Hotel was nice, clean, smelled good, and location for a small town was great! I was concerned when we checked in since it is a tiny town and older but when we got to our room I was very pleased! Would definitely stay there again. Hotel staff was also very friendly and welcoming.

Good nights rest before a long hike

Serviceable little place for a night before hiking in Canyonlands. Staff was nice and accommodations were pretty nice for an old motel in a small town.

Nice clean place

This small Motel has been renovated and they did a good job. The room is very comfortable, quiet, and a good variety on tv. They will be updating the bathrooms next but they are still clean and good condition. The poor reviews are from the previous owners of the motel and under a different name. The owners are so nice and friendly. I will definitely stay again when we come through.
