This place was a stop over for us as part of a month-long road-trip, and we chose it because of the cost & the retro feel (we love to stay at small, older places when we can amongst the usual more standard chain type motels). It also had decent reviews considering it’s low prices, so we thought it was worth a try for a one night stay, seeing as we are not those kind of exacting high standards travellers who moan because they never got smiled at enough or that there was a bit of a stain on the carpet. Plus we’ve had multiple experiences throughout our many roadtrips where we’ve paid next to nothing for a room & been pleasantly surprised with the quality. So this review is given being as charitable as possible & finding the good points along with the bad. It’s right on the main route through Green River & was in the old style of motel with parking outside each room. Plus the signage is very cool outside, especially once it’s lit up at night. I think it does most of it’s trade on the fact that it’s close proximity to Canyonlands, Moab etc. We arrived a bit early & the room we had booked (asking for the end one, so as to only have one neighbour) wasn’t quite ready yet – they were still cleaning it. So the helpful chap on the desk got all our details & sorted the paperwork, then suggested we go off for a wander & come back a bit later to be able to access the room. When we got back and into the room, I have to admit that even I (the eternal optimist) was a little disappointed – but then I remembered how much I’d paid for it ($55 / £40) & had to lower my expectations a bit (which again, I must say are not unrealistic in the first place!). The room was small & very old/worn with old secondary double glazed window which were pretty grimy, squeaky floors & stains on the carpet, but again – I kept my slippers/crocs on when in the room and it was manageable. The bed was very old and we didn’t have the best nights’ sleep on it and there was a strange smell around the bed area which wasn’t conducive to a relaxing repose! There was a small table & a couple of chairs to be able to sit & use our laptop at, and there was a small fridge which was useful. Still, the bathroom was a decent size and clean - it looked as though they had replaced some fittings with a new sink/toilet, and it had been tiled on the floor, but the hand towels left a lot to be desired. Now, we’ve been known to abandon certain hotels after checking in (happy to lose the small cost and put it down to experience) and find alternatives at the last minute, but although I was tempted here, we didn’t have the energy and decided to suck it up, get some sleep because we’d barely be spending any time in the room anyway (we’d planned to be on our way early - mega early like 4am - to get into Canyonlands before the hordes). I can’t say that I would stay here again, unless they put a little bit of effort into minor renovations (and paying a bit more for that wouldn’t be a problem) but if you just want a cheap as chips place to sleep for a couple of hours, you might want it give it a try. And the staff were pleasant enough & helpful in our experience. There’s potential here for a decent retro renovation to make this place quirky & funky rather than worn & grimy, and I hope that the owners are looking towards doing something like that while keeping the character of the place.…
