Check pet friendly rules

Just passing through and booked a room last minute because it was a pet friendly place. Arrived to find out there are pet friendly rooms. Being a motel with 14 rooms, my room was not "pet friendly". Had to pay $50 shampoo fee. This was not clear on website.

contemporary room design

With the standard fare of hotel room decor at other places, the contemporary design certainly stands out to give a fresh look. Plenty of space to spread out my stuff during the stay. Like many other places, the bathroom door would block some of the bathroom area, including the roll with the toilet

"When we got to the hotel, the front desk staff was in the middle of cleaning rooms, but she greeted us with a big smile and was more than happy to help us check in right away."

Staff were nice. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. No ice machine, so bring your own. Walls are paper thin. Our next door neighbor woke us up at 01:30 talking on the phone or to himself for about half an hour.

This is one star hotel masquerading as a three-star hotel and charging the prices of a four. Scroll through all the pictures on this site the very last picture is closer to what you're going to receive. The first pictures are nice looks like it's been recently upgraded, the reality is not all of the rooms have been recently upgraded. We also found an old pizza in the fridge. We were charged more on site then we were when we made the booking online. For the price we were charged there should have at least been a Continental breakfast, a pool, laminate floors instead of stained carpet and a clean shower

All we needed

Room was clean and beds were comfy - all we really needed for a quick one-night stay as we were passing through the area. Staff was friendly. No complaints.

Small and old hotel that has been recently renovated. Wasn't perfect, but it was well stocked with soap, shampoo, clean towels, TP, etc. Beds were clean. Management was friendly. No breakfast at this motel, but we knew that at booking. Parking was adequate. For some reason hotels in Kemmerer are all rather expensive.
