The room was comfortable, but some of the equipment might be old, because the A/C unit and the bath exhaust fan made a lot of noise. The A/C noise made it really hard to fall asleep. The staff was nice and gave us some restaurant recommendations for dinner.

Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Great location. Housekeeping was questionable. Housekeeping didn't come every day. Supplies in the room were non-existent. We had to go the the front desk twice requesting toilet paper and tissues. Plastic cups weren't replaced. Refrigerator was very noisy and made it difficult to sleep. The bathroom fan was extremely loud when turned on (like the bearings were worn out) and had poor aid flow. This was our third year to stay. Unfortunately we will stay somewhere else the next time we come to town. Sorry. ☹️

Room was clean, had a king-size bed with no rooms above mine. Everything explained at check-in, nice fellow. Breakfast area had many tables and the staff handed out some of the food while there were 2 waffle makers. Quiet stay since the pool was not close by. Mattress was comfortable and supportive enough, tv screen was a little small. I would stay there again.

An enjoyable stay in a large comfortable room. Housekeeping was daily and the towels were thick and fluffy. A hot breakfast was served and coffee, water & juice was available all day. All staff encoutered were friendly & helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dinosaur Inn & Suites.

So much fun!

This hotel has the best location for a festival in Downtown Vernal. It is walking distance from all the fun activities in the evening and just generally a great place to stay. It's really comfortable and has free breakfast in the mornings.
