What we didn't realize was that coming to Monticello, there was also a nearby fire! I had called the day before and was assured we'd be pretty safe here. We drove here and was shocked to see the huge smoke cloud from the fire! We took our chances and stayed the night. The office is open during limited hours. We arrived in time to be checked in by a person. Our paperwork was ready and waiting for us. However, in the morning, the office was closed when we were leaving. There's a box with a slot to turn in your keys, so we did that. This is a little motel with rooms looking like they would have back in the 50's-60's era. I enjoyed seeing the vintage features like the real room keys, Frigidaire Refrigerator and corded desk phone with a dial (even though you push the buttons). Even the facial tissue box was covered with a decorative old T.V. set. Something they had here that is not so common at hotels anymore is the Gideon Bible. The room comes with a window A/C unit and a space heater. Our room was #121, a Deluxe King. I booked it through Expedia.com. The room rate was $81.00 plus tax. Pretty fair price! This place was stocked with all the common necessities. We had a coffee maker in the room, but didn't use it. We should have, though! I appreciated the little nook with the desk. Outside the rooms are benches. Also there are parking spaces in front of the rooms. We were able to park right in front of our door. That was very convenient! We had a nice quiet night's rest. Woke up in the morning and checked on the smoke from the fire. It had shifted away from Monticello, so that was a welcome sight to see!

The place is and elevated motel in a quaint town of Blanding. You're greeted at arrival by a kindly and courtesy host. I love no door key to lose just a code to get into your room. The parking lot is nicely set up the lodge is surrounded by lovely plants and trees. We had a nice patio set outside which we used to have dinner. Our room was quite large w a big bed there's two night stands a desk area large tv on and dresser; another bed in an alcove is great for another person to have a bit of privacy w a night stand. The room had a microwave, fridge and coffee maker w a selections of coffee and teas. Bathroom was large and a great shower area w a nice shower head that had good hot water when needed. The amenities were awesome. The soap smelled great and had an amazing exfoliating seeds build in. The body lotion felt so luxurious on my skin. Towels and bed linens were perfect. If you read my posts about food you know I'm a water snob well when lodging in a sheet snob (my husband would say I'm like the princess and the pea). The sheets were soft and comfy. We had a restful nights sleep and awesome shower w great pressure. We then we welcomed to a breakfast all homemade even seemed the juices we fresher squeezed. I had the savory crusty bread w egg, tomato, kielbasa, ham and cheese inside it was so yummy. They had whole wheat cinnamon rolls that the frosting was great as well as the great flavor. The overnight chia was great loved the creaminess of the mixture but the fruit on top was fresh. The oj was as fresh and the coffee (I'm not a coffee drink but my mom said it was great). She gave us banana bread to take and it was dense and great. We ate breakfast in the back garden which was pretty and peaceful. They had patio tables, picnic tables but also had chaises and fire pits. I love that they had a bowl of chocolate to choose from rather than a chocolate on your pillow (which always seems weird and bring bugs. I would go here again and hope I get back to the area to do

Check-in was a ghost town--no one around, had to hunt down someone who looked annoyed we existed. Room felt like a dusty antique store explosion: creaky floors that groaned like they were dying every time you moved, poor lighting so dim you could barely see your own feet, and lightbulbs that were straight-up burned out. Bed was okay if you like lumpy mattresses from the 1800s, but the pillows were flat as pancakes and smelled faintly of old attic. Breakfast? More like a sad self-serve disaster. Tables were dirty, no utensils half the time, trash overflowing, and the "continental" spread was basically stale muffins, watery coffee that tasted like regret, and some sad fruit that had seen better days. No host interaction, no warm vibes--just grab-and-go neglect. The whole place had this weird abandoned energy. No real hospitality, plumbing sounded like a freight train every time someone flushed, and the "quaint" antiques just made everything feel grimy and neglected. Paid way too much for a night of discomfort and disappointment. Zero charm, zero comfort, zero reason to ever come back. It just sucked. Hard. Avoid unless you enjoy paying for regret. 0/10, would rather sleep in the car.

