Rolled into town at midnight after our vehicle was having engine issues. Stopped at the Malad hotel, it was locked with no one in sight but I called the number and someone was there in 10 minutes to let us in and get us a room. Room was clean and for a good price. Highly recommend!

Such a great experience. The owner Rick was quite accommodating. We did not have a room reserved and showed up after 10 pm. He was so nice, helped us check ourselves in, and to top it all off we locked ourselves out of our room at like 1 in the morning and he answered the phone and was super nice about it. Would def recommend.

Great location if you are in Malad for business or want to explore the town. You get what you paid for, this is not a chain hotel, it has a small staff operating it and the bar downstairs. (You need to call the number on the front door to get checkin service, but the lady is onsite, not a big wait). The single rooms have a queen size bed, a fridge, microwave, a TV and a table with 2 chairs. While the room walls are pretty bare, the small bathroom had stone tiles that have it more character. The shower pressure could be better. There is also a window AC for when it's too hot. Despite the low temperature outside during the night (Sept), the temp in the room stayed pretty constant.

We called around ten thirty on a Friday night and got a room reserved. We got there around eleven and was greeted by a very personable friendly man. For being an older hotel in an older town it was REALLY NICE!!! Don't let the outside fool you. It's recently been redone and was very clean and smelled nice. Easy parking and access. Very affordable and we had a fridge and coffee and hot coco in our room. We highly recommend!!!!!! Thanks for a great experience for ya and our kiddos.
