“This Vernal hotel stands out with its surprisingly spacious suites, making longer stays or family trips genuinely comfortable; plus, the indoor pool and hot tub are definite assets after a day exploring Dinosaur National Monument. What I particularly noted was the pet-friendly stance, extending to accommodations designed for dogs, something that can be hard to find done well. A solid choice, especially when balancing adventure and convenience.”
