Road trips across Wyoming are legendary — wide-open skies, rolling plains, and small towns full of character. When it’s time to rest, Cowboys Inn in Laramie is the affordable stop that keeps your trip on budget.

The Perfect I-80 Pit Stop

Laramie sits squarely between Cheyenne and Rawlins along Interstate 80, making it a natural overnight point for long-haul travelers, truckers, and cross-country road trippers. Cowboys Inn offers easy highway access, plentiful parking for large vehicles, and quick check-in so you can rest sooner.

Saving Money Without Sacrificing Comfort

Budget travel shouldn’t mean roughing it. At Cowboys Inn, you’ll find:

• Competitive nightly rates that beat most chain hotels in the region
• Clean, modern rooms with comfortable bedding and reliable Wi-Fi
• Pet-friendly policies — bring Fido along for no extra stress

Tips for Road Trippers

Planning a Wyoming road trip? Here are a few insider tips from your friends at Cowboys Inn:

1. Fill up in Laramie. Gas stations become sparse between here and Rawlins.
2. Check weather reports. I-80 can close unexpectedly in winter — we offer a warm place to wait it out.
3. Explore before you go. Grab breakfast downtown before hitting the road west.

Book your stay at Cowboys Inn and turn your pit stop into an adventure.

Howdy, partner — there’s a new name in town, but the friendly faces haven’t changed.

If you’ve traveled I-80 through southeastern Wyoming, you’ve probably spotted the familiar sign of Motel 6 Laramie. We’re excited to announce that we’ve officially rebranded as Cowboys Inn — a name that better reflects the spirit of Laramie, the heart of the American West, and the warm hospitality we’ve always offered our guests.

Why the Rebrand?

Laramie isn’t just another dot on the map. It’s home to the University of Wyoming Cowboys, the historic Wyoming Territorial Prison, and some of the most breathtaking high-plains scenery in the country. We wanted our name to tell that story the moment you drove up. Cowboys Inn pays tribute to the ranchers, students, travelers, and dreamers who make Laramie unforgettable.

What’s Changed — and What Hasn’t

While the name and signage are new, our commitment to clean, comfortable, and affordable lodging is the same. Guests can still expect:

• Pet-friendly rooms (because cowboys travel with their companions)
• Free Wi-Fi and ample truck and RV parking
• Easy access to I-80, downtown Laramie, and the University of Wyoming campus
• Budget-friendly nightly rates with no hidden fees

Plan Your Stay

Whether you’re in town for a Wyoming Cowboys football game, a road trip through the Snowy Range, or a quick overnight stop between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City, Cowboys Inn is your home base. Book direct and experience the new look, same great value.
