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.

Great stay! Easy check in, friendly, offered any additional need request, room large and updated, quiet, very clean, plenty towels, soap, etc. Comfortable bed, power plug ins, great shower facility including my favorite- no tub / shower pan design. Door load /unload. Good quiet location. Older highway motel well maintained. You won't go wrong booking a room.

If you don't smoke, don't stay here!
The room was clean and comfortable but there was always a group of people standing outside smoking. You couldn't spend any time outside without being in the middle of the smoke. When we were packing up our car to leave, the housekeeper stood outside our door blowing smoke all over our stuff. If you don't smoke, this probably isn't the motel for you.

Nice, simple place to stay.
Nice, simple place to stay. The owners were friendly and receptive. They even had towels for us to go to the hot springs. The room was clean and simple. Only small challenge was the poor AC unit struggled to keep it cool but it could have been way worse.

They say they accept dogs. The caviat is they dont allow you to leave them in the room unattended, even in a kennel. I was told this is because they "wreck the rooms" I was told by the front desk staff that I should leave them in the car if I left the room. It is summer and extremely hot out. We ended up going elsewhere. Dont say youre dog friendly if you just want the extra money for a pet fee, but not actual be a good and safe accommodation for people with pets.
