Sage Motel

Good
Traveller Type: group
  : The breakfast was simple: cereal, yogurt, toast, waffles, coffee and tea, bananas.

Very Poor
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The bed was comfy (but the sheets were dirty) and the shower pressure itself was good. However, absolutely not worth staying here if you can avoid it in any way.
  : It was disgusting and very clearly had not been cleaned prior to us arriving. We got in for a late check out to find that our key didn’t work, despite having called ahead and arranged for the late check-in. At least the woman on site was quick to rectify that situation, was apologetic, and was polite. We got into the room to find that the bathroom had clearly not been touched, nor had the mini fridge. There were leftovers in the fridge from the last guests, beer cans and trash in the bathroom trash can, hair clumps on the wall of the shower and no toilet paper anywhere to be found (luckily we had been camping so we had our own in the car, since at this point it was after 1am). At first I thought it was just the bathroom that had not been cleaned. I didn’t realize, unfortunately, until the day we were leaving that there was also food caked on the bottom of the bedsheets. They clearly had not been washed either. To think we slept in that bed two nights still makes my skin crawl. I brought up a few of these concerns upon check out, and the woman didn’t care in the slightest. In fact, she barely said a word to me throughout the entire process.

Wonderful

  : Great Thai restaurant adjacent to hotel, I think it is part of their business.

Fair
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The price.
  : The dirty floors and the used bar of soap left in the bathtub.

Very Good
Traveller Type: solo traveller
  : It didn’t look like much from the outset but the rooms were modern, clean, and updated, and in central Vernal.
  : The breakfast looked minimal but there was a good cafe across the street, where the locals get together.

Poor
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The mattress was comfortable. The room cleanliness was acceptable. Internet worked well.
  : The whole experience was drab. Check in person was curt. Got to the room and I found one tiny bar of soap for two people to wash hands and shower. Immediately got to the reception to get some soap… and it was already close. Nobody available to address the issue. TV was not working. Lucky for me, I could figure out what the problem was and fixed it. Most people would have gone without the TV. “Breakfast” was a joke. For this motel, guests are just a nuisance they must cope with.

  : Good location in town walking distance to good eats. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Simple self serve breakfast in the AM.
