Disliked: Room comfort

Slightly cleaned up road side motel with a broken dryer in the laundry room and a toilet that took numerous tries to get it to stop running. Really cramped space in the rooms. On check in I felt that we were imposing for having checked in electronically just before arriving. Will say the maintenance guy was very quick to fix the dryer and super friendly.

Way better than I thought it would be for a place almost in the middle of nowhere. Staff helpful and informative. Happy to talk. About the only problem experienced was I could not access my emails because my security software was not happy. I could still do google. I wasn't going to try my nank

For a small place like Hanksville, it’s great! What do you expect a Four Seasons? Some of the negative reviews on here are out of touch. Hanksville is a nice little town.

For a Motel, this was a great experience. The front desk clerk was cheery and helpful. The room was huge and had plenty of storage. Spotless also.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this motel. There is not a lot of choice in this area so we stayed here and found it to be clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable and there was an excellent restaurant nearby. There was no breakfast which was a negative for me.
