Sure, it's old, but it's a gem for a cheap hotel! We are extremely pleasantly surprised by how clean the room was! It is all 60s-70s style, but VERY well kept! Very conveniently located just off I-80, and the girl at the counter that helped us was a sweetheart! Most cheaper hotels have ornery staff that don't really want to... More

An excellent value, clean and comfortable. Very dated, but who cares if it is clean, and I mean spotless. Highly recommended for travellers on a budget. More

The Prairie Inn is a little surprising - doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a pretty good place to stay! Huge rooms, with table and chairs. Comfortable queen bed. Extra pillows provided on request, and the check in clerk was very sweet. Beautiful wood ceilings and block walls, so pretty quiet except the diesel trucks starting up... More

This is the only place to stay in Evanston,Wyoming. I don't think I have ever been in a two door motel room before, perfect in all seasons. The rooms are big, clean, the rate beats anything else in town. The staff is friendly and the building has an interesting history. It was built in 1966 by the same family who... More

This is a pretty much unmolested mid-century jewel. From the big keys on plastic tags to the beautiful terrazzo floors in the large bathrooms. The rooms are big with high cielings. Very cool and independantly owned. More

We have 3 kids, a teenager and 2 younger kids. It's hard to find a room where there's enough space for everyone to stretch out and relax. This was one room that met those requirements. The dressing area was roomy enough and private enough for when everyone got ready for bed. The breakfast was your typical continental fare of muffins,... More

The Prairie Inn was the perfect place for us. Basic accommodations...but very clean. We were in Evanston visiting family, so we did not need a resort just a nice place to sleep. The room was large, nice bathroom, coffee and continental breakfast in the morning. We were very comfortable. More

Excellent stay. Very friendly staff. Lobby is cozy with fireplace. Price was very low compared to value. Room was great. Free continental breakfast. Room has 2 doors, one to your car, one to the inside hallway. Would recommend to everyone! More

We traveled 2 weeks from VIrginia to Idaho and back for a horse show. Our favorite stay was the Prairie Inn in Evanston. Wooden ceilings, big clean rooms, period pieces in the immense hallways. Interesting architecture - I would call it "50s modern hunting lodge" updated for comfort without losing the retro flavor. Very good breakfast and nice, welcoming staff.... More
