Drove down the little hill at the entrance and met the very nice lady owner who checked us into the motel. The motel is built into the rock and fronts the river. Very relaxing.

Very clean. Nice room. Everything was great. But the entrance to the hotel is a steep downhill on a curve. Very difficult exit for motorcyclists. Wish we had known this.

It was just fine for what I needed - a quick one night stop over before heading on up to Moab. No frills motel, but room was clean, bed very comfortable, and pleasant staff. The gentleman who waited on me at the cafe was extremely friendly. I do not typically stay at motels, but would stay here again and recommend it.
