With several chain hotels available in Vernal UT, this one showed character! Loved the Dinosaur outside, keeping with the theme of the town. Reception area and breakfast area were clean and bright and staff members were friendly. Our 1st floor guestroom was clean and fresh with easy access, as parking was right outside the door.
