It was a clean and quiet room to stay in. The whole town had a problem for a few hours in the evening when there was a power outage due to a storm that came up. They did not have backup power.

Nice motel
Nice room and easy parking. I slept great. I especially appreciated that the air conditioner cooled the room down quickly and I could turn it off for a while and the room stayed cool. I also appreciated the notebook about Hanksville with the name of the grocery store. I bought food for the next day and they had everything I wanted. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues in the room that I didn't go to the office to mention. The extra door lock didn't turn and the curtain was partly off the rod.
