Arco Inn
Arco is a small town with only a couple of stay choices. Arco Inn is clean, easy location close to food and activities.
Close to the Craters of the Moon National Monument and the EBR - I, the world's first nuclear power plant.

Only motel in the area. Pretty dated. Clean, and new manager very friendly. She sort of inherited a mess. Town was very friendly, and the park across the street was very nice.
Coffee shop up the street a couple blocks.

Over-priced for what you get
Not really worth the price. Bare minimum amenities but with a not-so-low price. No coffee available. Ice machine not working. Room was in ok condition and the bed was comfortable. Motel is right off the main road but was quiet. Strong wi-fi.

We stayed here to be as close to Craters of the Moon as possible. Peggy was friendly and gave us good advice on how to watch the fireworks display. The room was clean and spacious. This is a great find considering how small Arco is. We had a comfortable stay.

This was a nice motel in the middle of Arco. It was easy to find, easy to get into, and quiet, although there was not much going on in Arco. A restaurant was a short drive away. Everything worked and I was comfortable.

A good night's rest!
A basic roadside motel. It was clean and plenty of space and a perfect hot shower and comfortable bed. Check in was easy and friendly. The furnishings are older and a bit worn, but functional. TV worked great. It met all our expectations and needs.

Great sleep
A no frills motel that afforded a great night’s sleep.
Super comfy bed, great shower pressure with plenty of hot water.
Easy drive to Craters of the Moon.
Disappointed there was no coffee in the morning. (Yes, coffee is important to me- found some at the gas station)
