When we arrived, the employee at the counter was so kind. Check-in was easy. We got up to the room and we were impressed with the size and the cleanness of the room. The water pressure was amazing. The bed was super soft. He is purple and gold. Although being right on the road, the room was so quiet. We didn't hear anything.We would definitely stay here again

As old as the dinosaurs but with less charm
Many reviews say this motel is exceptional, but that is far from reality. The pool makes it popular for families but my room had that terrible room cleaner, old motel smell. I felt like I needed a shower just staying there. This town is not worth a stop

We stayed at the Dinosaur Inn as part of a multi-city, multi-state trip through multiple National Parks and Monuments. This was, hands-down, the best hotel we stayed in. The room was large with lots of storage space, two TVs, and two large beds plus a fold-out, which became crucial when my wife came down with COVID and had to monopolize a bed by herself. Consequently, we will have to go back to Vernal, and this will definitely be where we stay!

Great hotel. A bit unique and special. Nice comfortable big room, with basic kitchen facility. Quiet. Nice outdoor pool. Good location for Dinosaur National Monument. We visited with 2 children, one 13 and one 19. Plenty of space in the beds. The town is interesting to, with a museum next door. Good breakfast burritos.

Yes, this is a motel. And yes, it is probably what all motels should aim to be like: clean, convenient, great (very friendly and knowledgeable) staff, well located, good sized rooms with the amenities you'd expect, all in working condition and well maintained. The restaurant next door is also a must, by the way. It is a no frills place, but what they do, they do it very well.
