Travelodge by Wyndham Bill WY Thunder Basin Ntl Grassland

Not a bad place but know what you’re getting into. A hotel built for train employees to sleep at. It’s in the middle of nowhere so make sure you have everything you need before making your way to the hotel. Check in was through the diner which is at the front of the hotel. Staff was nice enough at check in Room was clean but small. Beds were pretty comfortable. It was very quiet. Almost creepily quiet. Going outside can seem a bit eerie at night but the property is well lit on all sides. There is a Union Pacific crew break room on site. Looked nice but I could only see through the window. WiFi and satellite tv worked surprisingly well considering remoteness. We had dinner at the diner. It was tasty; similar to Waffle House. Dinner for two with juice was $33. Some folks complained online it was pricy but I suppose I’m use to that type of pricing back home in Denver. Loved the playful sass and banter from the employees. Our cook (who doubled as the hotel front desk) asked us to not order anything difficult to make. Ha! She confirmed our orders were simple enough. If you’re passing through, I’d recommend a stop here. Just know you’re limited to food from a diner and vending machine. (Odd item in the vending machine next to the candy: canned fish?)

If you are a Railfan then this area on the Wyoming Coal Lines is best place to watch trains and staff in Bill are great!! Also at the hotel and diner in Bill you can meet all the train engineers. My son loves to Railfan. This is our favorite place to go every year !!

We were travelling back home to Saskatchewan from Colorado and needed a place to crash for the night. This place is literally in the middle of nowhere. But it was clean and had comfortable beds. Just what we needed and when we woke up in the morning they had a cool 50s style diner on property for a delicious breakfast.

The staff at Penny's diner and Travelodge are beyond the best! They remembered us from our stay last year and they catered to our every want. Their food is amazing and their staff is friendly and welcoming.

Our stay was great only because of the girls that work there are awesome and the place is kept nice and clean by them The owners are cheapskates They don’t have free breakfast as advertised they don’t have coffee makers in the room forcing you to pay 4.79 for two coffees This is the only motel I’ve ever stayed at that charges the guest for coffee and not only charges for it but gouges you on it
