| - The plan was to leave at o'dark thirty to Moab from Southern California. We were looking at a 13-14 hour drive. So when my girlfriend suggested we start our drive the evening before, I was down. I was thinking we were gonna spend the night in Baker, but we pushed on. It was getting late and I knew we were going to have to crash in Vegas. I wasn't in the mood for any of the strip crap, so we decided Nellis had to have some motels to choose from. The first place we tried, had rooms, but no non smoking rooms and the couple in front of us were trying to get a refund because their non smoking room smelt like an ashtray. We walked away and tried another place around the corner. Sold out. We then called another place and they also were sold out. When we called HIE, they had rooms available. We were not to far away and we pulled right in.
It was close to midnight and the guy at the front desk was nice and courteous. Room was a little pricey (around $140), but we needed a bed. We unloaded our stuff and headed to our room. The room was clean and fresh. It definitely was a step above some of the places we stay when we're out on our adventures. This place reminded me of a place a business man going to a conference would stay at on his companies dime. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was quite roomy. The room came with a fridge, microwave, and wifi standard. It may have had an iron and hair drier, I can't remember.
Breakfast bar was nice. Standard continental style breakfast items with sausage patties and an assortment of rolls. Why is there never any bacon? Place was clean and the other staff I ran into that morning were also courteous.
Like I said, it was a little pricey, but it was a Saturday night and overall we had a pleasant stay.
