Stayed here Apr 30th on our way to Moab. Great stopover point. All rooms are nonsmoking, no pets. Rooms were good size w/ fridge and micro. Manager was very friendly, gave some great travel tips for the Needles Overlook of Canyonlands. Spectacular views, 22 miles off Rt 191, not marked on most travel maps. Slept late and missed the breakfast so can't rate the food. Ate at the Lamplight in town that evening and had a great meal. Would definitely stay here again.

Was not expecting alot since I had read the reviews from other travelers but I was more than pleasantly surprised. I don't know what some of these guests had experienced but my stay was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful and met all of our needs. It is a small town after all. Maybe what people should realize is that things available in other areas will not be the same in a very small rural community Rooms were very large but we stayed in the "over-sized" double queen rooms. It was twice the size of a "normal" hotel room with great bathrooms and showers for only $10 more...Great value!!! Breakfast was similar to most other motels with an expanded continental. They did have peanut butter. i was in heaven. English muffins with peanut butter....life doesn't get better.

After having traveled 20 straight hours, Monticello was a sight for sore eyes and the Wayside Inn provided us with a reasonably priced stay and service that made us want to recommend it to anyone going through that part of Utah! Rich was the manager the night/morning we were there, and he was awesome. He went and got us bags of ice since the machine wasn't working correctly, he fixed the orange juice machine, and most importantly he made us laugh. Rich told us not to ask people around town for oil because everyone carried guns, so he sent us to a place he knew would give us a quart of oil without trying to rip us off. He also told us hilarious stories about poking rattlesnakes with sticks and how he ended up in rural Utah from Detroit, Michigan. Most importantly to us he absolutely loved Utah and made us appreciate the state as well! We have fond memories of our stay at the hotel because of his friendliness and determination to make our trip memorable.

We stayed there for 2 nights and was charged double. The price is not what it says in trip advisor. The desk attendant is unfriendly. The rooms look and smells clean but when you see underneath the covers are really dirty. There was hair everywhere. The bathtub has a lot of mildew. There were stains in the toilet. It is not worth to pay anything for it. They should have priced it $30 for their rooms. We always pass by Monticello every summer but next year would be a different hotel. I shoud have known. I should have believed the reviews here. It is not worth staying here.
