National 9 Casper - Showboat

Mouse droppings under the pillows! Don’t stay here. We needed a cheap place for a few hours of sleep on a last-minute trip, and this one had average reviews and cost about $75. The room looked fairly clean at first, but one bed had cigarette burns despite being in a non-smoking room. There were mouse droppings on the bathroom floor and under our bed pillows. Since it was late and we needed to sleep, we put towels on the bed, used our coats as pillows, and slept at the foot of it. I called the next day to complain, but they didn’t seem to care and told me to contact Expedia because we’d booked through them. Expedia was nearly impossible to reach, so I’m not confident I’ll get any of my $75 back. I’ll never stay here again. I’d pay extra for somewhere clean.

The staff were kind the whole time, and I really enjoyed my stay. The rooms are a bit dated, but the mattresses are in good condition. The nightly rate seems high to me, though the weekly rates are good. I appreciated that they still have smoking rooms available, even if there aren’t many. Breakfast had good options, too.

The building is a bit run down, but the rooms are clean and the staff are helpful. The continental breakfast was a pleasant surprise, better than Super 8, Motel 6, or some other Indian owned motels.

The outside looked a little sketchy and honestly made me nervous, so they should fix it up. Inside, though, the lobby was cute and nice, and the room was very clean. Breakfast was better than I expected. For the price, I do recommend the business.
