to arrive at the 1st choice inn by July 4th in expectation of safe travel before the winter months. We visited in late January. Close. Anyway, if you look carefully you can see the inscriptions of settlers around the outside of the structure. A sort of guestbook-of-the-west. Do you have to turn the shower to hot full and cold less than an inch to get a warm shower, yes. Are there instructions for the sink that clearly belong to a much different faucet? Absolutely. But the floor on one side of the bed is sticky and the staff are extremely kind. What more do you want? The pioneers were lucky to have this affordable stop on their westward travels and so were we.

I had trouble with the front desk. This chain must suck. I stayed in another choice inn in October in Cheyenne. I had similar problems with the staff. It’s ridiculous. This chain could use some training with their Front line staff I will never stay at this chain ever again one positive thing it’s clean
