The Snoozzz Inn
"Location was OK, but will be nicer when restaurant is open and new fence up. Hot water in shower did not last long enough for a good hot shower; towels had stains although they smelled clean. Toiletries were nice and plentiful. Need to put directions for the room coffee machine.!"

Bear River Casino Resort
"Our room was clean and reasonably quiet considering how close we were to the elevator. We stayed at the same time as a wedding and another graduation in the area. So, they were completely booked. Parking was a breeze, never had much use for the air conditioning. Our bathroom was bigger than expected. ..."
