Charlotte
Very comfortable lodging and a good value, especially since they provide a complimentary breakfast at the restaurant on property - eggs, sausage or bacon, hashbrowns, toast, juice and coffee, or other options to choose from. Plus you can take a selfie with a green alien!! 👽
Wenonah
The rooms are updated and clean (sheets covering a comforter- no dirty bedspreads! Laminate floors - so no crusty carpets) The wall unit AC was very cold! But also quite noisy. I’ll take the cold air. If you are traveling without earplugs what are you doing? The quirky space theme was the icing on the cake. Made me smile. The free made to order diner breakfast was a nice change from the usual self service breakfast buffet at most hotels.
Marsha
My family was a little skeptical when I booked the room there, but we all were very pleased when we arrived. The room was very clean. We had plenty of towels. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the space theme.
Martin
They advertised having a pool but at check in they said their pool was closed which was a deal breaker and trying to cancel with Expedia was intentionally a pain.
Mireille
Unique and fun visit.
Barb
Liked the themed restaurant. Wait person was great. Also, the grounds around pool area (withe interesting birds)was fun place to walk our little dog.
David
AC worked too loudly. So I couldn’t sleep all night.
Kansas
The breakfast at the restaurant was great! They give you a $10 voucher to use towards your breakfast there.
deedra
Beds were nice to sleep on. Room was clean. The swimming pool was not clean at all. Would have recommended anyone to swim in it. Lots of scum on the bottom and all around in the water.
TANYA
This wasn’t our first time staying at this kitschy motel.
Timothy
Great place to stay, very nice room and the dinner was very convenient. The spacey melt (Patty Melt) was good, and the breakfast was good also.
Samuel
Room wasn’t clean a little bit. We smelled something in the room. Check in and check out was nice though. Breakfast coupons were confusing. Parking is right in front of the rooms which is great. Over all wasn’t bad and it was quite too.
Laura
I enjoyed my stay. Will be back.
Mark
Room was clean! Breakfast was way more then we expected! Staff was friendly! I only wish the gift shop had an array of stickers to choose from!😉
Lekh
For the price it wasn't worth it. I would drive our of my way to not stay in Gila Bend for the price I paid stay Best Western. Expedia said breakfast was included, but when I went there, they said they offer was discontinued.
Only reason why I overpaid there, was breakfast. It was a rip off.

ALICIA H.
This was an unexpected stay for us as we traveled late at night nearly ran out of gas but made it to this little town where we filled up and decided to just stay for rest for the night.
We were very grateful to have a Best Western. It was reallllyyy uniquely decorated with a Huge Space Ship on the Office Building roof along with the conveniently located Cafe right adjacent to the Office for Meals breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. The room was clean, working AC which was absolutely necessary with the heat, stocked with towels, cups, soaps, a clean pool with fun lights at night for swimming. What I really liked though was all the rooms are Ground Level Floor, no dealing with hauling luggage up or down flights of stairs or elevators. Makes it very easy for those with disabilities or who just want easy access to their room.
They give you a Meal Voucher for the Cafe for Complimentary Breakfast with your stay so dont forget to receive your Cafe Voucher- one per Guest. This little stop was a Blessing to our Family. We would definitely stay here again!

Richard
Clean room, friendly desk clerk and creative decor for sure. However there are trains passing by all night behind the motel, and the windows are single-pane - it definitely needs additional soundproofing.
Geni
The pool and hottub were closed. No breakfast.
I could not get the nerve to get out of my car to go check in because literally a mouse was on the handle of the door inside. The front desk person said she waa hearing something but did not see the mouse. I told her I would not stay in the room if there were mice. She assured me there were no mice in the room. Lots of beetles, crickets, earwigs, and grasshoppers outside of the room and some in the room.
Spacious room, cool, good fridge with small freezer. Outside entrance but quiet and felt safe. Did not use shower because of earwig and beetles in it. TV worked well. Beds okay. Overall it was okay but I was disappointed in being greeted by a mouse and not beimg able to see any of the things that were in the pictures.

