Gas station, Restaurant and convenience store on property. Other than that pretty much isolated. A clean room to sleep and clean up in. Had a power problem in the first room that I was put into, but they quickly moved me to another room and everything was fine.

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 😊

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.

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.

The guy who checked us in was very welcoming and informative. It was quiet. Thankful for the blackout curtains cuz the lights at the gas station are flood lights facing the hotel. There's no such thing as mountain view there.

While the rooms are a bit rustic, there was a certain charm of nostalgic roadside Americana that I loved about this place. I had extra time so I spent the evening soaking at the Lava Hot Springs a little further up I-15. Perfect for a one-night stopover.

Great affordable property, just an fyi the reports of no TV are true and in an area with nothing but a gas station a working tv would have been nice….nothing fancy but that’s what you pay for… loved the cafe associated with the hotel

Flags West was an excellent choice: The place is not fancy, BUT, . . .the room was clean; the Bed was firm (not broken-down); and even though the description did NOT indicate a complimentary breakfast, they provided a voucher for breakfast at the associated diner. All-in-all, this was an extremely good value.

While traveling, I was in an accident due to a snow storm and was late getting to the hotel. I tried calling and no one answered. Upon arrival, the "lobby" (a gas station) was closed. I again called and no one answered. I was unable to get into the hotel room and had to find another hotel.
