We arrived around 11 p.m., which was a little late, but no one was in the office even though the light said “open.” We ended up calling the number and were given a code to get in. The hotel itself is very nice and clean — no complaints about the rooms at all! The only thing I’d suggest is letting guests know ahead of time that there may not be staff on-site after a certain hour, even if check-in codes are emailed to the customer to get in.

Property was clean. Beds are really soft, which is both good and bad. everything in town is closed on Sunday except for Fossils stuff. The rooms have everything that you need, the shower left a little to be desired, but it was a working shower. Really did enjoy the little Dove soaps. 💜 When we got to the property the woman at the front desk charged us $50 for a pet fee and then put another $200 on a card as a pet deposit. I previously have read reviews where this has happened to other guests and they never got their 200 back so I gave her a card that I then immediately froze so she couldn't overcharge me too. This has been a running issue with I'd say 70% of all hotels I have been staying in. Constantly nickeling and diming, adding extra fees and then not returning funds and then telling you it'll be 7 to 10 business days in hopes that you forget that they overcharged you. There are a little bit of safety concerns as all of the windows in my unit were open including two in the back, and I think I'm really that I didn't know were open until hours later. I don't know how often they change the code for the key locks outside of the units, also smoke detector that was beeping as the batteries were dying was left outside of another unit. It was left outside for multiple hours beeping until I pointed it out to staff and then they still didn't go directly to it.

Pleasant affordable accommodation in Kemmerer

Room spacious, comfortable and clean. Friendly check-in. We stayed there on Sunday night and it was difficult to find a restaurant open for dinner. Very convenient for Fossil Butte NM.

OK for a night- maybe not for T-Mobile users

Hard to rate stars comparing this to a five-star Four Seasons. Old property has had updates, it was clean and decent. I was comfortable and felt safe. Not particularly soundproof, but other than hearing one loud phone conversation from neighbor, it was quiet. Being a DIY-er, I could spend a couple days and several trips to the hardware store fixing stuff, but most things worked well enough for me. I would stay again if I needed to, but... This is not a fault of the motel, but check-in was a challenge. The office was closed upon my 4 PM arrival, only a note on the door to call for access. I have T-Mobile phone service. There is no T-Mobile signal in Kemmerer. I had to drive about three miles back on Highway 30 to find a weak signal to make the call. The person answering explained the staff person had been injured, so no personal service. He gave me my room number and door code, so I finally got in about 5 PM. He said I would find the WiFi code on a plaque in the room. There was no plaque, and I didn't recall the code he recited. Luckily, another lodger drove up and knew the code. Other than that hassle, I slept well.

Room 11 needs a new security lock

The room / bed / shower were great however the door lock was faulty and made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. We moved a chair in front of the door but didn’t feel like we could fully relax to sleep deeply. We checked in after hours and got our door code over the phone - we actually didn’t see any staff at all as we left early the next day. That process couldn’t have been any easier. Other than the security lock it was a great stay.
