Hard rain and a road closure made night driving difficult. Needed a room. Was checked in quickly. Family run place, staff was nice, glad I discovered a mom and pop, as I tend to get much better treatment than a franchise run. I seek these out and rarely I am disappointed. Very rarely. Very happy with this place! Room was very retro, comfy, clean sheets, LOTS of fluffy pillows. Slept well. Asked nicely for a checkout extension and was granted an extra hour at no charge.

This review is for a stay from 8/5-8/6/22. Called ahead when we were about 1.5 hrs away and asked for vacancies, and they offered $60 a night(absolute steal!). Once we got there, check in was quick, easy. No ice available after 10pm but that was fine with us. We got a single bed for two adults, non-smoking. There's no pool, but a soda machine by the office. The room was very adequate! Free decent wifi, Fully carpeted, No smoke smell, clean (I check for bed bugs). The room had three chairs, one desk, one microwave (unplugged) and one plugged in mini fridge with freezer(which actually froze our ice packs over night). One wrapped ice bucket, wrapped cups, TV with remote, 3.5 serviceable outlets(though one is always fully occupied and the rest have at least one item connected, which may be an issue for those travelling with a lot of tech), Heater, working air con, Small closet with two bars across opposite sides with no coat hangers and one luggage rack. Bathroom had two sets (bath towel and hand towel), floor towel and all usual toiletries in packets (2 liquid shampoo, 2 lotions, 2 bar soaps: hand washing/bath). The bathtub faucet was leaking the whole time and the toilet was a bit low, and would flush a bit wonky but was working. The shower pressure was low to medium, just play with the nozzle for a bit and you'll get some decent pressure with clearly hot or cold water. The bed was two twins pressed up to each other making a California king size bed, which was comfy enough. The sheets were soft and quite clean (some superficial stains/damage on the top comforter but nothing that takes away from it). The fridge door fights the carpet when you open it but works if you tilt it a touch. Given the low cost and easy available parking and access from main street, this place is an absolute win and this would be the first place I would check if I was coming through again. The gentleman checking me in was quiet, pragmatic and quick, check out was easy enough just left the key where the instructions on the door said to. 5/5 would absolutely stay here again for value and the fact that it's independently owned. (It was 42% cheaper than anywhere else I called to ask!)

Older local motel. Surprisingly the beds are very comfortable. Pillows are decent. Good selection on tv. Park at the door. Good hot water pressure. I was skeptical at first because there are homeless in the area. That being said, there are working cameras all over this property and it was very quiet. Could stand some room spray. All staff was super nice. No bugs!!

Old but clean rooms. In our room it seemed like the bathroom was remodeled recently and the water pressure was great. Ac was a little bit worn and confusing but it ended up working fine. Parking is tight there is only one area that’d work if you’re towing a trailer

Needed a room for the night and when I found this one they only had 3 rooms left. We came into town when Cheyenne was having three high school graduations so hotel rooms were pretty scarce. Definitely got a good night's sleep.

Cheap simple motel in a good location, near gas stations, stores, and the saloon. The rooms are definitely outdated and small, but it makes up for those in being clean at all times and the bathrooms working perfectly. The service was also great too and were helpful for any situation. The motel is probably the cheapest in the area as well, which probably explains the small room sizes and outdated fixtures... but nothing is dirty or falling apart or anything. So if you're looking for a budget option or a prime location this motel will be for you.

I chose this motel because it was the best priced one in the area and I just needed a clean, comfortable sleep. I was a little concerned because it looks like they cater to long-term stays and in my experience that can be iffy, but it seemed quiet. It's in a really old neighborhood, but there is a nice/new area just a couple of blocks away. Check-in was quick and easy. When I got into the room, the A/C was blasting cold air. I was able to easily adjust it to my preference and had the perfect temperature my whole stay. The bathroom has great water flow -- the shower felt wonderful! The TV worked great and had plenty of channels to choose from. The refrigerator worked great. With two beds in the room it was very cozy, but didn't feel cramped at all. My only negative comment is that (due to its age) there were hardly any accessible outlets, but I was able to easily make it work. The room was clean. I slept well. I would definitely stay here again.

I've stayed here 2 times now. I chose this hotel because I can park my car right in front of my room. Its easier to load and unload that way. The first time I stayed there something was wrong with the heater, I went to the front deck and the man working there (he seemed like the owner) ran right over and fixed it for me. He was very nice, curious and helpful. The room was clean, (needs some updates for sure) but the bed was comfortable and clean. Its not the rits but it was not bad. The next time I stayed there he gave me a nicer room due to the problems with the heater. It still needs some updates but all and all it was a nice, comfortable and clean room. I stay in Cheyenne often and have tried many hotels. This one is nice because the price is reasonable and I like being able to park right out my room door.
