Another one of those very old motels. Can't spend more than a night here. I spent about $84 (including tax) of a night's stay here. We wanted to find something cheap and close to Bryce Canyon Natl. Park. I stayed here because I didn't want to spend more. But I now believe I will find much better place for a few extra bucks or even for less.

Room was tiny. Shower was not hot. Beds were no fun. Appearance was shabby from inside. TV was old. Furnitures were super old and not well kept either. I don't see these kind of places in American anymore. I travel about 15-20 times a year and many times to small and remote places like Mexican Hat, UT & Panguitch, UT.

I will strongly advice to look for a different hotel. There are plenty of them but not this one.

The room was very dated. Overall it was clean and big with two sinks in the bathroom. The people in the room above us were so noisy I could hear their steps the whole night. That was really terrible. The town itself was horrifying and very deserted - almost scary. Almost everything was closed (saturday early evening) and there were no people on the streets at all.

We had dinner in a small and surprisingly full of people place called "The cowboys smoke shop" with live music.

The obvious draw for staying in Panguitch is its closeness to Bryce National Park. There are some motels almost at the entrance, but they are expensive, there is no grocery store, etc. around them, and there were no vacancies for the days we wanted to visit the Park. The New Western Motel was convenient, our room was very clean, and it was a third the price of the hotels nearer the Park entrance. They were a month or so away from finishing their new office and breakfast room. The breakfast room available during our stay was very small with a minimum of items to eat. The desk clerk seemed unfriendly, but our reservation was accurate, so his attitude didn’t bother us. We enjoyed staying at this motel and would stay again the next time we visit Bryce.

Beds were good but that's all. They use Best Western as a ploy but it is not so - far from it. Super 8 in Idaho Falls is sme price and 10 times the comfort and quality. With the present management this place will close.
