I stayed at this establishment a few years ago, returning this time for another stay, the rooms were renovated and it felt even more cozy. The staff was friendly, every morning they freshened the room and provided fresh towels each time. There's also a friendly cat (one of the cleaning ladies said her name was Luna) that was absolutely adorable. I truly enjoyed my stay and I will gladly return on my next trip to Hanksville. Thank you for providing amazing service!

The room was clean and good. We booked with breakfast Included. But, in the reception they told us they don’t serve breakfast anymore. That was misleading and inconvenient because we didn’t buy anything for breakfast. It always help when they update these information.

Don't kid yourself You're in the middle of nowhere. The staff were super cool. They tried to accommodate us with an early morning departure time and were fantastic to talk to. The room was very clean and it's probably a 50-year-old motel but your choices are this or a cabin

A recently updated interior at an older motel. It was clean and the location was good for us. The furniture is of IKEA quality. I thought the bed was uncomfortable and my neck hurt after sleeping on it, but it was clean. The grab and go breakfast wasn't much but they didn't advertise a breakfast, so I was pleasantly surprised.
