    I came to Utah to visit Moab after arriving in Moab all hotels were sold out so we ended up in Monticello. After getting to the hotel I was kinda leary looked old and kinda run down but to find out someone had just bought the hotel and was in process of refurbishing it. Our room was very nice beds were comfortable and the room was clean no mold. I would definitely stay here again friendly people Beautiful state

    Monticello is the best base to visit The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. It takes about an hour to get to the visitor center - if you do not make any stops on your way. But the surrounding nature is wonderful, so you probably make lots of stops to take photos. The road into the national park in Indian Creek Canyon is very scenic. Monticello is a small and quiet town. There's nothing to do there except to spend your night. There are two pizza saloons (the medium pizza costs $15), a Mexican restaurant which had a growing line of customers in the evening and a Thai restaurant which is probably the most expensive in town (minimum $20 for a meal, no drinks). Its worth to go and have a look at a Mormon temple on the edge of town - it is beautiful.

    Lots of beautiful places accessible nearby.

    Lots of beautiful places accessible nearby. Town is and has been a drab and boring place unless you live there. With a few exceptions it doesn’t hold much for travelers. Small grocery store, ample fuel stations, hospital. Not known for its restaurants.

    Monticello is a convenient place to stay for visiting Canyonlands NP and other area attractions. We were there on a Sunday, and we found many of the restaurants closed, but the ones open offered enough choices of food to eat.

    Has few retail opportunities.

    Has few retail opportunities. Most of the restaurants are seasonal which ends on Sept 30th. There are three gasoline stations which seems adequate. This is the gateway to the Needles District of Canyonlands.

    we wanted a place close to Needles section of Canyonlands NP. Many of the places we wanted to go were dirt roads requiring 4 wheel drive. we really could have stayed a day less. On the extra day we did enjoy a nice road trip to 4 corners and the Cortez, CO. The country is beautiful around here. Monticello was an the best stopping point for our purposes. We certainly could have eliminated one of the three nights, but it worked out.

    Authentic atmosphere, spacious room, very very clean, good benefits such as free coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the dining area, fast WiFi and free big parking. I would like to add that for this price is more than worth it, I have seen angry reviews about breakfast but come on people. Many hotels with higher price don’t provide breakfast and have much more to pay adds.

    Really great Breakfast. We were upgraded to a queen suite with patio/balcony as the hotel room they first put us in was not appealing, dark, old furnishing, no view except for the roof, tvs didn't work, Managers were terrific. Came over to see if they could fix the tvs but they were not hooked up and offered us the suite.

    This motor inn was a very pleasant surprise. The rooms have been recently refurbished and were fresh and bright. The double glazing on the windows meant that there was no road noise, the shower was great and the towels were thick. The bed was comfortable and we had a good sleep. I would happily stay here again.

    The Domes are tucked away and 5 minutes to 7-11. The dome itself is a work of art. I don’t know who their interior designer was but it is absolutely darling! Well lit with solar lights. We had a king bed that was hotel quality. It was wonderful! Mark and Sharon are super classy. Great hosts.

    The room was in a former barn, along with a few other rooms. This makes for a very different experience from a regular hotel. There was a well-equipped shared kitchen and general area. We left an e-reader upon departure, which the staff found and mailed to another place we would stay at.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was better than expected. Parking was good and the pet area was really clean and even had a couple of benches. There were picnic tables at the rear of the hotel as well. The grounds were clean and well maintained.

    It’s truly family owned and operated. Very clean rooms that have recently been remodeled. Only 50 miles from Moab where rates are almost triple from you’d pay here. Also very near to Canyonlands National Park, Natural Bridges National Monument and Wilson’s Arch.

    The hotel is on the north end of town but not too much so that it's inconvenient. It's close to the main road into town so road noise is definitely an issue, even more so if your room is on the east side of the building.

    Not expensive and clean.Monticello is not very lively, but far less expensive than Moab if you want to visit the Needles in Canyonland NTL park. try the excellent Mexican restaurant which is at a walk-in distance

    The Atomic Blue Motor-Inn is a gem in the Utah roughness! The room was fresh and clean and very vibrant with cool retro touches. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Utah for more explorations.

    Really cool to stay at a dome. We woke up at 2am to watch the stars and Milky Way, no light pollution around. My family really enjoyed the experience. They are dog friendly as well.

    The Grist Mill Inn was a pleasant surprise. Nice to arrive in the evening and find that the restaurant and bar were still open. Squeaky floors and wonky stairs added to the charm.

    It's one of my favorite motels. It's starting to show it's age, but it's mostly clean, comfortable, and not too loud. Looks like they are starting to renovate.

    Cheap and cheerful. The receptionist was particularly friendly and helpful, and gave us a great steer for an excellent Thai dinner just a walk into town.
