4 Best Hotels in Dinosaurland and Eastern Utah, Utah

Background Illustration for Hotels

Most hotels and motels in eastern Utah are chains, and you can expect clean, comfortable rooms and standard amenities. The area's lodges make for a nice change of pace, surrounding you with natural beauty and more individualized rooms and services. Though it goes against logic, many hotels here offer cheaper rates on weekends than weekdays, due to the high number of workers who stay during the week. On weekends, hotels and motels do their best to attract tourists.

Frontier Grill & Motel

$ | 75 S. 200 E, UT, 84066, USA
