Traveling from the Black Hills in South Dakota to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, this lodge is an oasis in the plains of Wyoming. Located just off the main highway artery 80, it is a quiet place to spend the night. The decorations in the lodge and the wooden sculptures in front of the lodge provide a nice 'western' atmosphere, and so was the room with the large handcrafted wooden bed. The manager's advice to have dinner at Buck's Sports Grill in the town center nearby was brilliant. We had excellent steaks and beers at a modest price in a friendly local setting. Both the lodge and the restaurant made us feel at home, and welcome, after a very long drive.

Breakfast was basic, but there are other breakfast places nearby as well as a Walmart.

The location worked well for a one night stop along I-80. Interesting driftwood sculptures outside. Price was lower than average because it IS an older motel. If you want newer, then expect to pay 50% more for your room. Beds were comfortable.

View from the room was the railroad yard. It was really interesting to watch however. There were three tracks and trains were moving both ways on them and they were really long trains. Windows looked like they could open, but the noise would have been noticeable. No breakfast and minimum choices nearby. Would not recommend for a multiple night stay.

You are getting a very old, outdated motel room with carpets that must be 30 years old for about the cheapest price you can find in Rawlins. That said, it's my second stay here so it's my go-to place in town. I wouldn't bring my wife here, but I don't mind that everything's old. It's like a vintage place we would have stayed at as kids in the 70's, complete with the sign out front advertising "RCA color TV." The AC and wifi work well, the beds are comfortable enough, and you get a hot shower. I sleep well here and it's very convenient as a traveler. I wish it was about $20 cheaper, but everything is inflated now.

You know what you are getting when you stay here so you can't really complain.

Mike was extremely helpful and friendly. We had a tire blow out yearly in the day. When I called to tell him we would be getting in late, he stayed up to greet us to make sure everything was ok. True customer service at it's best!

It was just a little dated and old. But I would not say that bothered me much. I like supporting smaller Mom and Pops places. I did not expect the accommodations to be as updated =, like when you stay at a national chain Hotel.

Location was perfect, no road traffic noise. there is a railroad that runs along the back but I think I only heard it once early in the morning, otherwise surprisingly very quiet. Felt safe, pet friendly, plenty of parking. I called ahead to give them an idea of what time I'd be checking out. Bed was comfortable, and for the price the place was exactly what you pay for in a kind way. It is a very outdated hotel and has its charm to it. I like the decor, and while it would be good for them to do some upgrades to the place, I would stay there again if looking for a basic place to get the rest I need while on the road.

would be nice to see it updated.

I called ahead to let them know I was running way behind schedule, and Mike was super accommodating with a very late-night check-in after a long day of travel. He even wrote a personal thank you note which was waiting for me upon arrival! The customer service was more than I could ask for. The room was comfortable and the bed was cozy. The overall vibe of the Rowlins Western Lodge is quaint and inviting. I would definitely stay here again in the future if my travels bring me back through Wyoming!

I didn't expect my room to be a good as I thought. From the outside it looked as if it would be like the hotels in the movies. My bed was very "kingly"! This is the first hotel that I woke up and my body wasn't sore. The hotel was very quiet and EVERYTHING WORKED.

No coffee maker in the room...or maybe I didn't look hard enough for it.????

Arrived after a 14 hour drive and the gentleman at the front desk already had our room key ready. Gave us a room on the second floor as requested. Best check-in ever! It's a quaint, dated motel so everything is old. But it's clean, you get a hot shower, wifi works well, and it's great for a night.

To be honest, this should be a $55-$65 a night motel--but inflation has made even motels like this more expensive. For the area, though, it's a great option.

What a fun place! Barbara Jean welcomed us as if it were her home. Daisy too! Mid-century mod but clean, quiet, and convenient to multiple hiways. We avoid chain motels—especially those with numbers in their names—so sometimes we end up in questionable places. But not the RWL—we loved it!

Nothing.

The lodge is old and outdated. It was very clean and the beds while not the most comfortable were clean and the sheets were very comfortable. It’s kind of funky but I was comfortable enough.

It’s very old! The carpet was worn,very few outlets and none for charging.
