Very nice Motel. I would stay there again. Very convenient to Goblin Valley. The burger restaurant next door was really good and an easy walk. Also very convenient to the gas station to restock.
It was a clean and quiet room to stay in. The whole town had a problem for a few hours in the evening when there was a power outage due to a storm that came up. They did not have backup power.
Nice room and easy parking. I slept great. I especially appreciated that the air conditioner cooled the room down quickly and I could turn it off for a while and the room stayed cool. I also appreciated the notebook about Hanksville with the name of the grocery store. I bought food for the next day and they had everything I wanted.
There were a couple of minor maintenance issues in the room that I didn't go to the office to mention. The extra door lock didn't turn and the curtain was partly off the rod.