Great and clean property to stay while at Gila Bend.
Alberto
Clean rooms, friendly staff, the hotel itself felt safe, and the pool was a okay. Overall a nice place and I’d stay there again.
All that said if you have any noise sensitive this might not be the place for you. The AC unit in the room was pretty loud, and you can hear traffic from the highway and the train that runs behind the motel.

We enjoyed our night at the hotel--a fun stopover on our way from hiking Cactus Organ National Park and heading to Yuma. This hotel is the only Al Stovall space themed hotel left from a bunch built in the 60s, which makes it special. The renovations make it nice. The rooms are spacious and the restaurant is fine for a simple dinner and breakfast--really good coffee and alien gift store.
Robert
The bed was nice but even with a refurbish it was OLD. The plumbing sucked, when I took a shower the water temp would go from too cold to too hot.
Chris
Best part of this stay was the dinner had good food with good portions for you money. It did close an hour before the posted time though. Staff were nice and easy to talk to, but the grounds and rooms are pretty rough. Not at all like the pictures.
Joy
The fact that there is a restaurant on site is a plus. However, since it closed early and the food didn't \"wow\" me, it kinda cancelled out it's very existence.
Clawson
Room was clean. Staff was very friendly. Totally enjoyed our stay. Will stay here again. Breakfast in the restaurant was excellent.
Teresa J
Rooms are very clean. $10 for a voucher to the restaurant. Food was excellent. Waitress was awesome.
Araceli
The room was clean
Jennifer
We enjoyed our stay, the ac unit was a bit clunky and the volume on the TV was a bit weird, but otherwise it was a great for a different 1 night stay.
Marla
Clean and fun remodel -themed hotel.
John K
Room was very clean and everything worked. The was friendly and helpful in giving nearby restaurants.
Jaclyn
Rooms are always good. No more complimentary breakfast
Ekta
The room itself was clean and comfortable for a one‑night stay, but several issues made the overall experience less enjoyable. The air conditioner was so loud that it interrupted conversations whenever the compressor kicked on. Beyond the room, the property clearly needs significant maintenance—there were visible cracks and hanging light fixtures in multiple areas and some broken tiles in the room as well.
We paid about $20 per person for breakfast coupons at the restaurant next door, but when we arrived roughly ten minutes past their cutoff, the staff refused to honor them and responded quite rudely. Most hotels serve breakfast until 10 a.m., but here it ended at 9 a.m., which wasn’t communicated clearly. It was a disappointing way to start the morning, especially after receiving such warm and welcoming service from the receptionist during check‑in.

This property is right on the main thoroughfare in Gila Bend. Very clean and nice rooms. Plenty of parking. Simple breakfast included. Highly recommend a stay if you are passing through Gila Bend.
John
Very friendly and absolutely very clean
Michael
Enjoy the stay
Lori
I never leave negative reviews, but this stay did not meet expectations. We were looking forward to the nostalgia of staying at the Space Age Lodge. The rooms were clean and dog-friendly. However, check in was difficult, the pool & hot tub were not lit (but open until 10:00pm), and the restaurant was not open for the included breakfast.
Sarah
Unique space age theme although a little dated gave the stay a special touch.
Arve
Friendly,clean, good breakfast.
Maria Anna
Everything is clean and tidy. Room is cool enough. I like the toiletries addition.
Benetta
Very friendly staff, room was clean and comfortable, vouchers were provided for breakfast at the restaurant. Definitely would return.
Nicholas
Everyone was friendly. It was convenient and we had a good nights sleep. Everyone we would open the door to go outside little black elm bug beetles came in. We just swept them back outside.
Rasa
Other than the swimming pool being out of service this was a great place to recover from heat exhaustion that put m in the hospital overnight

Checking in was easy. Rooms were ok have a few bugs on the ground and in the showers. Awkward smell when we walked into our rooms.

The room was so clean! The bed is so comfy! The pillows fabulous! The staff is very kind. Complimentary breakfast at the restaurant next door! I had French Toast and my partner had eggs and hash browns and bacon and the coffee is really good! The Aliens are fun!

