Absolutely nothing about this hotel was good except for the hotel receptionist at check in. Our beds were nothing but springs, we had an electrical fixture dangling from the ceiling, loud as hell neighbors, a pool for my daughter that was indoors but closest for the season? Breakfast options weren't refilled and were not exactly a full breakfast aside from the overly dry waffle maker. Juice unfilled, milk half gone. No variety at all. Sketchy and unsafe looking trashy hotel is the best I got.
This Vernal motel boasts an on-site restaurant and offers rooms equipped with a satellite TV with premium channels and free high-speed WiFi. The Uintah County Heritage Museum is 150 metres away.

Owners are on site and very helpful. Seemed very interested in helping us get a comfortable room. Upon our arrival, we were given a room that had high-efficiency LED bulbs which were too bright. We asked for a room change and staff found a large room which had softer, more comfortable lighting. The owners and staff seemed very focused on making patrons comfortable. Room was well insulated and quiet. I am highly impressed and recommend this hotel.

Dinosaur National Monument was great.
Dinosaur National Monument was great. But, be sure to leave time for the petroglyphs on the McConkie ranch. There are some good restaurants. Be advised, many are closed on Sundays, Also, things shut down at 9 pm. It is quite a drive here, so definitely allow a at least couple of days to explore,

Vernal has a lot of interesting things both in the town and close by.
We went to the 7-11 Ranch for dinner and it was excellent and reasonable in its price of option. We attended the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it was beautiful. We visited some family and had a wonderful day all around.

Lovely town with great restaurants. It’s the gateway to Dinosaur National Monument and many hiking sites.
In 2020 we stayed longer and did several same day hiking trips. Plenty to do so make sure to visit.
Loved our stay.

It's a fine town to stay in, lots of motels and restaurants, and a great museum or two. The town likes to capitalize on the dinosaur theme as there are replicas, sometimes business-related, on a number of street corners of the main drag. See also the museum. A lot of oil money has gone into the town over the years, see public buildings and war memorials. Dinosaur National Monument is just a few miles out of town, a must see. Big oil "patch" south of town and beautiful drive over mountain pass on your way back to Grand Junction if you're headed that way.

Vernal is a great little city in the NE corner of Utah.
Vernal is a great little city in the NE corner of Utah. The 7-11 Ranch Restaurant is a local mainstay, and we really enjoyed our dinner there as a family. Vernal is close to Flaming Gorge, Dinosaur National Monument, the Uintah Mountains where Utah's highest peaks are located, and is near the UT-WY-CO borders.
I did not like that there was no housekeeping for a stay of two days. I found that coming back to the room and the bed was not made unsettling. I wish it was mentioned when we checked in.
it would have been better for us to rent a lower price hotel then our expectation would have been lower. this room was expensive for what we got.
also what's with 3 towels when you have 2 people checking in and a two day stay without housekeeping? not cool.
One of the newest hotels in Vernal away from the busy traffic of the city, but close enough to restaurants, gas stations and stores. Its location is also closer to Dinosaur National Monument then all of the hotels in Vernal. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the local hiking trails. We really enjoyed our stay at the Microtel Inn and Suites and would recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.
The breakfast was similar but better than the breakfast at other hotels where I've stayed in town. The clerks at check-in were great! We were able to check in early, which meant a lot because our friends needed to get ready for our photoshoot and needed a place with mirrors, etc. So that was sincerely appreciated!
I liked the price of the hotel the most. The rooms were clean and functional. The breakfast was small and simple, and had the basic necessities, like cereal, toast, fruit, and drink options. The hotel location is the middle of city, so it's very conveniently located to shops and food.
Clean and modern place. Friendly staff, safe environment. Room well equipped. Good Wifi, ok breakfast. Location is a couple of miles outside of the center of Vernal and away from restaurants and shops, but it takes only a few minutes to get there. Great for a short stay.
Included breakfast was OK. The in house restaurant, not part of the hotel (?), is popular not just with the hotel guests. Good price, big portions. Though too calory rich for us.
We used Vernal as a convenient place to stay 3 nights for visiting Dinosaur NM two days.
I try to support local/ family owned businesses whenever possible and am never disappointed with service or accommodations at Dinosaur Inn--it has been our "go-to" place when we travel to Vernal for years. You can't go wrong staying here.
The location in Vernal is very good for access to Dinaosaur NM and Flaming Gorge. The hotel is nice, the rooms are large enough and clean. The breakfast is good as is the overall experience.
A clean hotel that is in a great location in Vernal. Next door to a wonderful Thai Restaurant. The rooms are a bit worn down, such as the carpet and walls. But the beds are very comfortable.
This hotel was beautiful and clean. The staff were all friendly and went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable.
The pool area was also clean and a fun place to hang out.
I loved the location of this hotel. Close to everything we wanted to do. Pool was very nice, my kids got to enjoy it every day. Room was nice and big. Breakfast was nice too.
