One of the reviews for this place said that they didn't accept animals so I didn't even give them a call when looking for a room. That review was either wrong or they changed their room policy. They DO accept pets.
The town of Price's cheap end motels all had horrible reviews as did most of the towns and cities north of here. So I had just about resigned myself (and my two dogs) to a couple hours of fitful sleep in the car at a pull off or something.
-I'm driving cross country and have a budget to adhere to so I can't stay at nicer motels/hotels. Which is fine with me. -
Anyways, as I was driving through Price, and passed this little motor inn style place with a vacancy sign and figured what the hell, I know that it said they don't accept pets but they looked empty and I figured I could haggle a little.
Was greeted in the lobby by a nice lady. Her husband (?) then came in and they both helped me out. The room was around 40$ and then $5/ pet. So a total of about $50 bucks. Perfect for me. I asked if check out was 11am. They both said that I could check out basically whenever I wanted. Cool.
Upon entry of my room I was a tad disappointed. But not overly so. The room is about the size of an average bedroom. Maybe 10x8 or a little bigger? I'm bad at guessing. The bathroom is about the size of, well, it's small. Just a toilet and stand up shower. The bathroom sink is a pedestal sink in the bedroom.
Itty bitty fridge and microwave.
I will say that last night when I stayed at Americas Best Value Inn in Socorro,NM
I paid about the same price (after haggling them down a little) for a huge room that was a little bit more updated. But that was a different state.
PROS:
+Cheap
+Pet friendly
+Lovely people running it.
+Direct tv
+Free wifi that works well
+Motor in style, I like being able to see my car right outside of my room
+ squishy comfy pillows
+nice sheets
+ loved the comforter.
Cons:
-Small. Super small
-Only toiletries are a hand soap and shower soap. Both in bar form.
- the floorboard heater is literally falling apart (not sure if this is how you heat the room or if heat is run through the a/c unit)
- the a/c is falling apart (but works)
- remote does not control the tv. Just the direct tv box
- itty bitty tv, but it fits the room
If you are just looking for a cheap,simple, and CLEAN place to crash and take a shower then this is it. Suited me fine. read more
