Our room looked NOTHING like the photos. Mobile home walls, old furniture, and the room was very dirty. The floor turned our socks black. There was water damage on bathroom walls and floor, Filthy heat vent and air conditioner, rusty sink drain. Queen & Double bed - each pushed up against the walls, with barely any space to walk between them. One plug available in the outlet for both beds to share. One of the most expensive stays on our 6 day trip and the worst experience! No grass for dogs and no outside garbage can for their waste. All of the recent reviews are great so I assume those people got the rooms seen online that must’ve been recently remodeled. It seems very unfair that we paid the same price for our room. Be sure to call ahead and verify that you’re getting what you paid for.

I needed a pet friendly place to stay in Cody WY on short notice which didn’t leave many options. We took our chances on this motel since they were willing to accommodate our dog. The cleanliness of the rooms were … questionable. Excessively dirty floors, flat hard overly used pillows, and rough scratchy blankets. Also the 2 bed queen room really had one queen and one full bed. I won’t stay again. Rooms need a deep clean and bedding needs replacing.
