The town is small but quaint. The restaurant in front of hotel had delicious breakfast and pizza place just down the road was good. the hotel is older but clean enough. my complaint is that it advertised queen bed but definitely not that big. it's fine place for just a night stay while traveling

Easy in and out

Received email check-in instructions prior to arrival which made it quick and easy. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Location was great. Easy access to Grand Staircase and choice of restaurants within walking distance (but keep in mind it's Escalante, not NYC 😉). Would stay again.

Ok budget property for a short stay, comfortable bed
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bed was overall comfortable but the hard edges weren’t good. Could use new ones. Another shelf in the bathroom would help. And some art on the walls would make it homier. But the room had great amenities and was very quiet.
