Don't go there.

I have used Hotel.com for many years now. The reviews are always spot on. This is the first time the reviews were wrong. This place is a dump. I would never suggest that anyone stay there. From the junk laying around the property to the unkept rooms. Worst place I have ever stayed.

This property is an older motel , poorly maintained, which primarily is renting to people who look like they are living there on a long term basis. The room was dirty, with paint peeling off the walls, outlets and the A/C unit falling out of brackets and a shower with no hot water. It is NOT the property that is shown on the Expedia website Those photos must have been taken years ago.

Surprisingly clean and nice for the price. Enjoyed having a kitchenette for our work related stay. Cant get any better in all of price or helper for workers. The only downside is they are always slammed with reservations sometimes weeks out. Would stay here again if I have work in town.

The check-in was ideal, with the front desk staff quickly and efficiently getting my information, giving me my key, and letting me know about the area around the motel. This is an economy room with no frills, however everything a traveler needs is there, and it was clean and inviting

This is a nice little motel. I needed an inexpensive place to stay overnight while I was on my way to the Uinta Mountains. Nothing fancy, but the room was clean and for an older motel, it was modern and very acceptable. Check-in was easy and fast and the staff was helpful. I would stay here again.

Great value and nice enough to stay again

The basics were all good. The location was quiet and there was a popular food truck nearby. On the negative side, there were paint drips on the floor and fridge.

Excellent Value

The motel is very convenient and close to a few restaurants and the downtown area. Helper Beer (brewery and restaurant) is just a block away. The motel itself was clean but well worn. It is in the process of refurbishment as far as I can observe. The room had an electric fireplace, microwave, and refrigerator. For the price this is an excellent value. I would stay there again.

It was precisely what was advertised, and for the price, exactly what one should expect. It was not luxurious. The room was very clean, and the staff were very friendly.

Helper Stay

This charming motel is nestled just off the highway. It’s in remarkably good shape for an old property. The beds aren’t the greatest and my mattress seemed crooked. It’s pretty rustic in that the heat source is an industrial space heater with an electric fireplace for ambiance. If you need an inexpensive place to stay it’s great. Do bring earplugs unless you're used to being woken up by the sound of trains at 3 AM. The last sentence has zero reflection of the property, just a warning and to be clear, I would stay there again. It is super clean, could be a sweet little boutique motel with a few minor adjustments.
