"When we got to the hotel, the front desk staff was in the middle of cleaning rooms, but she greeted us with a big smile and was more than happy to help us check in right away."

contemporary room design

With the standard fare of hotel room decor at other places, the contemporary design certainly stands out to give a fresh look. Plenty of space to spread out my stuff during the stay. Like many other places, the bathroom door would block some of the bathroom area, including the roll with the toilet

Room 11 needs a new security lock

The room / bed / shower were great however the door lock was faulty and made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. We moved a chair in front of the door but didn’t feel like we could fully relax to sleep deeply. We checked in after hours and got our door code over the phone - we actually didn’t see any staff at all as we left early the next day. That process couldn’t have been any easier. Other than the security lock it was a great stay.

We arrived around 11 p.m., which was a little late, but no one was in the office even though the light said “open.” We ended up calling the number and were given a code to get in. The hotel itself is very nice and clean — no complaints about the rooms at all! The only thing I’d suggest is letting guests know ahead of time that there may not be staff on-site after a certain hour, even if check-in codes are emailed to the customer to get in.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Property was clean. Beds are really soft, which is both good and bad. everything in town is closed on Sunday except for Fossils stuff. The rooms have everything that you need, the shower left a little to be desired, but it was a working shower. Really did enjoy the little Dove soaps. 💜 When we got to the property the woman at the front desk charged us $50 for a pet fee and then put another $200 on a card as a pet deposit. I previously have read reviews where this has happened to other guests and they never got their 200 back so I gave her a card that I then immediately froze so she couldn't overcharge me too. This has been a running issue with I'd say 70% of all hotels I have been staying in. Constantly nickeling and diming, adding extra fees and then not returning funds and then telling you it'll be 7 to 10 business days in hopes that you forget that they overcharged you. There are a little bit of safety concerns as all of the windows in my unit were open including two in the back, and I think I'm really that I didn't know were open until hours later. I don't know how often they change the code for the key locks outside of the units, also smoke detector that was beeping as the batteries were dying was left outside of another unit. It was left outside for multiple hours beeping until I pointed it out to staff and then they still didn't go directly to it.

Check pet friendly rules

Just passing through and booked a room last minute because it was a pet friendly place. Arrived to find out there are pet friendly rooms. Being a motel with 14 rooms, my room was not "pet friendly". Had to pay $50 shampoo fee. This was not clear on website.

This is one star hotel masquerading as a three-star hotel and charging the prices of a four. Scroll through all the pictures on this site the very last picture is closer to what you're going to receive. The first pictures are nice looks like it's been recently upgraded, the reality is not all of the rooms have been recently upgraded. We also found an old pizza in the fridge. We were charged more on site then we were when we made the booking online. For the price we were charged there should have at least been a Continental breakfast, a pool, laminate floors instead of stained carpet and a clean shower

Small and old hotel that has been recently renovated. Wasn't perfect, but it was well stocked with soap, shampoo, clean towels, TP, etc. Beds were clean. Management was friendly. No breakfast at this motel, but we knew that at booking. Parking was adequate. For some reason hotels in Kemmerer are all rather expensive.
