We are usually skeptical when staying at Inns rather hotels, but we felt completely safe and comfortable in our room, which was very cute! I wish I got something from the coffee bar!

The owner was extremely nice. The bathroom had hair all over and our room was worn and had a smell but I guess all they should be expected for a low price. Location worked for us.

This was a great stay. Loved to look. Price was very good. Check in was super fast. Do wish there was laundry. We had been out on the bike for a week. I did shower with a earwig. Bed was really good. Maybe a little less furniture. Would make the space a bit more open. I would stay here again.

Love the eclectic colors/in-room amenities that remind of the 1960s (yes…the in-room phone is rotary dial). Desk staff is super friendly/helpful. Their coffee machine can whip out some awesome beverages!! Such a welcome change from the standard budget hotel chains!

The quintessential Motor Inn. Chose it from a photo online and thought, this looks like a place someone puts their love and personality into. No corporate vibes here. Quirky, clean, family owned and run. Had a great stay. Will check back in anytime I need a stay in the area.

Very cute remodeled rooms with a definite taste of the ‘50s. Perfect for a night stay on the way to Moab! I would like the owner know that the electricity in the bathroom is shut off when you turn off the light! We couldn’t use the night light and caused an incident when my wife tried to use the facilities at night! Garland

I gave this property five stars because for the price and age of the motel it was super clean and fun to stay at. The only thing I would have changed would be the air conditioner. It did its job but was very loud.
