Lovely stop off on our road trip. Several choices for dinner very close to the motel. Comfortable and quiet, with a large sized room, enjoyed the jetted bath after many weeks of showers.

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.
