Hotel was in the middle of nowhere but luckily there is gas on the other side of the street. Lots of views similar to places on Mars. Overall a respite from the wilderness that is all around it.

We wished the housekeeper respect our "request" that we do not need the room to be clean by not placing the magnet sign at the front side of the door. We understand that they work hard to ensure the cleanliness of the bathroom, but we did not ask for it and we disappointed that they entered our room without being asked for.

We had tried calling multiple times to let them know we were running late for check in and no one would answer the phone and or return out calls. Then we got there and checked in but the next morning out key card no longer worked and we could not get in the room. Luckily we found house keeping who could get us into our room. Unfortunately not much available out there so have to deal with these types of issues.
