Our stay was for one night on our way to Great Basin NP. The beds were comfortable. The rooms could use some deep cleaning and it was on the main road so it was noisy. It's an old hotel but served our purpose for the night.

I've stayed here twice now as a one-night stop en route to my final destination and will stay here again. Although the rooms are showing their age, they have been kept up well. Overall, I've gotten what I wanted, that is a clean bed and a clean bath. Bonus points for a strong wi-fi.

We knew we would be getting an older property and just needed a bed for the night. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. The room was very worn out, however, including a creaky and soft-feeling thick-carpeted covered floor. We were surprised, frankly, that the room came with a continental breakfast. The breakfast offerings were minimal ... some fruit and packaged pastries. It was an adequate stopover, but if you're coming into town early, no reason to get to your hotel early.

They need better pillows, the ones they had were for back sleepers only. The room was hot and you couldn't change the temperature.

The bathroom sink and toilet were dirty, I couldn't get the air conditioner to work and the staff was not helpful with the A/C. When found room keys from the prior guest still in the room. I had to argue with Expedia to get a refund, but the staff did tell expedia it was okay to refund my room

Staff was great upon check-in. Room conditions weren't great. Carpet was stained, rust in mini fridge . Just felt dirty. Bed was SUPER comfortable. Location is right on a main corridor so sleeping was interrupted with traffic noise.
