Laramie's BEST Budget Hotel? (You Won't Believe the Prices!)
Laramie's BEST Budget Hotel? (You Won't Believe the Prices!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans (and probably some coffee) on Laramie's… well, let's just say it, "Laramie's Best Budget Hotel" – and wow, the prices are mind-blowing! Forget those stuffy, wallet-draining hotels that make you want to cry into your continental breakfast. This place… this place is different. And trust me, I'm hard to please.
First Impressions (and a Few Whines):
Let's be real, the exterior wasn't exactly pulling out the red carpet. It’s… functional. Think solid, not spectacular. BUT! The moment I walked in, that "budget" vibe vanished. The lobby – clean! The staff – genuinely friendly, not that forced smile you get from some hotels. They were actually helpful. Shocking, I know.
Accessibility & Safety – Because We Need to Talk About This (and Should Always):
Okay, HUGE points here. I'm not even personally needing accessibility, but I always look at it because, frankly, it's important. This place gets it. Wheelchair accessible? Absolutely. The ramps were smooth, the elevators were spacious. Plus, they have facilities for disabled guests in a big way: they have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, so you feel safe. They are also very security [24-hour] and have fire extinguisher and smoke alarms. They also use Anti-viral cleaning products, have daily disinfection in common areas AND Professional-grade sanitizing services.
And the best part? Not just the accessibility, but the attitude. It felt like genuine care, not just a checkbox. Huge win.
Internet – The Lifeblood of the Modern Traveler (and a Few Rants):
Alright, alright, let's talk internet. Because let’s be honest, if your Wi-Fi sucks, you lose me. I need to update my Instagram with those killer selfies, and I also actually need to work from my laptop.
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes, ALL rooms! And get this… reliable! (!!!) No more buffering nightmares. There's also Internet [LAN], and of course the usual Internet services. This is gold, people. Seriously, it's the little things. Wi-Fi in public areas? Yep. Fast.
Rooms – Basic, But Beautifully So:
Now, the rooms. They're not five-star luxury, let's be clear. But they're clean. Super clean. Like, I'm talking, fresh-linen-smell-and-no-mystery-stains clean. That alone is a major win. And it's not just the cleanliness, there are so many of the little things. Like a reading light for late night reading. The additional toilet is also great.

They do have some non-smoking rooms, which is good because I can't handle smoke.
The bed… surprisingly comfortable! I actually slept, which is a miracle. They have the basics covered, and they do it well. Plus, you get Daily housekeeping. Can't complain.
Dining – Breakfast Burrito Bliss (and a Plea for More Coffee):
Okay, the breakfast. This is where things get… interesting. They have a Breakfast [buffet]. Good, solid options. Not Michelin-star worthy, but perfectly acceptable. They also have a Breakfast in room service. The real star, though? The breakfast burrito. I ate three. Don't judge me. Okay, judge away. They also have Coffee/tea in restaurant, and a Coffee shop.
They offer Room service [24-hour] – a lifesaver after a long day of… well, whatever you do in Laramie. There's a Snack bar for quick bites. If you wanted a fancy meal, they do have Restaurants, but I'm not sure how amazing they are personally.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Beyond the Hotel Walls (and a Tiny Bit of Disappointment):
Laramie itself has some cool stuff. They have a few outdoor venue for special events and a shrine for some photos. The hotel, doesn't have a spa, which is a bummer. No Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, or Swimming pool [outdoor].
They do have a Fitness center, but I'm not sure how much I would use it, I'd be too busy eating breakfast burritos.
Services and Conveniences – Where They Really Shine:
This is where this hotel really, really steps up its game. They have Air conditioning in public area. Audio-visual equipment for special events. Business facilities. Cash withdrawal. Concierge.

Cleanliness and Safety – Peace of Mind:
In today's world, this stuff matters. They take it seriously. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Doctor/nurse on call, and First aid kit. They're trying to make you safe.
Oh, One Annoying Little Thing… (Just Being Honest):
One minor gripe: while there's dedicated Car park [free of charge], it can get a little crowded at peak times. It's a small price to pay for everything else, though.
The Bottom Line – (Drumroll, Please!)
Look, if you're expecting the Ritz, you are in the wrong place. But if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable hotel in Laramie that actually delivers on its promises and has a genuinely friendly staff, you absolutely cannot beat this place.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a journey. Not just any journey, mind you, but a whirlwind romance with… drumroll please… Americas Best Value Inn Laramie, Wyoming. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Laramie? Wyoming? Sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry." And, look, I’m not gonna lie, you're probably not wrong. But that’s precisely what makes this adventure so… interesting.
