It felt strange checking in to a hotel at a gas station cashier desk, but everyone was friendly! The rooms were warm in January and well maintained.

Accused of keeping the key from a previous stay. The woman checking me in wanted to argue with me that I didn’t leave it in the room just as I did. That always starts the night off …

Convenient

Very clean room very accommodating. Customer Service is very friendly. Would stay there again.

We arrived for our two rooms and they had to scramble to find two clean ones. We had two wheelchairs and could not get them in the rooms. Sarah apologized and promised to get our money refunded through Travelocity. We chased after them for days and never got anything refunded. I understand extenuating circumstances on firing the maid, but VERY disappointed to be promised a refund and then deliberately ignoring our phone calls so there is no refund.

Very clean and spacious room

LIKED THE REMODELING OF IT. I HATED THE BEDBUGS , IT UPSET ME BECAUSE OF FINDING THE BED BUGS AND MY GIRL FRIEND WAS BITTEN ON THE RIGHT LEG BY THE BEDBUGS, AND THE MANAGER OF THE MOTEL GAVE ME THE WRONG RECEIPT. AND SATURDAY A WORKER DRIVING A BLACK TRUCK WAS SPINNING AROUND BETWEEN THE HOTEL SRAYING PEBBLES AT THE MOTEL AND WINDOWS AND ALSO THE PEBBLES SPRAYED MY VAN AND WINDOWS AND ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK MANAGER WAS VERY POLITE. MATINANCE MAN DID HIS BEST TO CONVINCE ME THAT IT WAS BETTLES. ALSO THE MANAGER GAVE ME THE WRONG RECIEPT IT WAS FOR ROOM 7 WE STAYED IN ROOM 6 .

It was hard to find and we arrived late and there was no one there to check us in. The place did not look safe and we had to find another hotel.

Property was fine and clean however train went by every few hours. Noisy. People were very pleasant and helpful. Limited dining choices to walk too. Food very good.

Luckily me and wife checked in early for this motel other wise that staff told us we might have to spend our night outside. There was two stuff working on the date 08/07 one male and one female both pretty old. When we got there to check in there was no check in booth rather than a Sinclair gas station. I called and they said they will send somebody with the keys from the gas station. When we got there they shouted at us to get the keys from the station. Very unprofessional and rude and also I had a feeling that they do not like people with colors. We spend 10 days on the road as we are traveling from California to Yellowstone never had an experience like this. I am going to call Expedia for this and make a complain against those two racist old hags.

Don't book through hotels.com, or Expedia. They did not receive the reservation. Did not have the room booked online. Beds are old and really too soft.

This place so comfy it was clean has everything u need .

When in a bind ok place to stay. It was clean but very dated. Frequent commercial traffic was noisy.

My motel room at Howard’s Motel had a clean well made bed , clean bathroom and vanity. The refrigerator worked so well, it froze my food and drink—but my cooler’s ice blocks were perfectly refrozen for the journey home. The only thing that was somewhat uncomfortable for me, a single woman, was that the motel units have no landscaping surrounding them-just gravel. However, I was able to park my car right at the unit’s door—unpacking and packing my car easily and quickly. Also, the area surrounding the motel is well lit with security lights. I would stay at Howard’s again the next time i need a place to stay while in the area.

Great stay for quick fishing trip. Free bag of ice daily with room was super convenient. Walking distance to anything you need in town.

I reserved a room in this motel the day before from Orbitz. While driving there, I noticed an email from Orbitz asking to rate my checkin experience. Of course, I call Howards immediately and spoke to a woman about how I got checked when I’m still driving there. She told me my name wasn’t even on any of the reservations and that they were booked solid for weeks and never should’ve shown as available. She assured I wouldn’t be charged as that is done at checkout. Later as I had time to digest the whole thing, I called her back to explain to me why I would get an email indicating that I checked in if my name wasn’t even on the reservations. It had to have been initiated somehow by them. She now says, oh wait, a bunch of rsvp just came through late and she now sees my name! Ok, really?? I told her too late, I already found other accommodations (thank G!) and now I just want my money back. She told me she would check with Orbitz about this and will call me back. Well of course I never heard from her so I called Orbitz directly to discuss the situation. They could not speak to why their system showed availability when apparently there was none. They also tried to call her to sort out the issue but said she wasn’t picking up either. Eventually Orbitz refunded me. I want to note, I have stayed at Howards several years ago (booked through Orbitz) and also booked many other trips through Orbitz and never ever had issues before! This was definitely very shady by Howards! BEWARE!!!

This is a no friĺs hotel. Just what we needed for our fishing trip to Glendo Reservoir. You get a free bag of ice for each day of your stay.

Easy check in, pretty quiet place, not far from Hwy. Not a bad place for a small town. Will definitely use this place again.
