“My wife had a very long day, a Saturday, getting up at 3 am at our home in Boise, ID, flying to Denver to purchase a car, then driving it back to our home. I asked AI what a good halfway point would be for us to bed down for the night, and Evanston, WY, was recommended. On our drive up, I researched the hotels in Evanston and settled on the Holiday Inn Express, based on the reviews.
I was able to get a room with two queen beds at a very reasonable rate. We rolled into Evanston about 9:30 pm. Parking is free and there is plenty of it. Weston was at the front desk, a very friendly gentleman who had been working hard but was still personable and attentive. He very graciously, and without asking, put us on the third floor away from I-80.
There are a few restaurants within walking distance, and the one we patronized, The Lincoln Highway Tavern, I recommend.
Our room was clean, a must for my wife, spacious, and very nice. The beds were reasonably comfortable (I never sleep well away from home), and the room had the usual amenities, including a mini fridge, microwave, and hairdryer. The bathroom shower was a standard size, the water was hot and the pressure was adequate, and the bathroom fan worked well. It was very quiet; no complaints of noise.
We did partake of the complimentary breakfast, which was open at 6:30 on Sunday, earlier than I'm used to, but very much appreciated since we wanted to get on the road quickly. The coffee was decent, the OJ yummy, and the scrambled eggs and biscuits were OK. The bacon was crispy but lukewarm, and the sausage, like so many hotels, appeared to be steamed instead of grilled, and was cold. The Hispanic woman attending the breakfast area was very nice. The female desk clerk checking us out was also pleasant.
In the future, on trips to visit our son and his wife in Ft. Collins, we would definitely stay here again. It's a gem.”
“This motel is outstanding! The rooms are very clean. Service is phenomenal. The provided breakfast was great.
The rooms are a bit retro, but this adds charm. We will stay here again.”

“This hotel is not new, not modern and not fancy. However, if you're a traveler and you need a safe, secure and clean place to stay for the night this hotel fits the bill at a very good price. Excellent value for the money. Friendly greeting, clean, quiet room and reasonable choices for breakfast items in the morning. This is a 2 star property with 5 star value. Would stay again on a road trip.”
“This was an absolute gem of a motel and for the price it can't be beat! I've stayed at far worse hotels and motels for 2-3x the price. I love the 70s interior, the furnishings were updated recently, it was very clean, and the front desk was so nice when we showed up late at night with no reservation. We will definitely stay here again!”
