Room was perfectly quaint, and warm, the beds very comfy, shower was nice. On the pet friendly side 10/10 totally hassle free and they left treats which was a sweet touch. They called multiple times ensuring we would be able to enter our room even after office hours. Super simple visit, very appreciated!

They need 10 stars ! Huge clean rooms, affordable prices, warm comfy beds and super peaceful. The owner and manager are amazing, they are the nicest people I have come across in a long time. They also serve a lite breakfast with tea, coffee or cocoa but if your looking for something a little extra there is a tasty coffee stand on the property.

A hidden gem. The Inn has clean, well supplied rooms. There is a small grocery store across the street and a couple of cute places to eat around the corner. It was so quiet and peaceful my dog had her best night of sleep on the whole road trip. The coffee is good, the staff is attentive and kind. If you are headed towards Moab its a great choice, if you find yourself in Monticello then please just drive to the state line and stay in Dove Creek instead.

I would give this place a 10 star if I could. The room was very spacious and super clean. Caleb was super kind and very helpful. I couldn’t make it anymore driving and they accommodated my big family and my pets. Food is right across the street which was super convenient. If you plan on staying there, tell Caleb I said Hi. He’s a great guy and ask him about his adventure across the country. Amazing!!!!

I just wanted to leave my opinion. I stayed last here last night and I was pretty surprised. It was super neat and clean. Very quiet and the owner was so nice. He left us waters in the fridge. The beds were nice. The room was prewarmed. I would definitely recommend staying here. I will definitely be staying here again if and when I pass through.

This is a cute place to stay, right on the main road. Caleb was so nice, had left waters for us in the fridge and had the heater on so it was warm when we arrived. He even upgraded us to a larger room at no cost. The room was very clean and was larger than I expected. A good place to stay. Plus there's a food truck in the big parking lot that has good breakfast items, etc.
