The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is in the middle of town which can be good and bad. If you rent the classic room near the road, there is a lot of truck traffic that is very loud just outside your door. Pay for the rooms one building back. Even with a sound machine at full volume the truck noise was overpowering. Also the AC unit cycled on and off all night and there was no way to have it run continuously to provide background noise, so that too made it hard to sleep.

Comfort and Atmosphere!

We were so happy with the ease of check in, and what a cute room with all the space age, atomic decor. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and we were practically giddy over the choice of which pillow to sleep on. We had to leave very early the next morning, so we didn't get a chance to get one of the specialty coffees available in the lobby. I would recommend Atomic Blue as a Great place to stay 🙂

I love staying at these old Motor Court motels when I travel cross country on my motorcycle. I love that you can park outside your room. This place is super-cool with it's updated mid-century modern vibe. The proprietor & staff were awesome as well. Great place to stop for a night as you pass through!

Wonderful place to stay.

What an adorable place to stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. The decor was very well planned, mid century modern/pin-up oriented. The front desk staff was very friendly. The coffees from the front desk coffee shop were delicious too. I would definitely stay here again.

Great little place in Monticello UT. We had a king room a bit farther from the road which is a good idea. Good price, spotless room, excellent staff.

Property was very clean, staff is nice, the room was very quiet. Perfect area for part of Canyonlands National Park and Newspaper Rock. The only complaints I have is very limited food options, we ended up just grabbing sandwich supplies from the grocery store, and the beds were super firm I prefer a softer bed.
