Everything was clean & I loved being able to park right by my room. The bed wasn't comfy enough for me but I like a soft bed. If I stay ever again I will bring my rollup latex mattress topper. My back was sore when I got up. Other than that, it was an awesome place to stay!

Vintage roadside motel lovingly redone in '50s and '60s chic. QUIET interior in spite of location on truck-busy highway crossroads. Comfortable bed. Room updated and maintained beautifully. Convenient key drop for early risers. Only minor negative is few food options in town in winter (one pizza place and a Thai restaurant)--research before you go. Eat in Moab where all the restaurants are (30 min away), but definitely stay here in Monticello!

This is a cool little retro motel. Very nice staff & location. Rooms are basic, but well equipped with amenities. I especially appreciated the microwave oven and retro mini-fridge.

Love this motel!

We have stayed here many times since the town is a halfway point for our drive. Very clean and comfortable, comfy bed. There is a new coffee shop that makes a nice latte, and a gift store which make it even better.
