Clean. Good space and location. Easy ride to the National Park, but the best part of the location is the close proximity to other locations in Hanksville before heading to the park (Factory Butte, Long Dong Silver Spire, Moonscape Overlook).

The room was clean and the staff very friendly and accomodating. The rooms are basic, but clean. They could use more hooks on the wall and places to hang clothes and wet towels.

I stayed at this establishment a few years ago, returning this time for another stay, the rooms were renovated and it felt even more cozy. The staff was friendly, every morning they freshened the room and provided fresh towels each time. There's also a friendly cat (one of the cleaning ladies said her name was Luna) that was absolutely adorable. I truly enjoyed my stay and I will gladly return on my next trip to Hanksville. Thank you for providing amazing service!
