Great check in even though there was some confusion due to an erroneous listing on Expedia. Was given a room with two full beds instead of the king we cooked but it all worked out. All the appliances worked well and the room was very quiet

Economical and friendly

Really economical choice if you're coming into Thermopolis. I've stayed here three times. Just g9t bought by new owner and only reason I left only 3 stars for cleanliness is she had just varnished the wood, and there was a residue left on it. Otherwise great.

My husband grew up in Thermopolis and he was pleasantly surprised that the new owners/management have been remodeling the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. There was enough room for my whole family to sleep. We will stay there whenever we travel back to Thermopolis.