(Day 1: Arrival & The Mystery of the Missing Remote)
Afternoon (ish): Fly into Denver. Okay, okay, that’s not Laramie. But it’s the closest major airport, and let me tell you, that layover gave me serious time to contemplate the existential dread that is airport food. $18 for a sad, dry panini? Highway robbery! Seriously, the sandwich should have been ashamed to call itself a panini.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: The scenic (and by scenic, I mean… well, it was a road) drive to Laramie. The landscape? Vast. The cows? Definitely there. The music on the radio? Mostly country. My emotional state? A confusing mix of anticipation and mild existential ennui. I mean, what even is the meaning of life when you’re hurtling down a highway towards a budget motel?
Arrival at Americas Best Value Inn (ABVI - let's call it that from now on, because I can’t keep typing the whole name): Honestly? Relief. It looked like a place to sleep. Check-in was painless, which is a bonus, because after that drive, my social battery was practically depleted. But then… the room. It… was a room. A room with a bed, a TV, and a… missing remote.
I searched. Under the bed (dust bunnies the size of small mammals). Behind the curtains (where I found something crunchy I really didn't want to identify). In the mini-fridge (because, why not? Desperate times…). No remote. This immediately set off a chain reaction of minor despair. Without a remote, how was I supposed to escape into the blissful oblivion of cable TV? This was going to be a long night.
Evening: Attempted a phone call to reception to request… another remote. It was a very humbling and embarrassing event.
Ended up reading a book. A real, physical, paper book. Something I rarely do anymore! It was actually… nice. And I also spent a good hour staring out the window at the parking lot. Thrilling, I know.
(Day 2: Laramie's "Charm" and the Burger Revelation)
Morning: Breakfast (included! Score!). It was… well, let’s just say the presentation wasn’t exactly Michelin-star quality. Think dry waffles, instant oatmeal, and coffee that tasted suspiciously like motor oil. But hey, sustenance is sustenance. Survival of the fittest, baby!
Mid-Morning: Brave the great outdoors (aka, venture out into Laramie). First stop: The University of Wyoming. Okay, the campus was rather pretty. The architecture was interesting. I walked around, did my best to look like a student, and mostly just felt like a tourist. I am a tourist, but still…
Lunch: Hit up a local burger joint (I'm not going to give the name, because, well, it probably wouldn't be right to tell you to all go to the exact place I ate). This wasn't just your average burger. It was a revelation. Juicy, flavorful, piled high with toppings. I ate it in under five minutes, and I'm not ashamed. This burger, my friends, saved the day. It erased the memory of the dry waffle and gave me the strength to, you know, continue living.
Afternoon: More wandering. Driving around. Saw a few more cows. Seriously, this town is full of them. I briefly considered adopting a cow, naming it "Laramie," and driving it back to my life. I quickly dismissed this idea.
Evening: Returned to ABVI. The remote? Still missing. My emotional state? A little less despairing, thanks to the burger. More reading, more looking at the parking lot. And then… I went to bed.
(Day 3: Departing (Gratitude for the Burger), and Embracing the Absurdity)
Morning: Final breakfast (waffles were still awful, but I knew what to expect). Checked out. Stared at the front desk lady for a solid minute. And I did not have the courage to ask her about the remote.
Early Afternoon: The (again, scenic) drive back to Denver. Reflecting on my Laramie experience. It wasn't picture-perfect; it was perfectly… imperfect. And the burger? The burger was a shining beacon of deliciousness in a sea of… well, let’s just say a land of… stuff.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Flight home. The airport food? Still overpriced (surprise!), but I didn't care. Because I had the memory of that burger. And the realization that sometimes, the most memorable travel experiences are the slightly off-kilter ones. The ones where the remote is missing, the waffles are terrible, and the cows are plentiful.
Overall Impression: Would I recommend Americas Best Value Inn Laramie? Look, it wasn't the Ritz-Carlton. But it was an experience. And hey, at least I had a story to tell. And I will always, always remember that burger. So, in conclusion, embrace the absurdity. The imperfections. And if you find yourself in Laramie, Wyoming? Go get a burger (but maybe bring your own remote).
Laramie's Best Budget Hotel? (You REALLY Won't Believe the Prices!) - My Honest Take
Okay, so first things first: WHAT hotel are we even talking about? Spill the beans!
Let's just picture it as a generically-named, slightly-worn, roadside motel. The type that sometimes has a "Vacancy" sign that's *half* working. You know the type.
Why budget? Are you, like, *cheap*? (Be honest!)
So, about those prices... Just how unbelievably cheap are we talking? Give me the numbers!
Okay, alright, so the price is good. But what about the room itself? Any horror stories?
What about the people? Was it full of shady characters?
Did you encounter any... *unpleasant* surprises? Like, bugs? Or... questionable odors?
Alright, the breakfast... was it *actually* complimentary? And was it edible?
So, the big question: Would you stay there again? And would you recommend it?
