First, it was clean, and the service was pretty good. The night desk clerk was amiable and helpful when we checked in very late.
But then there are some annoying things. Like their advertised "high-speed internet." It wasn't speedy. Connectivity, at least on the third floor, was terrible. My new notebook computer couldn't do streaming video, for example. Downloads were slow at best.
Few in Utah likely would sympathize with me on this. But it's the motel's policy not to allow drinking in this motel. I was looking forward to enjoying a few microbrew beers (try Capt. B!stard's Oatmeal Stout if you can find it -- I had to edit the word b!stard to get this review past the filtersA), but had to scuttle that plan -- and this was supposed to be my vacation.
The breakfast bar was just OK -- but frustrating. There was such a big line to use the waffle maker, and I finally gave up. There is zilch protein there, unless you settle for a peanut butter or cream cheese pre-fab micro-container. I couldn't find any knives nor forks. I spread the peanut butter with a spoon onto a tiny bagel. I only tried the breakfast bar once. My wife tried the breakfast bar three times and said they ran out of orange juice when she visited. Granted, this isn't meant to be a 4-star dining experience. I didn't know that you could get the local newspaper delivered to your room until the last day of our three-day stay, and then I saw them lining the hallway. I would have asked for a newspaper had I known.
This motel might suit a lot of folks, but I'll look for something else when I visit my Utah relatives next time.
What could be 3 or 4 out of 5 stars gets downgraded for the above-cited reasons to 2 stars because of motel policy shoving its morals down my unsuspecting throat, and also because of Internet problems. If you're a tea-totaler who doesn't care about Web access, and you're going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, this might be a great place for you.
