Cutest little motel and really very good. Much more than expected. The beds, sheets and towels are nice quality. Every room also has a few “scrap” towels to use for bikes and boots if dirty. The bathrooms are clean with walk-in showers and the shampoo, conditioner and body wash filled. The room has a mini-fridge and microwave and pod coffee machine with a few samples. My sister stayed in a room that had a small kitchen. It was well enough supplied that we could make a basic dinner. I saw corn hole and horseshoes to play and there was a communal fire pit that was really nice to use in the cooler evening. Check-in at 2p was easy and the woman up front was kind and informative. I had zero expectations of this place but we were all very pleased and impressed and will recommend it to others. Thank you!

Large room. Nothing fancy but had a full fridge, small electric stove, microwave and a few kitchen supplies. Convenient location for walking into town. Pay attention to what is open and when in town so you can stock up on a few groceries or know which restaurants have breakfast or dinner available.

I was disappointed given the positive reviews. Floors creaked when you walked on them. Building seemed lightly built with thin walls, ie you could hear your neighbors. Bed was comfortable though.

It’s an old motel but it’s been painted and tiled to keep with the times. I loved it. Escalante is a very small town. That being said, the people there are so friendly that you feel like you’ve known them forever.

Older property that has been refurbished. Beds were comfortable. Shower was great. Not many units so it felt very private. Quiet. Lot of history in the town, very walkable. Unit was very clean. Would stay again.

The staff are fantastic! The entire town on Esclante lost power and the staff did everything they could to keep guests happy and comfortable. The rooms come with hiking guides for the area. It made for a great stay. Will come again

Polite staff, AC and heat worked so did the tv! Power was out for a few hours (out of their control as the entire town was out). The property is quite run down, for the quality of stay this should have been motel 6 pricing at 50-75$ max. Mattresses, walls, bathroom, furnishings all need updating to be worth over 130$ a night. Hope this helps the next traveler.
