Breakfast was awesome.
Pool was clean. No shade at all. You will get baked.
Rooms were clean. Beds were awfully soft. Only issue was the carpet had ripples in it and was a tripping hazard. Rooms were a little dated and dark.
Staff was helpful and kind. I would probably stay there again because of the value and cleanliness.

My son and I decided to use the swimming pool. It was a very hot day. Good thing we were wearing flip flops because the concrete was very hot to walk on. We would have liked to stay at the pool longer, but there was absolutely no shade. With shade, we could have laid out on a lounge chair intermittently between dips in the pool. My son was already sunburned, so he didn't want to stay long, and neither did I. One dip in the pool and then we went back to our room. The pool needs some shade.

This place was perfect for a few days exploring parks in the area. I wish breakfast ran later, and I also think there should be two attendants: one to serve food and one to clean up and deal with the garbage. The same girl was doing both, and I did get a little sick after eating breakfast there. But, otherwise things were great. The room was very clean and comfortable and staff were very helpful.

Make sure you have a valid credit card. I traveled all over and this is the only place that didn’t accept my VISA debit (which is also a cc) as valid for use for their “hold fee”. The staff prefers that guests order their main complementary breakfast choice from a counter to be served a portion rather than self serve. The eggs were fabulous and the pool was cool. In the middle of downtown Vernal made for a convenient spot for the museums and restaurants including Swain’s steakhouse.

I liked that there were 2 sinks- one in bathroom and one outside bathroom. However, outside sink area was very dark because of two small lights that were dim. This made it difficult to put on makeup.
The 2 queen size beds were uncomfortable because they were very soft. Probably needing to be replaced.
The tv was very small. In this day and age, larger tvs are very inexpensive and that should be replaced.
Staff at front desk and breakfast area were nice. Breakfast was good.

I'm not sure how this hotel has such great ratings. The front desk employee was extremely rude and unwelcoming during check-in. The rooms looked nothing like the photos on the website—the TV was tiny, the bathtub was peeling, and there were holes in the walls. Overall, the property felt dated and poorly maintained. I won't be staying here again, especially with so many better options available in Vernal.

Not a fan of single story motels where you park in front of the room. In this case parking was tight because someone used their space for a boat and the motel was completely booked. The room was basic but spaciious enough. The remodeled bath should have a grab bar by the tub but did not. And a place to hang the bath towel. Not a lot of usb and other plugs for devices. In the parking lot in front of the room the landscaping was not being trimmed so if you wanted to use the little walkway to the parking you had to walk through bushes. The breakfast was basic. There was an attendant to give out the scrambled eggs, cold cereal and cinnamon rolls Mainly for portion control I think The seating for breakfast was inadequate. but the location was probably the best in town, near the restaurants and tourist activities.

This is a motel, not a hotel, but it is easily the nicest motel I have ever stayed in. It also hands down has the best breakfast I've had at any property, hotel or motel alike. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the beds were very comfortable, though the pillows weren't my favorite. The whole place looks completely remodeled and they did a wonderful job with it. The lady working the front desk around 10 PM was incredibly kind. I won't be staying anywhere else in Vernal.

The hotel check in process was really smooth. The person at the front desk was very kind. The hotel was nice and had plenty of room for my family of four. The bathroom was bigger than expected, too, which was nice. We enjoyed the pool and the breakfast, and ate at the restaurant next door. My only note is that my son got stung by a wasp at the pool (which happens sometimes!) but I then noticed several wasp nests around the rafters above the doors. Taking care of those would make me feel more comfortable for a stay here in the future.

This seemingly dated, novelty inn was able to execute on all essentials one can reasonably expect for a traveling of family. The facility is older but very well maintained, from room, fixtures, pool… Was disappointed that on-site L2 EV charging station was not working at first and further found it was set grossly expensive (try nearby L3 fast charger for more than 1/2 cost). Great hearty breakfast and pleasant staff.
