We had a fantastic stay at The Padre! The room was well kept and the staff was supper friendly and helpful - Will definitely be back to stay there again!
Highly recommend this property! Check in was easy. 2 bedroom suite wiwith sofa was fabulous for 3 of us traveling. Beds are great. Room is very clean. Loved staying here!
The Padre is a nice, basic motel. The Padre’s proprietor, Charles, was very friendly and helpful. He responded to our needs quickly.
This hotel is an older building but well maintained and clean.
Escalante is a tiny town. You can walk to the few restaurants along Main Street.
The Escalante National Monument is just 10 minutes down the million dollar highway, and that is amazing to experience.
Perfect stay for a night while heading from Bryce to Capitol Reef. Staff member at front desk was extremely nice and helpful and the room was cute and clean! Would definitely stay again if ever in the area again.
The place looked a little worn out from the outside, but the room was extremely comfortable with plenty of new amenities. It was a perfect place to stay between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon.
The place met my expectations and offered all described services. The host was welcoming and friendly. I would be happy stay at the Padre motel again during my next visit to this area.
For a budget motel this had everything one could need. Lots of toiletries, plenty of charging outlets, great wifi, and a very friendly proprietor (and his cat!)
This isn't a new lodging, but it is excellently maintained. Bed was super comfortable. Great AC. The gentleman who manages the lodging was very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again and highly recommend to others looking for an affordable, clean, comfortable place to stay.

This is a classic roadside motel that's been cleaned up and updated inside. Very basic but very adequate. Clean and good to stay at.
The rooms are very intelligently set up. Great electrical plugs, excellent coffee, wonderful bed, good air flow to make use of cool mountain air. Owner/host is super friendly and mellow. An outstanding experience that is a perfect antidote to corporate hotel experience
