“Nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

Did a 6,000 mile trip across the U.S. this summer. This was one of the more expensive rooms we found.
They re-defined the word continental breakfast. It was the worst of all the places we stayed
It was cold cereal, coffee and two old donuts!! We left for McDonalds. On our way down the stairs upon leaving, we saw a big box of fresh donuts covered under a table. Most likely being saved to extend the breakfast! Lots of other places in town!!!
PS. first time I ever complained about a continental breakfast.

I am very sorry about the experience you had with the breakfast. I wished that you would have been able to sample the waffles that you can make yourself. Or the breakfast sandwhiches, eggs, fresh sliced grapefruit, bananas, apples. We also have bagels, english muffins, three types of muffins, toast, milk, orange or apple juice. The select brand of coffee with three types of creamers. I wished that you would have been able to have the fresh donuts that are delivered everyday from a local bakery. We also have a great breakfast room with comfortable tables and a large screen t.v. to watch the news while you eat. I hope that the next time you come to Vernal the staff and I will be able to offer you a better breakfast. Thank you Ashlee

“Great night's sleep - large room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, the comfort of the king size bed, check in was quick and easy and the desk clerk was very friendly. Unlike JB;s restaurant where the service was awful and food mediocre. Find somewhere else to eat. Breakfast was included and adequate for hotel food. Set up in the conference room so the setting was a little strange. Room was clean and well appointed with coffee maker, hairdryer, microwave, frig. Pool, laundry and exercise room. Would stay here again if we ever go through Vernal,

“Will stay here again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011 via mobile

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. Bed comfortable and room clean. I am a non-smoker and detected no odor of smoke. Carpet worn, but clean. Town is quaint and pretty. Very friendly folks. Will stay there next time I travel this way. For price of room we have no complaints.

“All the comforts of home !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We always stay at the Dinosaur Inn when we go to Vernal ( Family Reunions, Rodeos, etc. ) ...

It has spacious rooms, beautiful furnishings, VERY comfortable beds, up-to-the-minute decor, and spotlessly clean !

Did I mention the large screen flat-panel TV, Fridge and Microwave as well as free internet ???

I hooked up my laptop to the TV and STREAMED the Lincoln Lawyer to the room !

You couldn't ask for more at a very reasonable rate !

“Modest but acceptable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

A modest establishment in the one-horse town of Vernal. It does what is says though with a good sized air conditioned room and free internet. In the middle of the town but there's nothing much to see and few places to eat.

I am happy to hear that you liked the spacious room and internet we provide at the Best Western Dinosaur Inn. I hope you had an opportunity to try many of the other amenities we offer at the motel. Vernal is small town but it continues to grow each year. If you make it back to Vernal we may have more options on things to see and do, but next time, I suggest you make a trip out to the Dinosaur National Monument and vist the quarry site. The monument have a beautiful drive with stops along the loop, that offer great sight seeing and hiking. Again I thank you for your time.
