What a cute inn! We had a room across from the outdoor pool. Liked that we could park our car right outside our door. Rooms were very clean and we enjoyed their complimentary breakfast! Staff was very friendly! It was a great location as we were going to visit the Dinosaur National Park. Would highly recommend this inn!

I booked this based on price and location, plus their free breakfast. We arrived on a Monday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. and were able to check in. The property is located in the heart of the Vernal business district, within an easy walk of any businesses in the area. We walked to dinner each night. The layout appears to be the combination of 2 distinct original motels, now combined. This includes an Italian restaurant (reviewed separately). The rooms associated with both of the original motels surround a pool. Rooms are direct access to the parking lot (i.e., no 'central hallway'), which was fine for us. Check-in was easy. They also provide a couple of computers for guest access. This was useful on our last night for printing our boarding passes. In addition, they allow access to their dining room so that you can refill water bottles throughout the day, a service which we took full advantage of. Rooms in back of the pool are slightly trickier to park, but otherwise there was no issue. Our room was spacious in terms of where you can lay out a suitcase. There was also plenty of room on the bathroom counter for all 3 of us. This was in stark contrast to some places we've stayed in the last year (I'm looking at you, Amsterdam!). The only slight drawback to the room was the beds. I don't know that this was quite 'queen size', so 2 of us together both felt a bit cramped. It wasn't a big deal, though. Breakfast on the mornings we stayed here was from 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.

After going to Dinosaur National Monument it seemed appropriate to stay at the Dinosaur inn. The rooms were big, very clean and the motel was close to restaurants. I especially liked no news in the breakfast room and instead watching the Flintstones which was also very appropriate.

Would stay again

This place is great, unlike typical motor inns. Bathroom was clean. Beds are comfy. Pillows were medium. Provided shampoo, hand soap, body lotion, conditioner, shower gel. Keurig coffee in the room. Breakfast was adequate, too hyped on reviews. They had cereal, waffles, burrito, eggs, sausage links, yogurt, cinnamon buns, etc. I would recommend for a stay.

The beds were great. The carpet needs a good cleaning. A ledge to enter the bathroom is a trip hazard in the dark. There is no trailer parking, we were there for a ATV trip and had to park down the street 2 blocks on a city street. The breakfast was great and not self serve, that I really apricate. I would consider staying again if we did not have a trailer. Staff was friendly. The place is not pet friendly. I love that. But of course people did bring dogs, and the wake up with barking dogs at 5 a.m. was not great. Apparently they need to have a few rooms for service dogs.
