Well this one is a bit of a story…read more Wifey and I had been poking around in the Owyhees and decided to stop in on a Saturday to get some food. We were asked if we had reservations. We didn't. The owner told us that we needed them, but there were 4 people who ordered prime rib who hadn't showed up... and that she had to hold the dinners for them. We ordered a wine and beer. My beer... if it had been in the cooler, had been there for fewer than 5 minutes. We chatted and enjoyed the atmosphere and the locals telling tales for a while. The joy of hearing friends tell tales in a rustic hotel in the mountains shouldn't be underestimated. And then...the owner and her staff all came out of the kitchen with the prime rib on their plates. Now... she doesn't owe me anything and it's her business and they're truly free to enjoy a great meal that they prepared... but hey, I would have paid her for the prime rib. So, we laughed it off and had another drink and enjoyed more of the tale -telling Boiled down... The Good... The atmosphere The service from the staff The Meh... The tepid beer and service from the owner The Bad... We were left hungry and the owner ate right in front of us. So we drive to Melba for dinner at Buck's... look for my review of that later

You keep me from my work. Years from now, while I'm eating beans out of a can in my Chinook ... I'll thank you. This is a memory review. I will refresh said memory before the year is out and therefore I feel comfortable giving you this here now. A few years back a friend moved to Missoula. She left her belongings in storage and I, being a swell friend, promised to drive them up once she settled. And she did, so I did. I had never driven to Missoula before. It was unmapped territory. My kind of candy store. The dualies of the U-Haul left the superslab before Redding and touched them not again until just outside Montana. The initial high point was the look on the ranger's face in the Hart Mountain Antelope Reserve on the way to Steen's Mountain. The look, then the question as to whether I was lost (I wasn't), then the observation that they didn't get too many U-Haul's up that way. I was looking for hot springs. His expression softened to one of understanding. Steen's followed (Bradley I trust you know of the sublime beauty that is Steen's Mountain), then a valley along the faultline at the mountain's base, filled with memories of buffalo and the sweetest, hottest springs a body could ever desire. But dig this - it gets better. I overnighted in Jordan Valley and with my Basque supper (sheepherder bread and beans) I perused tomorrow's map and spied what appeared to be a ghost town just over the border in Idaho. 50 miles of graded road. On top of a mountain. Scooby sound. I lit out at first light. Graded skinny steep ass road it turned out to be. I contemplated turning back when the side mirror showed my right rear tire hanging over the abyss, but by then, clearly, it was too late. Long story short - the ranger's face in the reserve was nothing near the faces on the folks in Silver City. Just blank uncomprehension as I pulled over the 15% rise, Polly's belongings now covered in a layer of dust in the back. I share this secret only because I know most of you won't go. This is pretty much the sweetest ghost town I've ever seen. That you have to fight to get there is special; that folks are working to restore it, have turned it into a friendly somewhat spooky but not really, throwback to a century ago, is hella cool. That the Bruneau Dune, the highest/second highest (depends on how the wind blows) in the country is over the hill to the east, forgetaboutit. Ten zillion stars. Which, coincidentally, is but a fraction of what you see out these parts at night. Load the Conestoga loveys, drop me a PM. I'll hook you up with one of the best backcountry adventures you've ever been on. Ever.

However, I was very surprised when we started unpacking and found there were very few outlets in the room; FOUR to be precise and two of those were at the desk area, one of which was occupied by the clock radio. One side of the bed had NO outlets. Period. In this day and age with cell phones, tablets, iWatches, CPAP machines it is IMPERATIVE that there be an abundance of outlets. We both wear CPAP at night and that isn't an option. So I headed out to the desk to see if they could supply me with an extension cord. Fortunately they had ONE. That was it. Otherwise I was told "there's a Super Walmart down the road". Anyway, we're all set up for the night. And the room IS clean. There isn't a lot here in Mountain Home as far as hotels and they are all on the spendy side seeing as this isn't a resort. $150 a night is the most we've spent on our return trip and this is nearly 2x what I paid for a room last night and it HAD outlets at the bedside. Did I mention it was clean? At least it had that going for it. And it's right next door to The Wingery, a great restaurant!

There is a huge gravel lot out back that will keep your vehicle covered in sand and dirt. And the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on in your neighbors room. They cleaning ladies are are on the rude side and if you want breakfast you will have to go ask for a coupon to the restaurant next door every single day. And if you accidentally misplace your coupon... then try again tomorrow. They absolutely will not replace it regardless of the circumstances. There are two more hotel to choose from in this area but they are all owned by the same people and are way over priced. Next time I pay over 200 bucks a night it will definitely be in boise.

I arrived at 6:00 PM after driving for 8 hours. The counter employee told me that my room was next to where semi-trucks park. When I parked outside the room, several large busses were parked close by with their engines running. Hours later, their engines are still running. Not only can I hear them in the room, but they vibrate the floor where I'm typing on my laptop. When I went back to the lobby, I was told there were no other rooms available. I was told I couldn't get a discount on the room. She offered ear plugs, but that wouldn't affect the vibration from the busses. I don't know whether people from these busses are even staying at the hotel. The counter person said she wasn't allowed to tell me anything about the busses or their occupants. According to the fine print on the key card envelope, this hotel is "individually owned and operated." In other words, not owned by Best Western. I haven't been able to find who owns it and how to contact them, either on the hotel web site or otherwise online. It looks like I have no recourse. I paid $176.15 plus 5,000 accrued points for this room. This is not a Motel 6. I expect better accommodations and service at a Best Western.

Amazing service by a staff that are truly ambassadors for the brand and create an incredible atmosphere. The hotel is very clean and very inviting from the lobby to the rooms.

Rooftop was amazing and what a view. We also made reservations at the Supper Club and it too was incredible. Service was impeccable while not being overbearing.
