The room had a very strong disinfected smell that was blinding. and the carpets were filthy and crunchy. The front desk hospitality was great. They recommended the Italian restaurant right next-door, which was really good.

Great location- easy walk to restaurants if you didn’t just want to eat at restaurant located at motel. Hotel breakfast was decent. Comfortable room, beds were okay. Bathroom clean and shower was great. Fun dinosaur signage. Great size pool! Large shallow area for my 6 year old to play in. Area felt safe and an easy drive to Dinosaur National Monument.

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.
