The property is an older property but so very well kept. Rooms were very clean and the bed and pillows were some of the most comfortable I’ve slept on in a motel. Very well worth it and extremely friendly owners. Would stay again for sure.

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.
