Pretty good motel-quality stay. Liked double sinks & sitting area. At 5'4", I was taller than the shower head, so there was that and when we had neighbors just one night we clearly heard luggage moving, TV/conversations... so the walls could use some insulation but this is a convenient, well-maintained property that is in a good location for hiking in the area.

What a Find
What a find. Very comfortable and clean right where we were hiking in Escalante. It’s the off season, so food options are minimal. I wish we could have eaten at their restaurant.
