The person who checked us in we assume to be the owner. She was very welcoming. The room did have an odor…perhaps other guests had dirty/stinky shoes. But otherwise the room was clean, bed very comfy. We got the last room available so wonder if a room with just one large bed would have been better for us. We would definitely stay again!

This is a small renovated motel from the older days. Very cute, the rooms have all been redone in wood paneling with comfortable new beds and amenities. Tabitha, the new owner is welcoming as is her family. I definitely recommend this place for those who want the charm of the of old motels and the comfort of the new.

Lovely couple own this place. It is older but has been upgraded and is very clean and quiet. I sits back from the road. I like parking in front of the door. I can keep an eye on my vehicle and if I need something I don't have far to walk. Very friendly and helpful owners. We will definitely stay there again when in Thermopolis.

Property was a great value and was very clean. Stayed in #5 with king bed. Newer mattress. Soft sheets and fluffy pillows. New carpet. Updated bath. I was impressed with the pride of ownership of the grounds and units. Will support small business/locally owned that does it right like these folks and stay there again in the future when coming to Thermop.

Our room was ready when we arrived. I was pleasantly surprised. We found the room CLEAN. I have stayed in fancy hotels that weren't as clean. The room was tastefully decorated. Microwave, fridge and freezer were clean. Even the grout was clean in the shower. The grounds were neat and tidy. When in Thermopolis, we will definitely stay again.

This is an old-fashioned motel that has been spruced up. Our room was very cute, with "western" theme. Nice bed. We were pleasantly surprised.
