“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

I stayed here for 5 weeks. The things I liked were as follows: The staff was friendly and professional. The room was big in comparison to the competition. The rooms come with TV, phone service, clock radio, and a table with chairs. Good lighting. The heater/AC worked well enough. Parking is convenient. No odors, no bed bugs, and most of the room was clean enough. Now for what I did not like. There was heavy mold in the bathroom. The water from the sink smelled like sewer occasionally. The staff missed my wake up call twice in a row after which I relied on the clock radio only. They tried to double charge me for a week that I would have missed had I not checked my balance online. The breakfast is paltry, they are frequently out of popular items, and they have signs out telling people not to take much. The doors are locked electronically with a card that they give you. The system has glitches. I had to have the card replaced several times because it stopped working for me. Worst of all, after staying there for 5 weeks they decided to significantly raise the rate on me. This is the main reason why I left disappointed and will not recommend this place. This place basically has no amenities. All you get for the money is a room and breakfast. It is not worth what they charge.

“The worst hotel I ever stayed at”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

If there are any positive reviews on this hotel, they cannot be true. This was awful. There was not one good thing about it. The staff was run by young girls who didnt care about anything. Didnt answer the phones and were not at the desk. The hotel looks like a prison. The pix of it only show a part of the building and for good reason. It was extremely old, run down, smelled and had homeless looking people all around and in it. The other guests looked very poor and run down. The water started out as only hot. Then in the AM was only cold. The shower faucets didnt work and dripped all night. The hotel is located right in front of a railroad track and trains ran all night. Guests could be heard arguing and partying all night. I would have taken a pix of it but we left while it was still dark as we could not stand it.
DO NOT believe any positive reviews. I am alerting you to this. This does not even rate one star. This was one of 3 very bad hotels we just stayed at during our trip that were rated good by alleged guests here. Beware

“Great "stop for the night" spot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

My husband and I found this place on line as we were approaching Rawlins in a Budget moving truck. We just needed to stop for the night, and this place did the job. It was clean, had AC, and good parking. Just what we needed for a good night's sleep before we hit the road again!
