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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dated and filthy. I would drive for another two hours rather than stay here again. This place should be shut down by the city. It is unsanitary and falling apart.

Very smelly room, did insects in the room. A lot of noise from the truck stop, plus the necessity of checking into the room at 8:00 stop with a lot of customers doing their transactions. Terrible pillows mangy old towels. Seriously do not recommend this place.

It was a very odd feeling -- as though no one every stayed there. The linens, room, and bathroom were clean, yet still an eerie feeling as though discarded. Mine was the only car in the lot and I was informed at check in (which occurs at/by the gas station cashier) that there were no other rooms available. Perhaps the rooms are only cleaned once all have been used.
There is no WiFi and very limited TV. Overall, not the worst place to stay if you need the location. However, I recommend driving 25 minutes into Pocatello.

This was horrible! No Wifi or TV as advertised...refrigerator was filled with old food from who knows when. Clerk couldnt even check us in, no acess to a manager or anyone to help. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and canceled booking! Scary location and other guests were as unhappy as we were! Remove them from your app !

I was unaware that there was a check in time and I arrived after closing. I begged the closing clerk to allow me to get into my room, but he was very unpleasant about my late arrival, which was absolutely unintentional.
Toilet did not work, and when I asked for a discount I was told "can't do that"
