Driving from Kiowa, MT via a scenic highway (12 hours on the road) I didn't want to continue another hour to Twin Falls going south.

An Idaho State Officer recommended this place so I booked it over the phone.

There are enough good things to say : Very clean. Good-sized fan took care of any lingering heat. Roomy enough. Nice bathroom. Right off Highway 75, yet quiet.

However ... they just placed mattress covers on the beds and no matter how you move, they squeak. And, while smoking is not allowed in the rooms, it can waft in from outside, even with the windows closed.

For the area, $110-plus is the going rate, I guess.

The huge dividend was the night desk clerk helpfully told me I could save two hours on my drive south (we drove from Bellevue to San Diego the next day). Those 2 hours were a blessing!
