Travel tips
Given its location just off I-40, this hotel is best suited to travelers with a car, as many area attractions like Mount Nebo State Park and Big Piney Creek require driving. Take advantage of the free breakfast before heading out, and note that several restaurants -- including Colton's Steak House & Grill right next door -- are within walking distance for dinner. Since some guests reported inconsistent room conditions, it's worth requesting to inspect a room at check-in if possible.
