Loved it!!

We were on a road trip from Utah back to Texas. We stopped at the Dinosaur Inn because it had the best reviews in the area. There was me, my husband, 3 kids, and grandpa. I was hoping to find a room big enough for all of us without renting two rooms. They had a family room with a king, two queens, and a fold out couch. It was perfect for everyone. I have OCD and hotels are never up to par for me. The Dinosaur Inn was spotless! I looked for things and fortunately did not find anything that was not clean. The bathroom was huge. The man at the front desk was so kind and helpful when we showed at 11pm that night. He explained the town and where different places to take the kids were. Breakfast was hot and ready with our own made waffles. I am giving this Inn a 10+. It was fantastic.

Would happily stay again.

Clean and as pictured. Staff was friendly. Awseome restraunt in the lot. Good housekeeping. Beds were comfortable but a little too tall (for an almost 4yr old at least.)
