Great place to stay in Hanksville

This motel was great. I was told my room was recently remodeled, so my room might have been nicer than others. Lots of towels that were refreshed daily. As was the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The body lotion at the sink was very helpful too. Being in the desert, my skin was dry the entire trip. Employees and cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful as well.
