What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We want to thank the owner as he honestly bent over backwards to ensure our stay was comfortable!!! I going them on Internet as we as pulling into town and it was like 3 motel from the freeway so I started calling motels and he had a room and so we got there and it was a little out dated but if you just want a clam place to smell and eat (restraint on site) and drink a beer this is YOUR place to stay. The restaurant that is on site is a Chinese restaurant. There for was excellent as well as the service.”
“Looks can be deceiving. Riding our motorcycles through Soda Springs in a thunderstorm we had to stop for the night. There was no available lodging in town except for Trails Inn Motel. The manager bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable. I have to clarify this motel is a very rustic motel, however, it was extreemly clean. I even pulled the sheets to check the matress and found it spotless. All linen was clean and we were warm and dry. Also, the price was great and the attached Chinese restaurant was yummy!”
“Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Affordable. Close to all the amenities in town. Wiling to accommodate late/early check-in and check-out. Easy to use code access. If you are comfortable making your reservation online or over the phone, you won’t have any problems.”
“I was quite satisfied with my stay here. I stayed one night to check the place out as it looks closed, I was surprised to find the rooms quite clean and well maintained. If your picky or used to staying in a best western holiday inn or whatever, you won’t like this place. I have zero complaints, the service was friendly, the place was quiet, I work in Town and live out of state and I will be staying here from now on when I’m in town. I took pics so you can judge for yourself.”
