Our stay at this hotel was mixed. The property itself was acceptable but clearly dated. The room was relatively clean, but there were several maintenance and comfort issues that affected our experience. The wall-unit air conditioner cycled on and off throughout the night and was loud enough to wake me repeatedly. The room also had harsh fluorescent lighting with visible dead bugs inside the fixture, and there was peeling paint on some of the ceiling panels.

The biggest issue, however, was our interaction with the owners. Due to a miscommunication between my partner and me, we accidentally double-booked a room about 48 hours before our stay. We didn’t realize the mistake until check-in and asked whether they would consider refunding all or part of the second room. They declined, saying they make all of their money during the summer and could have rented the room to someone else.

I understand that our booking error was our responsibility and that businesses have policies. However, rooms were still available and had been significantly discounted the day before our stay, and while possible, I doubt they would have been able to rent it.

What disappointed me most was the tone of the interaction. When I said I would leave an honest review, the owner responded that this was “sh*tty” and said that it was our mistake and not their fault. While I agree the mistake was ours, I expected a more professional response.

Overall, I would not stay here again nor recommend it to others.

The Carter Motel was a wonderful small inn where we stayed while spending a few days in the tiny town of Ten Sleep. The owners/hosts were super gracious and made the stay extra special. The homemade breakfasts were delicious! They offered other small amenities that made a big difference: cookies at check-in, (million dollar bars were to die for!), chocolates in your room. I highly recommend the Carter Motel, and hope to return someday!

I found the Carter Inn very pleasant and welcoming. I stayed two nights and I will stay again if the need arises. The room was clean, bed comfy and the decor fit the surroundings of Ten Sleep.
The breakfast was yummy and home cooked, so no powdered eggs! The bread was fresh baked, along with fresh caramel cinnamon rolls and pear and yogurt options.
The parking was adequate for the number of rooms that they have.
Also, they offer home baked cookies at check in and they were so good. I purchased more for the trip home.

We stayed for one night and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts are so helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay a positive experience.
The rooms are very comfortable with small extra touches such as chocolate in the fridge, bath robes and an ice cream when you arrive. Parking is easy, just outside of the rooms and there is a garden area where you can sit in the shade.

Breakfast was delicious and home cooked. You won’t leave hungry! We also had the chance to chat with the hosts and other guests.
The property is within walking distance of several places to eat and the hosts will explain where they all are on the Main Street.

We arrived two hours before check-in, hoping to leave our bags a cooler, and were greeted with \"you know there's no early check-in\" from the person we later learned was the owner. Our room was almost uninhabitable. The air conditioner did not work, and the sun beating down on it raised the temperature to well over 90. It never cooled off. There was no table in the room, almost no room to do anything else. Ice was difficult to come by, the owners were never around, chimes outside kept us up all night. Hard to understand what people like about the place. I guess since there's no competition they can do what they want and charge what they want.