The rooms were spacious, check-in was quick and thorough, the included breakfast was good, bathtub had a safety grab rail, coffee, coffee maker, refrigerator, soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissues, toilet paper, and lotion were all provided, beds were clean and comfortable, great restaurants such as Little Italy and Sofia's Mexican Food in the area.

It is located very convenient
Andrea
Just a neat property, we loved the space theme!!
Bryan
We wanted to stay within easy driving distance to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. This was CERTAINLY the best option in the area. The theming made it extra special and different. All staff we met were great (check-in and in restaurant).

Chockey Hotel.. one night stay.. yikes
its way out there. possibly the best hotel in Gila.. kinds gives Bates Motel Vibes.. yikes... restaurant was closed and hours were not right on the website: currently open 6 am to 1pm. room floor was dirty, leaves in the room, and bathroom is falling apart. Beds make too much noise if you move.
Patty
It was very clean. My only issue was the train driving by all night long. Its kinda noisy.
They did offer free breakfast which was nice. I would stay again

The check-in was fast and easy, and the best part was the person at the desk was sooo very nice. The room was clean, and it was all we needed for a one-night stay. The restaurant on the property had delicious food and was very convenient. We will definitely stay here again the next time we pass through Gila Bend.
Robert
Incredibly loud A/C in my room. Lots of traffic noise out front and trains running in back of the hotel. Bring ear plugs! Crickets started scurrying around my room when I turned out the lights. Managed to squash 2 of them. The mattress desperately needed to be replaced.
Gregory
Better than when we first visited 20 years ago. A pleasant surprise...
Linda B
Exceeded our expectations
Space Age Lodge is the best game in town in Gila Bend. Restaurant is good, friendly staff, very comfortable room.
Richard
Run-down town.

Always very good stay
Eunice L.
The front desk clerk was welcoming and friendly.
Jessica
Great place to stay passing through Gila Bend. The free breakfast was a full hot breakfast and was available to guests every morning. The Space theme was charming and the rooms were. Very clean. Only complaint I would have is that the rooms were not very insulated because I could hear everything outside. Earplugs helped me deal with that though. Overall, I would stay again.
Carlos
Friendly staff. Great service. Unfortunately had a giant cricket and mosquito in our room when we first opened the door, but after fixing that issue the room was very spacious and definitely looks like it’s newly renovated. Awesome to be able to park right next to our door. Can’t wait for breakfast in the morning!
Kathryn
Easy check in with delightful staff. Very easy parking right outside the room. Pet and service animal friendly
Janice
Restaurant had good food.
Shanna
Clean and comfortable night stay
Older hotel with comfortable refurbished rooms, very clean and nice staff
We slept well. Continental breakfast was a bit slow at the restaurant next door, so be patient

Room floor very dusty after shower feet got black to to the dust
Amanda
Great little Gem of a hotel. Fantastic UFO Theme!
What a gem! If you are passing through this area this is a great little stop. Very clean, super friendly staff and such a cute ufo theme. We’d 100% stay again!! Wonderful!
Maureen
Sweet Motel
The motel was squeaky clean, the bed was comfortable and nicely 'dressed'. The bathroom was awesome, with a deep tub and excellent water pressure. The only issue we had was a serious lack of sound insulation from the adjoining room. Maybe solid doors would help? The three young men next door were loud and obviously quite happy, but I felt as if they were in our room with us.
Rebecca
Right on the main road we heard cars loud all night plus it’s near train tracks so we got to hear 2 trains during the night. Nice hotel and friendly staff but if you want to sleep this definitely isn’t the place to stay.
Christopher
The hotel was very nice and the staff friendly
John
Clean, nice bedding

