We arrived Monday evening to be greeted by Jessica. She was welcoming, helpful with local knowledge, just all around a great first person to encounter. She showed us our room, gave us cookies and coffee and print outs of locals and their maps. Come morning there was a new worker when I went in for coffee before heading out for the day. She greeted me but no chit chat. That evening on return, going to get coffee in the lobby, Jessica was there and we chatted for quite a time. Next morning there was a different worker. This one did not acknowledge my presence other than glance at me then disappeared in the back and continued with her personal phone conversation; never saw her. I filled the water reservoir on the coffee maker every time I went in there. Great, quiet stay. HOWEVER there is a need for friendly, seemingly interested front desk people so people feel welcomed. The lobby had a brochure or two for local things, when I visited the local museum in Blanding there was an over abundance. Maybe the hotel should gather pamphlets to display for out of town visitors. As to the hotel, we had a great room. Very quiet without traffic noises. Water was hot and plentiful. Would stay again if we are ever in the area again.

We left an item at the hotel, but didn’t discovered we’d left it until we arrived at our next destination. We called the hotel and they had found the item. The arranged to have it mailed to our final destination. They went way above and beyond in helping us, can’t say enough good about the staff.

The beds were comfortable, the room spacious and clean. Older motel with limited amenities but completely adequate for our needs. We stayed on a sunday night and the town had very few dining options.

Great place!

Stayed one night while passing through town and it was perfect. It's clearly been updated and renovated and seemed very clean. Service was great at check-in and we also got some dinner suggestions and a cookie! Would definitely stay here again next time we pass through town

Very friendly service at the front desk. We brought our dog with us and they provided treats for our pup. They had a good sized pet area too. Felt safe and great recommendation to try the restaurant across the street. Would recommend.
