Check at the gas station was easy and fast, the person was very enjoyable and make sure we were being comfortable.
Room was very clean and the expected size for a motel.
Convenient along I-15
Oh yeah, breakfast at the restaurant was included!

This place is like a hidden gem! The room was very spacious very updated and extremely clean. The restaurant and gas station are right there everyone's really friendly and I can keep an eye on all of my things in the trailer. Can't beat the price and like I said very updated large TV nice bathroom computer desk refrigerator microwave etc etc I highly recommend if you need a place to stay overnight on your long drive.

The motel itself is older, but clean and homey. Check-in & check-out are done at the store. We were given free breakfast cards for the cafe there & it was really good! Great cook who knows how to fry bacon!! Thank you 😊

For those who might consider staying here, they have to do the check in at the Shell gas station near by. Alex was great and attentive. The rooms do not have Queen beds as advertised, but overall was fairly good.

We were looking for just an average roadside motel but Flag's West was better than expected. Room was small but room was clean and beds comfy. Room included a coffee maker, microwave, fridge, and staff even moved us to a room with a large TV.
Check-in is done at the convenience store next door which also includes a restaurant.
The best part of our stay had to be the staff. Everyone we interacted with at the store or restaurant were very friendly and pleasant. We even got free breakfast with our room.
We will be staying here again.

Employee who handled check in was very nice but it's weird checking in at the truck stop. Our first room was pretty scary... blinds broken, no curtains. When we plugged in the hanging lamp, it popped a breaker, no lights except in bathroom. They did move us to another room which had been remodeled and was very nice. Just a quirky kind of stop. We needed to stop where it was located so worked out good. Truck stop was very nice place.

the only problem we had was that flag west motel didn't get our payment for the room from and we had to take another thirty minutes out of our mini-vacation to secure a refund from you.

I have never been to a motel like that. The reception was so rude and she wasn't helpful at all. The computer was broken when we got there and we left there without checking and the funny part was that it wasn't refundable.

TV was not available 😢, it was not hooked up to a satellite. They said they could use my phone for a hot spot. I'm not using my personal items for something that should be already in house. We had to leave earlier because caretaker had to unexpectedly return to duty. No way to contact booking and request a refund for one day.

It was not 15mi to Lava Hotsprings. More like 45mi to Lava. Super scary with barely a functioning lock. Couldn't stay there, ended up having to pay for another hotel and uable to get a refund.