Pricey - Nicest Place in Gila Bending
Of the few hotels in Gila Bend this is clearly the nicest place. It’s very pricey and anywhere else it’d be a value at, maybe, $110/night. One advantage is there are two free breakfasts cooked to order, based on a choice of about six meals. An advantage is it’s a motor hotel and it’s easy to unload and load. Overall, I think it’s too pricey for the value, yet considering a breakfast value of $20.00 (for two) it’s probably okay, yet still not worth the price of $170/night. Note, I’ve not stayed in the other places.
sean
Super clean rooms
cynthia
Clean, all on one level, and a great breakfast at the restaurant next door, which was included in our pricing. A great overnight if are traveling further the next day.
gary douglas
Not bad for Gila Bend
Deborah
Worth staying here
Lovely clean room. Big bath! We were very pleased we’d booked to stay here. Potentially could be noisy with the railway one side and the road on the other but we didn’t get bothered by any noise in the night at all. Breakfast in the restaurant next door was good.
Leticia
Thought it was very unique. Rooms were clean, restaurant food was good. But, not much to do in the area.
Katherine
Okay for a one night stay, but was noisy close to the highway. The shower was odd, maybe designed for mobility impaired, but was awkward to operate.

Hotel woes!!!
My family had an overnight stay because we heard good things about the hotel but we were really, really disappointed at the customer service and the room. When I walked into the check in area the clerk(Michael) took about 3 minutes to acknowledge me, although there was no one else there. He did not look up, say hello or smile!!
He shoved a piece of paper at me and said sign and date, gave me the room key and that was it……all this without looking at me or saying anything else,
I was too tired to argue or look for another hotel as it was late so we just stayed.
Upon entering the room, it looked okay but about 10 minutes later my 10 year old granddaughter started screaming because she saw a bug crawling on the floor. When we started looking closely at the floor there were bugs everywhere. We killed as many as we could but I think they kept crawling underneath the door. My poor granddaughter was so scared to go to sleep. There was hair on the bathroom floor and the bathtub was very slow to drain, taking 3 showers had the tub almost overflowing. After a restless night, we checked out as soon as the sun was up. We were so disappointed at everything overall.
This is a hotel that will never see our business again and as far as the night clerk, he should be fired. My assumption is he was extremely unprofessional and rude. Could it be because my skin was brown and his was not……..100 percent YES!
We would like a refund for this stay!

The managers were amazing. Took special care of us and the food for breakfast was divine!
Leanne
A very creative theme of space travel and aliens. It was fun to stay here!
Daniel
Space Lodge
The Staff were very attentive and professional. There was a minor issue brought up to the staff for which they apologized and provided a partial refund on the stay. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding and the service was awesome. I would highly recommend staying here. The uniqueness of the hotel is very nice.

We booked a little weekend retreat to get away from everything and do some computer work and was totally not expecting what we got!! This was the cleanest, best smelling, nicest staffed Hotel I have been to in a LONG time. The cleanliness of the room, was smelt as soon as you stepped foot through the door. The staff was consistently cleaning the grounds and there was no trash around, The pool area was immaculate! Water was nice and clean, jacuzzi was well kept, everything functioned and worked, and the bed. Let me tell you about the comfort level of the bed!!! I slept like a baby, not to firm, not too soft, with perfect amount of plush pillows. A/C unit worked well. No upstairs units. and parked right in front of my hotel room without any issues. Close by is a Tesla Charger as well for EV charging. The staff was always available, and so nice. Anything you need they are right there and on top of it. With a smile!! They give you a coupon to dine in for breakfast everyday with your stay also! The food was amazing, we had breakfast and dinner as well. Kids loved the pool, overall EXTREAMLY impressed with my stay. Was blown away! Thanks Gila Bend Best Western Space Age Hotel for your great hospitality!!

The remodel of this place should have included dual-pane windows as the trucks do not take the night off. The soundproofing between rooms is non-existent as the next door neighbor snored and sounded way too close for comfort. I did not see a mention of the train tracks that hide behind the motel. The trains are long and loud.
The conductor kindly does not use the horn during the night but starts up in the morning, so don't plan on sleeping late. The dinner at the restaurant was awful (the gravy was more like glue, the vegetables looked like they had been simmering all day). The breakfast at the same restaurant, included with the room, was limited in choice but at least tasted like breakfast should.
