Randall, Winnfield

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Went to check in and NOBODY was present to check me in. I called the phone number listed on the building 3 times and got a voice mail asking me to give a number and she would call me back. I finally left and drove to Jackson, WY to get a room. I would NEVER recommend this place to anybody. Oh, it’s now Sunday, 6/30 @ 8am and she has not called me back yet.

A bit different
Room was fairly small. No dressers, chairs, hooks on wall to hang towels or clothing. Right next to main route so semis, trucks, etc woke us up wee early in mornings. Steep stairs to room so don’t carry luggage if any as there is no place to put it. Rooms are located above auto shop.

Not again
Hauling bags up 2 flights of stairs was hard. Despite help, tv never worked. Room cramped. Traffic noise annoying. Seashell decor well done , if entirely surprising for the locale.

The bed was terrible, left a day early and notified the manger that we were checking out she offered another room but could not take the chance it would be better. Ask fo refund said she would if she rented the room for the night. I checked website said no vacancies, and when i asked her about refund she said it had not rented yet site said it was so just another lie. I tied numerous times to get a refund but was ignored. Stay at yoyr own peril. Do not recommend

Great Stay
Much better room than the one my buddies stayed in in Jackson Hole and for a fraction of the price. This is not a cookie cutter hotel room, but very clean, modern bath and sink, and a decent bed (kinda soft mattress,but not an issue for me). Only real problem for people who have bad knees is that you have to walk up a long flight of stairs to get to the room. Never met hostess, but very responsive to texts and calls. You get a code to open the door to the room. I was rushed to get out my last day and forgot to leave a nice tip, so make sure you make up for my failure. The town is an hours drive from Jackson. Put the address in your GPS, cuz the building doesn't look like a hotel

A nice place to spend a night.
A really nice place especially if you like Bear stuff. It has a nice soft bed and a few stairs to get to it. We really liked it.

Very unusual motel, good location.
Ray’s Inn is one of kind. It’s not your typical motel. Once you book a room, you get an access code to your room and that’s it. No lobby, no clerk at the desk, heck, there is no desk. But it’s not bad at all. The room was small-ish but clean and was decorated in an Egyptian motif, very unusual but cute. The location is great. In walking distance to a restaurant, gas station, convenient store and a general store. It’s one hour from Grand Teton National park and 30 minutes from the Teton pass. I liked it, it suited my need and I was happy with it.

Really cute decor. Theresa was very responsive and helpful about finding a place for dinner and breakfast. We were not expecting so many stairs. Could use some more soundproofing.
