By now we are into "Arrive late, leave early mode" as we zig zag across the States. We are looking for location; clean; comfortable; quiet (no drunken parties or screaming kids around the pool) and fits inside our budget. Always ask 2 questions with regards to wifi and laundry facilities. The Monticello ticked all those boxes and what we were learning that the rooms were average American size, but to us, they were spacious and generous which of course raises the bar for the rest of our travel expectations.

Having driven from Page throught the awesome Monument Valley, and dawdled for endless photo opportunities we opted to break the journey at Monticello (UT). The owner was extrememly kind and friendly and suggested somewhere to eat and other places to visit. We actually had no problems with the wifi and were able to update family on our progress. The room was spotless and generous in size. (Don't you just love that extra bed to spread your cases on?) Clean bathroom and luxury toiletries were all pluses. We couldn't hold them responsisble for the sudden drop in temperature which brought an unseasonal weather-watch to the area, but we were glad the heater worked well. We are happy to give an unashamed and well-deserved full marks to people that clearly are trying very hard.

Got the last room on a late night check in. The room was very clean, spacious and a great bargain. We stayed in a larger room for only $70.00. There was a small fridge in the room. The lady at the front desk was courteous and extremely helpful. She even offered us some popcorn to help tide our hunger over till morning.

For my wife, it has to be clean, or I'm in trouble. This was a bargain at $50 a night and much cheaper than Moab. It is an older motel with no breakfast. A good price and well situated to visit multiple national parks. Family owned business.
