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 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.
