Good hotel

Simple motel room, but it was clean, comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Right on Main St in Escalante, so location was convenient. Everything worked well in the room. I would stay here again.

For the price, I was expecting more, to be honest. At $200 per night, in the off-season of a non-resort pass through town in the desert, I thought it was a bit steep for what we got. The rooms are definitely dated, and in need of some serious renovating. The beds were not very comfortable and the property didn't have a lot of amenities to offer - no laundry, no pools, hot-tubs, no on-site dining, ect. And the staff we're barely around to help with anything. The office was closed when we checked out. At 9 am. Lol. So, this hotel is just a place to put your head down. However, that being said, there were some positives. For a pass-through town, that's generally what you're looking for - a place to put your head down. So, I was trying to keep my expectations reasonable. Also, the room was pretty clean - maybe smelled a bit swampy at check-in, but not bad. Best of all, it's one of the only properties around that you can have your dog with you. Big props for that. That's why my review is a 3 star instead of a 1 star. So, an overall average stay. I might stay here again if I'm traveling with pets, but I hope the price isn't quite so high for what you get.

Pretty good motel-quality stay. Liked double sinks & sitting area. At 5'4", I was taller than the shower head, so there was that and when we had neighbors just one night we clearly heard luggage moving, TV/conversations... so the walls could use some insulation but this is a convenient, well-maintained property that is in a good location for hiking in the area.
