Greta place for the night. Was a bit noisy with other guests hanging around outside but the heating unit drowned them out. Easy check in/out. Good restaurant recommended by front desk staff (Duke's). We couldn't get the TV to work and the office was closed by the time we realized.

We stayed here after visiting Capitol Reef National Park, and before heading to Moab to visit Canyonland and Arches. The town and motel were very convenient for this one night stayover. It's about a 40 minute drive out of Capitol Reef, in the direction of Moab. The room was newly renovated, so everything was new. The town is small with nothing around it. It has everything you would need for a short stay: a few restaurants to choose from, a gas station and convenient store. The staff was very friendly. For this type of stay, I would recommend this hotel.

Whispering Sands Motel was a pleasant surprise. Clean rooms, comfortable bed, and nice pillows. Had a ice machine which allowed us to add more ice to our coolers. Best place to eat was Dukes Slick Rock Grill

I loved my stay with them, but staff was not really nice. We forgot something in the room. We called and emailed them more than 10 times. They didnt even answer back. We just wanted to know that you found our stuff that we left. They just ignored.

Way better than I thought it would be for a place almost in the middle of nowhere. Staff helpful and informative. Happy to talk. About the only problem experienced was I could not access my emails because my security software was not happy. I could still do google. I wasn't going to try my nank
