This property was under a major renovation, which was noted when I booked, thus the 4 star. We were on 2nd floor which most of which was complete. Our room was very nice, all new everything. Bed was comfortable, very clean, no noise from construction. The breakfast was continental as construction did allow for full hot breakfast. No problem for us.

Great location, speedy check in. One elevator which can be a hassle if it’s booked - having to wait. The rooms are clean, the tv is old, the showers need updating, the shower floor made noise every time you moved around. Overall a good stay.m

This hotel charges premium prices for limited service. I got two paper cups for the Keurig and one sheet change that I had to specifically request over 14 nights. The hotel was noisy and poorly managed. I work in the Vernal area around 2-3 months a year. I won't stay here again.

Front desk lacking in customer service

Front desk lady had a attitude. My reservation was for 2 rooms and she said it was only for one. She said I would have to call Hotels.com that I made reservation under. When all she really needed was the other person’s name the other room was under.
