Hanksville Utah.
I liked the Whispering sands. Great hikes close by and the hotel was quiet and nurturing for a great few days in Utah's beautiful country.

8/10 Very good

Great option for a remote area
It seemed like it had recent upgrades - vinyl flooring and newer bath. Clean (what they can keep clean with the sand blowing in) and comfortable.

4/10 Fair

Slightly cleaned up road side motel with a broken dryer in the laundry room and a toilet that took numerous tries to get it to stop running. Really cramped space in the rooms. On check in I felt that we were imposing for having checked in electronically just before arriving. Will say the maintenance guy was very quick to fix the dryer and super friendly.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this motel. There is not a lot of choice in this area so we stayed here and found it to be clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable and there was an excellent restaurant nearby. There was no breakfast which was a negative for me.

Lovely stop off on our road trip. Several choices for dinner very close to the motel. Comfortable and quiet, with a large sized room, enjoyed the jetted bath after many weeks of showers.

Clean, staff was very friendly. But...they do not open until 3:00, so there is no early check in.
