This motel was OK as a place to sleep. We had a room with 2 queens, which was large enough, but had originally been assigned 1 bed, but we asked for a larger room as the one bed room was quite small. The beds were comfortable, but the room had quite a few things wrong that made it have a... More

Myself, my wife, and our dog were up from NM to do a bit of hiking and exploring in the area. We stayed three nights in early April. While it was not the Waldorf it was very clean and the people were very friendly and helpful. It is old, from like the late 50's or early 60's and the t.v.... More

We were touring the national parks and stayed one night in Blanding, Utah. I had booked this Motel in advance on the web as there didn't seem to be a lot of choice at the time. The Motel's external appearance is quite poor, we were greeted with a sign to say check in at the hotel next door which was... More

The hotel is very old with lots of maintenance issues. At first site, my wife wanted to find another hotel despite prepaying. The first issue was language. The manager seemed nice enough, but didn't speak English well. This lead to a frustrating exchange where he told me the room was for two people and he actually meant two beds. Physically... More

Property has not been maintained: exterior room doors badly damaged, window screens torn, parking lot filthy. Interior rooms on first glance look nice but: carpet dirty, toilet was not clean, rolls of toilet paper on top of toilet tank with toilet paper holder missing many live insects in and on bed -- I had to sleep in a chair. Large... More

We booked this motel online through Expedia. We were looking for a cheap place to crash for one night ($50+tax) We pulled into the place at 11 pm. Front desk clerk said they didn't have our reservation and their motel was full. We pulled out our Expedia confirmation paper and he told us they didn't have any record of our... More

We arrived after a LONG drive...and were scared by the really OLD signs advertising the place. Then, they said, NO reservation? Even AFTER we showed the confirmation through EXPEDIA...they said. No Reservation. No apologies...just an offer to stay at the neighbouring property run by the same (bored???) couple for $15.00 more. The owner/manager kept saying....the property is so much nicer?...
