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.

Surprised that each bed was in separate room. TV area, lounging needs an ottoman or recline ability. Owner very responsive and helpful.

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 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

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!!!

Clean with exception of couch... A cushion slipped off and there was crumbs & m&m's. Otherwise very clean. AC did okay considering it was in a window in one of the bedrooms. I would not want to be there when its cold as there is no way to control the heaters in the room, it is centrally controlled from the office. Which the owner said he needs to work on getting new unit(s) fir the rooms during the down season.
