Would stay again

This place is great, unlike typical motor inns. Bathroom was clean. Beds are comfy. Pillows were medium. Provided shampoo, hand soap, body lotion, conditioner, shower gel. Keurig coffee in the room. Breakfast was adequate, too hyped on reviews. They had cereal, waffles, burrito, eggs, sausage links, yogurt, cinnamon buns, etc. I would recommend for a stay.

The beds were great. The carpet needs a good cleaning. A ledge to enter the bathroom is a trip hazard in the dark. There is no trailer parking, we were there for a ATV trip and had to park down the street 2 blocks on a city street. The breakfast was great and not self serve, that I really apricate. I would consider staying again if we did not have a trailer. Staff was friendly. The place is not pet friendly. I love that. But of course people did bring dogs, and the wake up with barking dogs at 5 a.m. was not great. Apparently they need to have a few rooms for service dogs.

The rooms are nicely appointed. I appreciate the free breakfast, but I recommend sticking with items that don't need to be cooked - cereal, bagels, etc.

The best hotel in Vernal. Wished the pool was open, but it was mid May, so no points off. Cool little town and nice hotel Breakfast was good. Make sure you check out Little B’s if you like a local bar with great food and very friendly bartenders.

Nice place to stay

Great place to stay. Clean, furniture is in good condition and looks clean, clean walls, bathroom looks newly renovated, a bit of a problem with the shower though. There is no elevator to get to the 2nd floor.