It had been hot all week. 105+ and my two prior lodging choices that advertised AC and WiFi, both failed to deliver AC or WiFi or allow canceling a non-cancelable resv. I arrived without a firm resv, but booking.com said they had one room available. In the lobby is a sign directing guests to call a phone number. No answer. There is another sign with a different number. No answer. There is a button on the wall to summon help. No help arrived. I found my way to the adjacent restaurant. Servers directed me to the bartender. No clue if a room was available. No idea if the rooms had AC. They have window AC units that hat work just fine. No idea if the room had a private or shared bath. Room 4 has a private bath. The only way to book and check-in while standing in the lobby is booking.com. I booked one night. It was then I discovered that the door to room #4 would not close. Further inspection revealed that the strike plate was not (mortised) flush into the door frame. Examining the door, it became apparent that the door could be forced closed, but only if I really put my shoulder in to it. The room and bath were clean and spacious. The stairway is a tad narrow, but that is hardly unexpected for vintage buildings. The restaurant staff is friendly, but uninformed about the lodging operation. The towels were thin and coarse, not plush. They reminded me of the earlier Days Inn stay that was a 0-star experience. I ordered nachos from the bar. Nothing special. Think gas station nachos. The bartender is friendly and makes a damn fine margarita. On-street parking only. Breakfast was not available, so off to the market. Would I return? Maybe.

One of the sons (now in his 70/80's) greeted us at checkin who was super friendly and helpful. We got a room right next to the front desk on the first floor. The room felt a little like walking into my grandmas home, modest with a few personal touches. A decorative Indian lamp in one Corner, SUPER soft quilt like comforter. I curled myself up in that comforter and was blissfully comfortable all night. Very clean, fridge, very small breakfast area in the AM but for the price it was simply enough. I appreciated the hard boiled eggs for a bit of protein. Super convenient to the Tesla EV supercharger station across the street.

The air conditioner was extremely dusty and dirty, and the room had a strong chemical smell Like cheap knock off lysol or something. The comforter on the bed was visibly dirty. When I contacted housekeeping, I was told that comforters are only washed once a month unless they need it. In this case, it clearly needed to be washed. The housekeeper did provide a replacement howeve, She also seemed annoyed that I brought the issue to her attention. The toilet was dirty, and there was no soap provided in the bathroom. Fortunately, I had my own so I didn't have to ask that rude housekeeper for anything else. Overall, the room did not meet basic cleanliness standards, and the response to my concerns by housekeeping was absolutely disappointing. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this motel to others.

The service was amazing throughout with every member of the team being helpful, providing recommendations and going above and beyond. The communal area is also very well done with seating perfect for sunsets with a cocktail or nice bottle of wine, and some very delicious food. The dipping pools, firepits are also a very nice touch. The food throughout was amazing, breakfast lunch and dinner as well as some smore's! The test we had was overall a very good size with a comfy bed, fireplace and full bathroom. The only issue was that our tent was a little older, or at least the canvas was and it seemed to trap cold air in. The first night was a bit tough to sleep through but the second night we were able to get the fireplace going to keep heat throughout the tent. All in all, I would recommend anyone try it at least once, PLUS dog friendly!!

So many areas for improvement. The furniture is sparse and as comfortable as the laying on the red rocks in the desert. Pretty sure the mattresses were taken from an Utah prison (after they were done with them)! This place doesn't even provide waters in the tents. They don't even make up your tent each day. All in all, the place is over priced by a lot. The sights are fantastic because ULUM has no cost controls over them, but the tranquility is constantly interrupted by noises from rude guests that think tent walls are sound proof or golf carts kicking up dust and racket. You apparently need reservations to eat in an empty restaurant in a "resorts" that has 50 tents. Else be death stared by rude kids (don't see any actual adults running the place) that are apparently put out by everything. Save your money and look around. Don't have regrets like us.
