Good place out of the weather.

Bed was a little soft for me. They did have make-your-waffles which were good. A little protein would have added a lot for me.

First choice because best price.

It’s said that travellers would hope to arrive at the 1st choice inn by July 4th in expectation of safe travel before the winter months. We visited in late January. Close. Anyway, if you look carefully you can see the inscriptions of settlers around the outside of the structure. A sort of guestbook-of-the-west. Do you have to turn the shower to hot full and cold less than an inch to get a warm shower, yes. Are there instructions for the sink that clearly belong to a much different faucet? Absolutely. But the floor on one side of the bed is sticky and the staff are extremely kind. What more do you want? The pioneers were lucky to have this affordable stop on their westward travels and so were we.

I had trouble with the front desk. This chain must suck. I stayed in another choice inn in October in Cheyenne. I had similar problems with the staff. It’s ridiculous. This chain could use some training with their Front line staff I will never stay at this chain ever again one positive thing it’s clean

Didn’t like much, main issues were they double charged us! Expedia took my card when I booked, but when we got there she said we owed yet, my husband gave her his card and she charged the room again! I noticed that evening and contacted Expedia because there was no one around the desk. The next morning the same lady that checked us in was 1/2 hour late. There was no one again at the front desk when we checked out. When she finally showed up she was extremely rude and argued with us. She showed us the receipt from expedia( which she said didn’t pay the night before) I pulled out the receipt from the charge on my husbands acct that she had given us when we checked in. All she could say was “ I’ll see what I can do.” She was very snotty about it and basically said we didn’t get charge twice but I had the receipt. We think because she was so upset that we spotted it so soon that she was skimming off the hotel and got caught. Don’t stay here at all, lots of long term renters and lots of vagrants outside on the property! Rooms were old and not very clean, sheets were clean at least! Breakfast was a joke! Stay far away from here unless they redo all the rooms and get rid of the riff- raff( including that day clerk!)
