Horizons was very busy! But we were able to get a room, check out what was available for breakfast. The hotel was very tidy and didn't have any bad smells! It was one of the best hotels we stayed in!! Everything went smoothly and we each got a Klondike bar. Vernal Utah just went up in points!!
The service was lovely, the kind Girl in the front desk was so sweet to my and my little children, the kids loved the flowers on the towels. The bed and room were very clean and comfortable!!! Would stay again
Very nice rooms. Lots of space ! Rooms were clean smelled nice. Wish there was more options for breakfast but waffles were ok! Would also love a warmer pool and a hotter hot tub … From my experience I don’t believe any of the bad reviews ! It’s a very nice/clean hotel
London is a very helpful & accommodating staff member & certainly represents the business very well! Hotel is very nice & affordable Will definitely stay here again when I m back in town
The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The Housekeeper always running around working her butt off is the best I have ever experienced. Will definitely be coming back!
Great service. My kids loved the pool. Wheelchair accessible first floor only as there are no elevators. Wheelchair fit in the in the room, but bathroom was not wheelchair accessible. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. We felt safe at this location. Issues included a sink that did not drain and a tub that drained slowly - I am not a fan of standing in water while showering. Also, rugs in common areas created tripping hazards and ceiling in breakfast area above sofa was dripping water.
Listen, this place isn't perfect, but the family that's running it is trying so hard. Lots of little touches that show the effort, but there's some work to be done. Mattress was super uncomfortable, but the room was clean. The bathroom was equipped with lots of accommodation for those who may need it, including several additional hand bars as well as a toilet fixture with handles. We didn't need these, but as a nurse, I can appreciate it. The pool was nice and clean and my kid had fun swimming there. Free breakfast was standard. Overall a good experience.
This motel was full of wonderfully cute little surprises! Loved the candy kiss and fall leaves tucked in towels left by the housekeeper; also the free ice cream given at check-in and the breakfast. The front desk staff was friendly, helpful, and seemed to truly care about us weary travelers. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had all the conveniences needed! The hot tub heater was out (in which they let us know a new heater was ordered), but the pool was clean and warm!!! At first arrival the facade of the motel doesn't present itself as 5 stars (just a little run down in appearance), but everything that exists when you walk through the doors was 5 stars easily...especially for the price.
