I love this place! It brings back memories of hotels when I was a kid. Mid century furniture mixed with modern appliances and bathroom. Front staff very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if I’m ever back this way.

Overall I would stay here again, it is nothing fancy but for the price it is worth it. It’s “clean” could use some detailing but overall satisfactory

I loved The Atomic Blue Motor Inn. I have driven Route 66 from Chicago to LA and found this property to be reminiscent of many of the retro properties we stayed at on that trip, and more well-done in the remodeling than many of those. The retro phone and tissue box were nice touches, and we slept very well. The only thing I missed was a full-length mirror. But that detracted only minimally from the overall great experience. I definitely look forward to staying here again.

Comfort and Atmosphere!

We were so happy with the ease of check in, and what a cute room with all the space age, atomic decor. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and we were practically giddy over the choice of which pillow to sleep on. We had to leave very early the next morning, so we didn't get a chance to get one of the specialty coffees available in the lobby. I would recommend Atomic Blue as a Great place to stay 🙂

I love staying at these old Motor Court motels when I travel cross country on my motorcycle. I love that you can park outside your room. This place is super-cool with it's updated mid-century modern vibe. The proprietor & staff were awesome as well. Great place to stop for a night as you pass through!

Wonderful place to stay.

What an adorable place to stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. The decor was very well planned, mid century modern/pin-up oriented. The front desk staff was very friendly. The coffees from the front desk coffee shop were delicious too. I would definitely stay here again.

Great little place in Monticello UT. We had a king room a bit farther from the road which is a good idea. Good price, spotless room, excellent staff.

Property was very clean, staff is nice, the room was very quiet. Perfect area for part of Canyonlands National Park and Newspaper Rock. The only complaints I have is very limited food options, we ended up just grabbing sandwich supplies from the grocery store, and the beds were super firm I prefer a softer bed.

Quaint and well-kept affordable roadside motel with cabins. Some noise from passing trucks, but not bad. Perfect for solo or couple travelers.

What a nice surprise. I booked this off of Expedia not knowing what to expect. The staff was extremely friendly. The rooms are massive and well appointed. The grounds were a little difficult for us, mostly because we have mobility issues. I really couldn't find a safe place to take my service dog out, because the ground was too uneven.
