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!

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 😊

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.

While the rooms are a bit rustic, there was a certain charm of nostalgic roadside Americana that I loved about this place. I had extra time so I spent the evening soaking at the Lava Hot Springs a little further up I-15. Perfect for a one-night stopover.

While traveling, I was in an accident due to a snow storm and was late getting to the hotel. I tried calling and no one answered. Upon arrival, the "lobby" (a gas station) was closed. I again called and no one answered. I was unable to get into the hotel room and had to find another hotel.

Flags West was an excellent choice: The place is not fancy, BUT, . . .the room was clean; the Bed was firm (not broken-down); and even though the description did NOT indicate a complimentary breakfast, they provided a voucher for breakfast at the associated diner. All-in-all, this was an extremely good value.

Great affordable property, just an fyi the reports of no TV are true and in an area with nothing but a gas station a working tv would have been nice….nothing fancy but that’s what you pay for… loved the cafe associated with the hotel

We got to the motel late (10:00pm). There was a large sign that said to check in at the truck stop next door. Problem was it was closed for the night. After beating on the door for several minutes a gentleman from inside finally came to the door. We then got our room key. We were very concerned that we were not going to get our room that night. Next door to the motel was a truck stop with trucks coming and going. The positive side was the inexpensive room rate made it worth while.
