The motel itself is older, but clean and homey. Check-in & check-out are done at the store. We were given free breakfast cards for the cafe there & it was really good! Great cook who knows how to fry bacon!! Thank you 😊

Employee who handled check in was very nice but it's weird checking in at the truck stop. Our first room was pretty scary... blinds broken, no curtains. When we plugged in the hanging lamp, it popped a breaker, no lights except in bathroom. They did move us to another room which had been remodeled and was very nice. Just a quirky kind of stop. We needed to stop where it was located so worked out good. Truck stop was very nice place.

We were looking for just an average roadside motel but Flag's West was better than expected. Room was small but room was clean and beds comfy. Room included a coffee maker, microwave, fridge, and staff even moved us to a room with a large TV. Check-in is done at the convenience store next door which also includes a restaurant. The best part of our stay had to be the staff. Everyone we interacted with at the store or restaurant were very friendly and pleasant. We even got free breakfast with our room. We will be staying here again.

For those who might consider staying here, they have to do the check in at the Shell gas station near by. Alex was great and attentive. The rooms do not have Queen beds as advertised, but overall was fairly good.

TV was not available 😢, it was not hooked up to a satellite. They said they could use my phone for a hot spot. I'm not using my personal items for something that should be already in house. We had to leave earlier because caretaker had to unexpectedly return to duty. No way to contact booking and request a refund for one day.

the only problem we had was that flag west motel didn't get our payment for the room from and we had to take another thirty minutes out of our mini-vacation to secure a refund from you.

I have never been to a motel like that. The reception was so rude and she wasn't helpful at all. The computer was broken when we got there and we left there without checking and the funny part was that it wasn't refundable.

It was not 15mi to Lava Hotsprings. More like 45mi to Lava. Super scary with barely a functioning lock. Couldn't stay there, ended up having to pay for another hotel and uable to get a refund.

Had to check in at gas station. Attendant admitted the room had most likely not been cleaned due to very low staff. No tv in room either. We cancelled the reservation but were still charged by Expedia.com

Not good
Very smelly room, did insects in the room. A lot of noise from the truck stop, plus the necessity of checking into the room at 8:00 stop with a lot of customers doing their transactions. Terrible pillows mangy old towels. Seriously do not recommend this place.

We were not able to check in per the manager on duty as they had not been able to get the rooms cleaned due to employee shortages and problems with the help they had. They said we would not be charged. We expect Expedia to reimburse us asap please. It was an inconvenience to have to drive further and try to find a last minute room on a weekend night!

I knew the property would have a desolate feel considering it’s out in the middle of nowhere of Idaho. Kind of sticks out like a sore thumb because it’s just in the middle of a dirt parking lot with fields around it. I picked up the keys to the room at the gas station adjacent to the parking lot. The rooms were clean the bedding was clean the beds were decent came with a fridge and microwave. There is nothing around the facility except for a restaurant is inside the gas station which served a full menu and was decent. It was only a 20 minute drive to lava Hot Springs and it worked out great.
