Cathedral Valley Inn

Cathedral Valley Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and tidy. Great view. Great staff only issue I had is I had a very noisy neighbor."

Whispering Sands Motel

Whispering Sands Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This motel exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. Although it is located slightly outside of the national parks, we felt it was a much more convenient base than Torrey. The motel was super clean and recently renovated which was refreshing to see! The grab and go breakfast had everything you needed to start the day: bagels, cereals, fruit, yogurts (the coffee could have done with being stronger though!). Plenty of space to park and the seats outside the rooms allowed you to watch the world go by at the end of the day. Stans burger shack right around the corner is also worth the visit! The only downside is that we thought this motel was slightly overpriced for our 2 night stay."

"Very Clean and luxurious room! Had what we needed and very cozy location! Only thing a bit of a problem was, even though the location is very silent and dark, the resort lights and lights on otherโ€™s door were too bright at night for NighSky view. We had to drive a bit away from resort for getting a total dark sky!"
