I love this motel. It is renovated and very nice. It is a decent price and basically the only place in town so they probably could charge more. :) I have stayed here twice now and both times have had a wonderful experience.
We really enjoyed our stay. The beds were so comfortable. We did have an issue with our sink drain, but we left a message with the front desk and they had it fixed that same day.
The perfect spot to make a get away. Quiet rooms , all the typical amenities in the room.
National and State Parks along with Slot Canyons are close by.
Not a lot of choices in Hanksville, but don't worry because this motel is a lovely spot to stay. Super comfortable beds, nicely updated rooms. Would definitely stay again.
This hotel is located at just the right junction: we've stayed here multiple times when visiting the "mighty 5" and Goblin Valley and the Ancestral Puebloan ruins in the area. It has been refreshed and was very clean on our visit, but it is a roadside motel so don't expect the Ritz. Coffeemaker, fridge, microwave, nicer shower than I have at home, comfortable bed, quiet sleep.
Was pleasantly surprised by this motel. It had been updated and was delightful! Clean, and quiet. Had a wonderful meal just across the street at a Mexican restaurant!
Older property but recently renovated. Has a paved parking area which is unique in this area, nice for motorcycles. Hanksville is quite small but has a couple of good restaurants. Very dusty area if the wind blows.
