A good overnight stop during our journey. Older hotel but clean and nice to park right outside room. Street noise can be irritating so will request a room further back on next visit. Can walk to mexican restaurant across the street. Food and service were good. Town is much less frantic than Moab and hotels less costly. We will overnight here again in the future.

Had a great stay. Room was clean, quiet, bed comfortable, and the smart TV setup allows many options for viewing. Even met the owner hanging outside the room one night. Very nice people and close to our 4wheel drive areas so we'll be back in the Fall.👍👍

The staff was very kind even though we had a very late check in after a wedding. They were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and beds were nice. It was a great place to stop and rest after a long day celebrating at a wedding.
