Hi I am the General Manager here at the Best Western in Thermopolis WY. I am very sorry this was your experience. We are all unaware of the fire alarm in the middle of the night. I will definitely be looking into this. Feel free to contact the hotel so we can figure out what has happened.

We stayed for one night. Location is convenient and close to swimming pools, free parking. Serve tea and coffee all day. Almost no noise insulation, you can hear people outside and in the next room, snoring))) But we were so tired so it didn’t bother us. Pretty clean room and good organic amenities.

The staff was so nice and helpful. The man who cooked the breakfast was extremely polite and helped with information and history about the area. Breakfast there was really good. The water, milk, juice options, hot cookies, and coffee throughout the day/night time was a blessing! We enjoyed the hot springs hot tub daily! We enjoyed being right in the park so close to the boardwalk, swimming options and historical sites.

I am very sorry this is the experience you had. We work hard at providing the best service we can to ensure our guest a good experience. We will follow up with our third party representative to fix the underlying issue. We experienced technical issue that left our actual rooms and the rooms available online to be out of sync.

We showed up to the property completely exhausted. My wife checked us in and let our kids nap not knowing exactly what I had booked. I was at a wrestling tournament with our oldest. She then notified me that the room was a basic room with two double beds. We had reserved a king suite so that everyone would be accommodated. I notified the front desk of my issue to which they blamed Expedia. Front desk was adamant that Expedia was at fault and there was nothing they could do. I reached out to Expedia via virtual chat. The first person I talked to in The chat treated me like I was an idiot and blamed the entire fiasco on the hotel. The first virtual chat person left the chat mid solution after making me insanely frustrated and without a solution. I had to begin a brand new chat with Expedia and was again told that the hotel was to blame and that I was somehow at fault but in no way was Expedia at fault. The only solution Expedia could offer for my $170 dollar room was a $50 Expedia cash voucher to be used through Expedia only. The best western plaza then charged me for the pre paid room when we checked out for $219 after we had pre paid through Expedia. Overall the experience was terrible. We go to that hotel annually but I feel like we have visited for the last time. Expedia has lost my business as well. Customer service is no longer a thing. It’s a lost art. What a whiny review over a simple thing that could’ve been completely resolved with refund rather than blame.

Our stay was comfortable. We have always enjoyed staying at this property. However, due to a problem with the third party we used to pay the hotel there was trouble running our card for the deposit. I called the third party and was told they would call the hotel. They did not call. The next day the GM told us we would have to pay for the room again or she could not check us out. I believe she felt that the whole matter was our fault because we used a third party.She kept telling us we would have to fix it. I called the third party again and fortunately the woman I spoke with straightened the matter out without us paying for the room again. I will say the young woman who checked us in was very pleasant and did what she could to resolve the issue.

Dirty
Room was a mess when we arrived... french fries behind the chairs, ants and hair in the bathroom, no soap (and when asked for basic hand soap was told they were out??). This hotel needs serious help from Best Western in the cleanliness department. The floors in the rooms have no carpet, therefore should be swept daily, this is definitely not the case. The folks working the front desk were kind and were trying their best. Also when we arrived we were told they overbooked the hotel so they downgraded my room choice without downgrading my room rate. I will absolutely not be staying here again.

Convenient for a weekend fishing trip. Bed was comfortable, but heat lamp in bathroom was not working and couldn't get the portable space heater to work. the interior rooms are loud--you can hear people talking loudly in the hot spring/courtyard until quiet hours begin. The door to the rooms slams loudly as does each room door in your quad. Breakfast is underwhelming. Tried to make a cup of tea, but the hot water carafe was empty.

Cool old building, great breakfast, some problems
The hotel, hot tub, and breakfast were great. I was really happy to find many dairy-free options at breakfast! The hot tub was lovely and relaxing. We enjoyed our time, but there were a few issues. The manager wasn’t someone we’d want to work for. When we saw her, she was sitting around on her phone or scolding an employee. She was nice to us, but we wouldn’t want to work under her. The crown molding beside the table in the breakfast room was pretty thick with dust - kinda gross. Our daughter spent all night coughing, which leads us to wonder about mold because she seems sensitive to that. It’s an old historic building, and the screws above the shower were rusty, so mold seems likeliest. All in all, we won’t stay there again.

I was not given the room I booked. When I complained I was told first that there are only two such rooms in the hotel, implying that I was not allowed such a room. Then that there was a problem with the room I booked and it was unavailable. Then that a family had that room and has been there for five days and could not be moved. Then finally, that they are “allowed” to substitute rooms without notice if a room is comparable which mine was not in any way. Had I not complained I would have been charged the same price for a room I did not get. They are terrible. Finally the room I was in had not had the bathroom cleaned. There was hair all over the floor. The toilet seat was soiled and so worn that the underlying wood was showing through. Really really terrible.

Disappointed in Thermopolis!
We usually stay across the street but thought we would treat ourselves and spend the extra money. It was NOT worth it! We waited 45 minutes to check in. The room was NOT clean. The hallway was dirty. It looked like they had swept the rooms and forgot to sweep the hallway. The toilet was not clean and there was a spider web complete with spider and bugs in the bathroom’s main corner. The bed would not stay on the box spring. Every time you got up it slid off. All in all a disappointing stay.
