All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Room was clean and the bed comfortable, but in desperate need of an update.... there is a table and chair for a computer, but nowhere to plug it in, and not many other options for other devices (phones, etc).... Breakfast was rather sparse.
The pictures featured on the ad for this property were deceptive. It showed beautiful hot springs which I asked about and found out they were not near the property, they were 45 min away. The carpet in our room needed vacuuming but the beds and bathroom seemed clean.
The Staff were all very friendly and nice.
The reviews were all good for this property but I was not impressed. I don’t need anything fancy on my road trip, but I do expect a properly cleaned room and a bit better than this.
I’ve been fortunate to book here for years. I always feel safe. It's quite and well positioned to everything I need to do in Rawlins, WY. The staff is always helpful, supportive and kind!
Worked out great for a one night stay on our cross country trip.

This is a nice place and a good value. Since I’m still here and it’s only 9:30 pm I don’t know how quiet it will be.. there is a railroad track out back! They claim there will be a be a breakfast with waffles, we’ll see!
In all honesty, I gave all perfect scores because the young man working on 7/25/2025 was fast, respectful and caring when it came to getting my little girls into a room.
He went and double checked the room before getting us keys to ensure it was ready for them to go lay down. He moved fast and efficient.
Will return as long as he continues to be an employee for this establishment!
