Keep driving
We needed a place to stay near Craters of the Moon and Arco was pretty much it. The motel is a dump, but Katie at the desk was as accommodating as you can get. First room, the air c wasn’t working and the toilet seat needed to be put in the dumpster. Katie quickly agreed to change the room. The second one had god AC. The shower was scary and most of the furniture was broken. Don’t even think of waking on the carpet!

I really liked this old style motor court. Katie, the co-owner, was very nice and recommended sites to see and where to eat breakfast. While this seems counter-intuitive, it was nice to not have reliable WiFi--it allowed us to focus on our vacation and not listen to the news. Anyone staying there should know this is not a resort. It is a friendly, clean old-style motor court that is in an area with interesting sites to see (Craters of the Moon Nat'l Monument and EBR-1).

Ideal stopover location in Idaho
This Motel is situated on Highway 20 Idaho. Its in the middle of a desert. The town of Arco is small, however the welcome was huge. The managers are doing a great job of maintaining it in some really inhospitable temperatures 39 Celsius 103F. The room had an older air conditioning unit, it was noisy but worked really well. We turned it down through the night. They told us about a local bar restaurant that did excellent food and drinks.

Service is one thing, (lack of) cleanliness is ano
Very friendly manager. However, 2 things I didn't like. 1) other guests smoked outside my room. Had to run the AC all the time to combat the smell. 2) the microwave plate had dried food on it. Gross

Best place I've EVER stayed
Katie (the manager) is now one of my favorite people. My family and I broke down a couple miles outside of Arco. I called the hotel around noon to see if there was any chance we could get into a room early to get our kids out of the heat, within 5 minutes she was there to pick us up so we didnt have to walk!! She got us into a room right away, was beyond helpful and showed kindess that I haven't seen in years! The house keepers were also making their rounds, they stopped to check on us, gave us recommendations on local help with our car, everyone has gone out of their way to make sure we are taken care of. We are still currently checked in, they let us stay past the check out time so we didn't have to wait in town until we can get our car towed back to Montana. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to these incredible people! Apart from the hospitality, the room was super clean, quiet and had a "home" kind of feel! We just spent a week at hotels in Disneyland and I got better sleep HERE than I have all week! 10 / 10 recommend

There were some really dirty spots in the room. Also, the room smelled weird - it appeared some smoked in the room before. I also noted the windows have broken locks, which makes it easy for burglars.
