We weren't sure what to expect as the property transitioned ownership in between when we made our reservation and when we stayed, but everything was great. They have breakfast for guests now, which was a bonus, and self-check in via keypads at the doors, so that made our late arrival easier than before. Great experience.

We stayed one night at the Inn. The checkin process was a bit confusing, but it worked out. The room was simple but clean and suited our needs. We enjoyed a campfire at night because there was an ample supply of kindling and firewood. Also, the hot breakfast in the morning was a treat. And the staff were very friendly.

Excellent room - I had the Capitol Reef 2 bed suite with kitchenette. Fully equipped with cutlery/crockery/pans etc and I always appreciate it when the hotel includes salt/pepper/cooking oil etc. They serve a top-notch breakfast with cooked food and delicious pastries. Escalante is great if you're travelling to Devil's Garden, Calf creek falls, Kodachrome basin, Escalante bridge etc.
