Second time I stayed at this hotel, it’s more like an INN. The staff is family owned and they keep their rooms nice. They offer refrigerator, microwave, large beds, cable TV, coffee maker and easy parking. It’s nice for a short stay.

Definitely what you think of when the term "roach motel" is brought up. The walls were filthy, there was some kind of mold growing on the phone, and something sticky was all over the little office chair. There was no toilet paper when we first arrived, the curtain grommets were broken and barely closed, and the air conditioner sounded like it was going to explode at any moment. The staff was friendly and the breakfast provided was nice, but overall definitely not somewhere I would recommend.

The room itself was very dated. Not bad, just dated. There were bulbs missing in the bathroom for what i assume is a heat lamp. The switch for the bathroom light was behind the full size fridge so we didnt even know it was there for 2 days. It was clean, though. The front desk/lobby was always locked so if we needed something, ie toliet paper we had to call the number with our cell.

The location was in the center of town and close to restaurants and shopping. The property was very old and repairs were only surface level. Old flooring, old AC unit, new sink in bathroom but old mirror with stickers on it. Holes in the walls not repaired. Dirty walls. Not very clean. Black hair on walls, in shower, on hair dryer handle. Bathroom door could not be closed. Tiles missing on shower floor. Would not recommend this place.

We picked this hotel for its proximity to the Shakespeare Festival. Really couldn't beat how close it was--made for a lovely walk. Definitely a quirky little hotel. Our AC unit was falling off the wall and we could see light around it from outside so there is no way it was working correctly. Even though it was set to 68 I was so hot the first night. They do charge per person, which was annoying because I was paying for the two bed room anyway, and the two extra kids I had really didn't use up much resources. We did have a full size fridge in our room, bathroom had a heat lamp and bidet BUT the bathroom products weren't filled and our TP ran out the first day (they didn't leave an extra roll in the room). Breakfast options were pretty pared down and 50% were gone/empty with no one around to refill. I was more pleased with the price vis a vis the condition of the hotel before they charged me more for my two extra occupants.

The price seemed to be about right for a two star motel. The room had too many big chairs and pieces of old furniture. Had a coffee pot but no place to plug it in so I had to put in my the bed where the outlet was. Pillow smelled like whoever used it last. People that worked there seemed nice. Front desk said it was a "green motel" so no toilet paper. I assume that was to save money. They had a hose hooked up to the toilet instead. Seemed a little gross to touch it to clean yourself after others have used it. I think it had potential to be great place.

Not Fancy, but a great location/good price.

Clean and comfortable. Simple breakfast included. It could use a renovation, but if you're not trying to impress anybody / yourself, it's a good value, and a location that's hard to beat. Walking distance to the Shakespeare Festival and downtown businesses.

A Nice Little Budget Motel - Best Location

This is a small family operation, so it's a bit older and not updated. They don't have a 24 hour front desk and they don't service your room every day (if you're staying more than 1 night). But, it is the most convenient location in Downtown Cedar City - walk to everything including the Shakespeare Festival/SUU. The staff is friendly and they have basic breakfast.
