4 Best Hotels in Price, Dinosaurland and Eastern Utah

With more amenities than most of the area's hotels but still reasonably priced, the Greenwell is a great choice for most travelers, especially families. The rooms are spacious, with hardwood floors, a mini-refrigerator, and coffeemaker (with microwaves provided on request). The large luxury suites have whirlpool tubs, big-screen TVs, kitchenettes, and remote-control fireplaces. While no meals are provided, each stay comes with a 15% discount to the adjoining restaurant. 

If you want to save a bit of cash, but not scrimp on amenities, this simple but updated motel is one of the best bets in town. Rooms have been remodeled and designed to satisfy most travelers' needs (with a refrigerator, free Wi-Fi, hair dryer, microwave, and coffeemaker), and a continental breakfast provides fuel for your next day of hiking, biking, and dino-hunting.

Ben Mead grew up in beautiful Nine Mile Canyon and started this "bunk and breakfast" establishment years ago on his working cattle ranch, where guests can stay in the comfy house or rent one of the rustic cabins. While Ben's daughter, Carla, now runs the place, Ben still makes appearances for big groups (reunions, weddings, and the like). Play your cards right, and Ben may recite some of his cowboy poetry—he's the real deal. Guided tours of the canyon are also available through this authentic lodging option.

A bright, lovely atrium is the stunning centerpiece of this reliable chain option, featuring comfy rooms with a long list of standard amenities (mini-refrigerator, microwave, desk, and more). Families will enjoy the indoor pool, and suites with kitchenettes are a great option for longer stays. Ask if one of the suites with a skylight is available. This is also a favorite stop for large groups and conventions, so make sure to book ahead. Both a steak house and a separate bar are on-site.
