This is a very old-school type of motel. It was very clean and had a great tv. I really appreciated that this property has been well maintained.

The place looked a little worn out from the outside, but the room was extremely comfortable with plenty of new amenities. It was a perfect place to stay between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon.

For a budget motel this had everything one could need. Lots of toiletries, plenty of charging outlets, great wifi, and a very friendly proprietor (and his cat!)

This isn't a new lodging, but it is excellently maintained. Bed was super comfortable. Great AC. The gentleman who manages the lodging was very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again and highly recommend to others looking for an affordable, clean, comfortable place to stay.

The rooms are very intelligently set up. Great electrical plugs, excellent coffee, wonderful bed, good air flow to make use of cool mountain air. Owner/host is super friendly and mellow. An outstanding experience that is a perfect antidote to corporate hotel experience

Hotel is a bit old, but in pretty good shape. Beds are comfortable, shower has very good water pressure. Parking lot would be too small if all rooms were full—owner says he’s working on improving that. Overall pretty good for the price.

The owner manager Russ will take care of you! He runs an excellent motel. For what looks like your run of the mill motel this is not! Great bed, sheets, coffee!!! Everything is a step above what you would think it would be. Also a great place to explore Grand Escalante from! Oh and super clean!!!
