Good basic accommodation. An excellent location for anyone wanting to do a bit of hiking in the Escalante area. The beds are good - so you will get a good night's sleep. The rooms are not big but all you do is sleep in them. The place is clean and the towels and linens are of good quality. The rooms... More

This place is close to Escalante so it seems to be used a lot by hikes/visitors to the park..The room was small and only 1 night table so my husband and I couldn't' put our stuff on a separate table. There is no central air so the we had to put on the unit which was SO loud, it made... More

We needed a reasonably-priced room in Escalante for 2 nights while hiking in the area. Circle D fit the bill fine but set your expectations accordingly. Positive: $74 a night, pleasant staff, hiking guides and other books about the area in each room, mini-fridge, coffeemaker, and microwave, good beds and linens, pretty clean overall, covered porch with chairs and table...

Safety concern - the TV, Microwave, fridge and coffee maker were all plugged into the same duplex outlet. The room was woefully underpowered. Although the manager said the WiFi signal strength was good, the system kept dropping me; was unable to do more than check e-mail. There were cleanliness issues; the floor had not been vacuumed from previous use; we... More

We were down in the Escalante area for a nearby wedding. We decided to stay here because of the good reviews. This was a very good place, but we had a few issues. First, they were doing some construction in our room, so there was no mirror in the bathroom. But we had one in the bedroom, so it was... More

I always find it a bit nerve wracking, trying to book ahead in a small town in the middle of nowhere. You have no idea what you're going to get. But the tourist season was rapidly approaching, there weren't a lot of choices in the area and the reviews were good, so I decided to take a chance. I'm glad... More

We stayed in the Cozy Cottage and had a great time. Very quirky and novel decoration done in old pioneer style. It has 2 bedrooms (one with a bunk bed) a lounge and a kitchen. Great for a family or small group. Although it's about 500 yards away from the main motel, the town is only about 1,000 yards long... More

The Circle D had clean rooms with a friendly staff. I especially liked having a microwave and fridge which these rooms have. The a/c in our room wasn't working when we arrived due to rennovations going on but they got it cranked up within a half hour. The current owner appears to be making a major effort toward rennovating all... More

Escalante is a very small town – there are not a lot of accommodation choices. Presumably, it’s hikers who need a place to stay. So, if you are a hiker who finds themselves needing to stay in Escalante, this motel will do. The two double beds were comfortable enough – however, I found that parts of the room could have... More

Not a chain, this family-run motel is excellent value for money with a wealth of information about local conditions, things to do in the surroundings, and the route back to Salt Lake City. Books and reading materials aplenty in the room, fridge, microwave and coffee maker, so much so I did not avail myself of the onsite restaurant which served... More
