One of the rooms door seal was in spots so it allowed noise to come into the room. A lot easier plus other things that could get through. I believe that was room one hundred and twenty six.

The desk attendant/owner was so nice and very friendly. She gave us excellent recommendations of places to visit that we would have known nothing about otherwise. We experienced no problems whatsoever. It was a very popular motel and was full in May. Conveniently located to areas of the canyonlands national park. The bedding was crisp, white, and clean and obvious care given to cleanliness! I’d stay there again for sure!

This is an absolutely charming place. Upon check-in, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming—even accommodating our late arrival with warmth and hospitality. The motel was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a pleasant and comfortable stay.
