They give you the breakfast you ask for, rather than having you find it. But you make your own waffles.

Front office staff were pleasant. Early check in was not available. Room was of moderate size for a king room, clean and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was small but adequate with enough towels provided. This post-covid lack of daily housekeeping, given the cost of the room, is not appreciated. The location was great for walking to good dining options and museums. This was especially important as the facility is right on Route 40. It's impossible to turn east directly out of the motel parking lot with all of the traffic.

OK, it is Vernal Utah afterall. But this was a great motel (doors open to the outdoors). Super fast check-in. Super fast check-out. Found a great Italian restaurant right next door/on the property. Room was execellent. Very comfy bed. Lots of space. Easy to control AC/heating unit. DirectTV with a fair number of channels. All good.

I loved the location. Also, the breakfast was convenient and good. The room did not have carpet, which is fine, but it needs to be wet mopped each day. Our feet got dirty. Also, room 130 did not have a working bathroom vent fan. Lastly, the parking is a problem for the rooms in that wing due to the handicapped parking spots. Those two handicapped spots should be returned to general parking and the spots probably numbered to the room number so that each occupant has a place to park.

This is the third time we have stayed at the Dinosaur Inn so it feels a bit like home. We come to Vernal to attend a conference at the Conference Center which is just around the corner. Breakfast is great in the morning and the beds are comfortable. We will be back!

Stayed twice, so obviously we liked it. This review is only for this most current stay. Our last stay, all 5 stars. However this time, the maid did not do any service to our room the third day we were there. Ran out of toilet paper. Front desk provided us some. Otherwise, I think it is a very nice place to stay
