What guests think

Motel 8 Laramie is an older, no-frills roadside motel where many guests highlight clean rooms, comfortable beds, and friendly staff at a good price, while noting dated decor, minimal amenities, and some upkeep issues like rough parking.

Location is convenient just off I-80 with parking near rooms and a Mexican restaurant next door, though several mention the surrounding area feels a bit run-down. Rooms are basic and dated yet often spacious and comfortable; a few note noisy exteriors, limited bedside outlets, and occasionally unreliable Wi-Fi or HVAC. There is no breakfast on site, but coin laundry is available and the property is pet-friendly with limited grassy areas. Expect a clean, budget stopover with basic comforts and few extras.

This is a great place to rest for the night. Pets welcome, but not too pet friendly as far as a place to take care of business. Lacking grassy area. But reasonably priced and comfortable. Conveniently located.

The hotel is conveniently close to the highway and a short drive to downtown Laramie, where there are dining options. The staff was friendly and efficient. There are minimal amenities and no breakfast. We did appreciate the laundry facilities. The parking lot is in bad shape and needs to be resurfaced. We liked that we had a first floor room, which enabled us to pull right up to the door.

Some pretty run down hotels in the area and this one was no different. But, room was clean, hot water, mini-fridge. Easy access to freeway. We brought a dog, and nice little pet area down the street a block. Would stay again if travelling through the area.

Hotel was very adequate for the price. Front desk was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was that the beds were incredibly squeaky. If anyone turns over in the night, the whole room wakes up. We had a two queen room and both were very noisy.

The room was spacious and extremely clean. The king size bed was very comfortable. Although it is dated, the room had everything you need for a comfortable stay- coffee maker, fridge, microwave, fluffy towels, and a flat screen tv located with easy viewing from the bed. The shower has an adjustable head to get just the right flow of water for your preference. Great location, right off the interstate. We were glad to experience such a nice place during graduation weekend when it was hard to find a room at a decent price point.

The bed and room were fine for an overnight stay. There was no stopper in bathtub but just took a shower instead. Also no fault of hotel but the nature of motels where outside room is the parking lot, I woke up multiple times to people talking outside and truck noises. I would still try to stay here again as location makes it fast to get downfown and it is much more affordable than elsewhere in Laramie.

This was an older property but it was well kept up and clean. I hadn’t asked for an accessible property and the only 1st floor room they had was a pet friendly room but you would have never known it. All of the staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. I would definitely stop there again if I was in the area.

Bed was comfy, plenty of pillows. It was cold last night and the heating didn't work in the room - the desk offered to change rooms, no problem, but I'd already settled in (with my cat) and then the desk clerk offered a space heater instead. Great idea! I didn't have to change rooms and the heater was plenty warm enough. I like effective listening from staff and this young lady totally heard me!

The motel doesn't look to be spectacular viewing area around it, but we've stayed here three or four times now and the rooms have been so much more spacious and clean than some of the higher end chains we've stayed at throughout the country. Staff has always been exceptional, too. Only thing that would add to it would be a breakfast!
