They have some nice rooms. Ask if one of their larger rooms or one of the suites is available. If you smoke like me, ask for rooms 155 or 158. 155 is a larger room with two desks and a smaller room leading into the bathroom. 158 is a HUGE suite-style room with a bar and couch. Both rooms have... More

The staff is very nice. Rooms are clean. Little plastic dinosaurs for the kids are cute. I stay here every week and it's been great. They also have a hot tub.

Did a 6,000 mile trip across the U.S. this summer. This was one of the more expensive rooms we found. They re-defined the word continental breakfast. It was the worst of all the places we stayed It was cold cereal, coffee and two old donuts!! We left for McDonalds. On our way down the stairs upon leaving, we saw a... More

I am very sorry about the experience you had with the breakfast. I wished that you would have been able to sample the waffles that you can make yourself. Or the breakfast sandwhiches, eggs, fresh sliced grapefruit, bananas, apples. We also have bagels, english muffins, three types of muffins, toast, milk, orange or apple juice. The select brand of coffee... More

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, the comfort of the king size bed, check in was quick and easy and the desk clerk was very friendly. Unlike JB;s restaurant where the service was awful and food mediocre. Find somewhere else to eat. Breakfast was included and adequate for hotel food. Set up in the conference room... More

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. Bed comfortable and room clean. I am a non-smoker and detected no odor of smoke. Carpet worn, but clean. Town is quaint and pretty. Very friendly folks. Will stay there next time I travel this way. For price of room we have no complaints.

A modest establishment in the one-horse town of Vernal. It does what is says though with a good sized air conditioned room and free internet. In the middle of the town but there's nothing much to see and few places to eat.

In August 2001 my family arrived in Vernal to spend a week exploring the Dinosaur Natl. Monument. We reserved in advance and were told the hotel had 2 larger family guest rooms. We had to take the "smoking" room due to the other being taken. Being hikers, distance runners, skiers, etc., obviously we don't smoke. The room, 126, is very... More

Room and bath was clean, but the hotel is a bit dated. Ask for a room in the back away from the main drag. Not worth the money quality-wise for what they charge.
