When you get off a train at one o'clock in the morning, and you don't have to wait until the 3.00 pm check-in time, believe me, you're grateful.

I had been worrying about this a bit, I'm very pleased management was so understanding.

For the record, my room was fine, clean and of a good standard.

Then disaster, an arctic storm hit America and my return train trip to L. A. was cancelled!

Staff were very supportive at this stressful time, supplying me with numbers for local taxi firms to help me get to the nearest airport. However, I had to make several calls and (not unhappily) expected to pay for them upon checking out.

Well, they were only local so I didn't have to. But it was nice to find that out. A bill I thought I'd have to pay, I didn't have to pay. In a small way, that made my day.

Not only that, Diana the manager let me hang around the lobby and even watch TV while I waited for my taxi. Such small kindnesses make all the difference.

If I can get my ESTA renewed and learn to trust Amtrak again, I certainly hope to return.

A very good day at the Inn.

The room was OK, but the breakfast is one of the worst we’ve ever been offered:(
Hint: they have a nice coffee machine in the lobby of the hotel
The breakfast was at a restaurant next-door, and looked like usual motel breakfast at first. However, they only had white bread to toast, the pancakes were inedible, and my spouse said it was the worst coffee he’d ever had.

I would recommend this hotel to travelers in Needles. The rooms were clean, did not smell and had no stains on the carpet or furniture. The location is great for getting on and off the freeway. There is some noise from the trains that travel by the hotel. It is not to bad. Breakfast had plenty of hot food. There were restaurants close making it easy to find a dinnern spot. Try the Wagon Wheel restaurant. Great atmosphere and food. I had one of the best steaks ever there.
