Travelodge by Wyndham Gillette

After a long day on the road, this Travelodge was exactly the kind of place I needed to rest while passing through Gillette. The employees were great with customer service, the room was clean, and there was plenty of parking in a good location. You don't need to spend two or three times as much on a “better” hotel when this one has what you need for a peaceful night.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean and smelled fresh. The walls were thin, though, and we heard someone in the next room snoring all night. The toilet had dark, hard-water stains, and the shower pressure was low, probably because of hard-water buildup. I'd rate it four out of five.

The building and room are older, but everything was very clean and well kept. The bed and pillows were really comfortable, and the location was convenient. The front desk woman working at night when I checked in around 11 p.m. on June 15th was awesome and so sweet. Keep her on the team. Solid four-plus stars, and I'd stay here again on the way to the parks.

After the dirty place we stayed in Denver, which cost more and wasn't even half as nice, this hotel felt like going from one extreme to the other. The whole property and the rooms were clean and nice, and the service was helpful and great. Definitely would stay again.
