Great place to stay in town. Plentiful parking and so easy to walk to the handful of great places to dine and visit. Room was nicely updated and perfectly clean. Spacious bathroom, plenty of clean, white towels and we enjoyed our complimentary coffee outside in the cool desert morning. I would absolutely stay again.

Very clean and spacious, the TV was much larger than it appears in pictures online, it was a Roku device that had live TV or you could sign into your streaming services (and it automatically signs you out when you leave), the bathroom was clean and spacious, complementary coffee and microwave popcorn was provided, parking was easy, no need to worry about keeping track of your room key because every door opens with a 4 digit code, housekeeping was super friendly, pretty town

Rooms were clean and comfortable. However, could not get a room with an accessible bathroom. Not a fan of contactless check-in. Amenities very limited - guessing this is because there is no staff on duty. Overall, the room was fine for the limited amount of time we were there.

First hotel management sent us a message saying need to check in on website two days before live. We did, and they sent room number and cord. When we arrived hotel, we opened room door and found someone already occupying, fortunately no one inside. So we called management then they gave us another room.

This is an older motel. It seems to me that they are remodeling it. Our room just had the basics, which is not a complaint. It totally served its purpose-we hiked all day, ate dinner, and just slept there. Beds were comfy. Towels and linens were clean. Room was clean. No complaints. Just know you are getting an older, no frills, but fully functioning, hotel. Location was within walking distance of several restaurants and a grocery store. Didn't actually see any staff during our visit.

An efficient, practical motel. Everything clean and operational. It's nice to be able to park your car right outside your front door! Areas for improvement: There's a 'virtual' reception. The onsite cleaning/management staff were very helpful and accommodating, but whoever was answering the phone to deal with reservations let the team down. Single heavy curtains. It'd be nice if there were some light shade curtains that let you see out without letting passers-by see in. The lights outside the front doors of the rooms were very bright and white. Great for security. Not so great for ambiance.

This stay was only one night as we made our way across Route 12 towards Green River. This hotel was approximately halfway between the places we wanted to visit. The room was very clean, with a nice bathroom and shower. What I missed about this stay was the self check in. We arrived just prior to 3:00 to check in. When I went into the lobby, I picked up the phone to call and someone said check in was 3:00. It was ten minutes to 3:00. Maybe if I had realized it was self check in, it would have been smoother. I realize people have other responsibilities, but why couldn’t someone have been available? When we came back a little after three, someone was there. This might be nitpicking, but we came to experience Utah and I booked on Expedia and I expected someone to be there after traveling for 6-7 hours. On a positive note, we thought having microwave popcorn in the room and real glass coffee cups was great.

Not a fan of nobody at the front desk and questions/issues handled through a phone at the front desk. Arrived at 10:00 PM and the parking lot was pitch dark. Apparently, the outside lights are motion activated but did not activate! Had to use my flashlight on the phone to go up the stairs and it was still pretty dark. This is a SAFETY issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt. The room looked clean and the bathroom looked as if it had been renovated recently. However, the bed and the bedding looked as if they had time traveled from the 1970s! The bed was uncomfortable. The biggest issues in the room was a strong odor. Not sure about the source....maybe it was the new carpeting? Whatever it was, it was quite strong....even with the window open.
