We had a great stay here. The rooms were very clean The hotel is located within walking distance to restaurants and stores and a short drive to Dinosaur National Monument. The staff was very friendly, especially the owner. A nice, complimentary breakfast was available, too. Been on road for little over 2 weeks, if your coming to Vernal, Utah and need to stay, this is the place.

This place was wonderful and the staff was amazing. I never stayed here because it always looked bad from the outside and it was cheap, but I finally stayed here and the rooms were incredibly amazing and better than some 4 star hotels I've been to. I was truly amazed and very satisfied with the breakfast, rooms, and services. Thank you very much for a pleasant stay. This may be my new favorite place to stay in Vernal, UT.

Dinosaur Inn's arrangement is an old style motor lodge- it is very convenient having one's car parked right in front of your room. The rooms are good size, updated, very clean, with good appointments and furnishings. Decent breakfast is provided also. Traveling across country by car having stopped at many hotels and motels, this was a very good stop to see Dinosaur National Monument.

This is my first stay at the Dinosaur Inn
I have stayed two nights here and will be here one more night. The motel is one of the best non chain motels that I have ever stayed at. Room is large and bath has stall shower (no tub) which I prefer. Bed is comfortable. Breakfast is ok. Very convenient to the quarry side of Dinosaur National Monument. Was able to walk to nearby restaurants for dinner. I could find no real downside to staying at this motel. Would stay here again on any future visit.

Great place to stay, the people that worked there were very accommodating and happy to help you.
Breakfast was there no extra charge every morning.
Their parking spots were a great size so you could get out without dinging someone's vehicle or they yours.
You could walk to a great restaurant and the Utah field museum. I would return.

I picked this place solely on the fact it is the "dinosaur inn". We are traveling across country, stopping at dinosaur themed attractions. Our dinosaur obsessed 7yr old is having the time of his little life!
Back to the inn. I am extremely happy with the quality of this place! The room is large and clean! The beds weren't uncomfortable. The microwave and fridge are an excellent bonus in any hotel room. A/C unit worked great! There are chairs outside most rooms! The outside area is well maintained. Shower and bathroom have soap dispensers; instead of little bottles- this is a plus in my book!

We travel a lot and were surprised to find this gem of a motel at a very reasonable price! Clean room with some nice touches. Definitely upscaled for a motel.
The room was spacious- made the king bed look small! The shower was lovely with good water pressure and temperature. The only recommendation I would add is to bring your own pillows. The pillows were too poofy for our liking.
We were tempted to stay another night, but we are heading East and would have to double back. If you come through Vernal, definitely consider staying here!

What a wonderful place to stay! We booked last minute due to a change in our plans and the folks at Dinosaur were incredible. We love to support local businesses as often as we can and this is a family owned space and this family takes a lot of pride in making the stay and accommodations just right. In house breakfast hits the spot and beds are really comfortable.
Everyone in my party agreed we'd stay again if ever in Vernal.

Last minute I changed my reservation on Booking.com from Comfort Inn to Dinosaur Inn and Suites. It was a few dollars more, but I am so glad I made the change!
The room was huge and clean, and the owners prepare a breakfast for you (you choose what you want from a menu), rather than providing a measly 'grab and go' like the big chains.
Highly recommend!

There's not a massive number of reviews, but there's a reason this place is 5 stars. It's the whole package. It's NOT a chain. Yea. The owners nice, and they made a huge effort to handle things like breakfast properly during COVID. The rooms are large, clean, and bright. The price is good, and the location perfect. It's right in the middle of town.
There's not a lot else to say, except you need this on your short list of places to stay.

My fiancé and I stayed here for two nights while visiting Dinosaur National Monument (Utah side). We chose this hotel due to its affordable cost and location. It's about a 25 min drive to Dinosaur NM and located near a bunch of restaurants and gas stations. Some nice perks include free parking, free WiFi, and a complementary hot/cold breakfast served every morning. Due to covid, they have a menu where you choose what you want and someone will be there to assist you. It was more like a "grab and go" type of breakfast but we didn't mind because it was a great breakfast while

Wonderful place. Was delighted to meet Innkeeper Cody. He and his team simply could not be more welcoming. The Inn itself sparkles and is perfectly situated on Main Street. The adjacent restaurant Antica Forma is terrific and the breakfast Cody served was simply great.
We loved the whole area and made a mental note to return for an extended stay. We will absolutely stay again at the Dinosaur Inn & Suites when we do.

Stayed one night here...could have stayed more! Staff was incredibly friendly, lobby was very nice and clean, and the continental breakfast was beyond a continental breakfast. The room was huge, bed was a Simmons BeautyRest (Yeah, we checked, because it was that good!), and the bathroom had been totally renovated. All in all, LOVED IT!
