Through a well known and respected Dutch agency we made 14 reservations in several hotels and inn's in LA, Fresco, Las Vegas and the National Parks in CA, Utah, Nevada, Arizona. 13 times we got a three star or more rated room. In Austins's Lodge we got room no. 4, one of the 5 rooms above or around the store... More

Don't be deceived - you don't stay in a chuckwagon, just a normal motel room. But a very nice one. Think it was fairly recently refurbished and was spotlessly clean. We found the bed to be very comfortable. You can get food in the store but we walked along the road to the Capitol Reef Inn which was quite quirky... More

I have never had a chance to stay in the motel, I have used the store a number of times. The family who owns the place are great friendly people. It is nice to have a little store so near Capitol Reef for those who are traveling. More

The folks were really nice and the property is very well kept. Most reviews of the hotels and cabins on TA are good, but these rooms over the General Store are best avoided even though they are cheap. Noisy hall and uncomfortable beds. Very small and old. Clean though. More

We actually didn't stay here, but I did want to post a review for the general store. We arrived at the little cabin we'd rented in Teasdale and found it had a barbecue, so we drove into Torrey with few expectations of finding a grocery store open at 6 pm on a Sunday night. Not only did Austin's have exactly... More

After all the great reviews on TA, despite my apprehension, we decided to stay at Austin's after visiting Capital Reef. I won't do that again. Either I'll try for another motel or try to make it to Boulder. The lobby was a bit smoke filled from the back but they were friendly enough. We opted for on of the two... More

We loved our room clean and modern they have chairs and small table outside so you get a view of the pool, part of town and mountains in the distance. We were on the second floor. The staff was very friendly and she gave us great dinner recommendations. We didn't get to peek at the General Store we were off... More

This was a great surpise as my expectations were low. The cabin was clean and perfect for family of four. The boys each had their own bed. The general store is cute andconvenient welcome after a long drive. More

I had to stay at this hotel just because it was called Austins Chuckwagon! We travelled from Mexican Hat to Torrey in 1 day and when we arrived we were greeted with a smile and a great room on the ground floor. The boys had a swim in the pool and we relaxed and enjoyed the surroundings. A beautiful hotel... More
