"The grounds were ok. The problem was with the room. Not sure why (maybe the carpet, as it was dirty), but the room had a distinct unpleasant odor."

"A very basic motel, convenient to get to Craters of the Moon. Not many motels in the area. Room was large enough and adequate for one night. I would suggest putting small coffee makers in each room as there is no coffee or breakfast available nearby."
