Straight Dopeness!

Dude I freaking love this place! I have family in vernal that I go and visit from time to time. Usually I just bring my trailer and stay on some land that belongs to my family. However..... When I don't! I stay here! It's honestly SO GREAT! I wish all hotels did it as well as this one. You can tell they spent extra money on comfort and things that make sense! Amazingly comfy mattresses. Shower pressure that's like a power washer, no soap needed it will literally just strip the dirt and grime off your skin. Idk what they do to keep their towels so nice and soft but they are legit better than the expensive ones at my house. All the workers are so nice and helpful. The breakfast is far better than what you would expect from a motel. They just do it right. I love staying here. Would rather stay here 10/10 times over some fancy modern hotel that charges you for the room and then extra for breakfast and wifi.
