The bed was very comfortable. Parking was right outside. The restaurant is connected to the facility and serves excellent, reasonably priced meals. Best place to stay in the area.

This is a very well remodeled nostalgic 1955 motel. Great internet, modern interiors, with a small but efficient room (at least the one we stayed in was small). Fresh everything, good bed, friendly owner. The attached restaurant was good. Parking was easy. Not comparing this to the Ritz Carlton, obviously, but for its type this is a great little place. If the instructions to the HVAC unit had mentioned you have to wait 3 minutes to change the thermostat it would have been perfect.

Bicknell is a tiny quiet town, where they roll up the sidewalks at about 7 pm. Why would you ever find yourself in Bicknell? It is close to some of the most beautiful areas in Utah, and the Sunglow motel is a good value. It's a typical 50s style roadside motel building, but the owner has completely refurbished the rooms inside. We stayed in a room with two queen beds, and I have to say mine was the most comfortable motel bed I've slept in for a good long time. No carpet as the floor has been done in the popular luminant style material, which is, of course, cleaner than carpet. the bathroom area has also been updated quite nicely. It is still a budget motel so you wouldn't compare it to the new modern places but it was very clean and comfortable. I gave it four stars because is you want to warm up any food you have to walk to the tiny office and use the small microwave in the office. The room does have a small refrigerator, which did keep our food very cold. There is a restaurant, but as I was there to get out and see the beauties of the area I never got to see the inside of because it opens late, in time for lunch and closes early, because the whole town is closed early. If, like us, you're there just to sleep at night and you want to save some money, the Sunglow motel is a good option for it's cleanliness and comfort. Also, the staff that we dealt with were friendly and helpful.

Room was updated, spartan but sharp and nice. Everything was clean. Bed actually had blankets vs the oh-so-popular comforter that is too hot for anything above 55 degrees. Bed was extremely comfortable. Refrigerator was big and cold, with a freezer for your ice packs. No microwave. Just a note to Utah visitors, small towns very rarely have anything open on Sunday. You might be wise to pack some food on Saturday if you are staying over.

Check in was easy. Gentlemen was very nice. Room was large, clean and very comfy. The restaurant had good reviews, but I have to say the food was marginal. The bad part our server was extremely rude. I am 75 and I don’t think I’ve ever had a server that was that rude. We left no tip. And we never do that. So beware. It’s a shame since the hotel was so nice that the restaurant server was that bad.

We stayed at this hotel in Bicknell since we could not find anything closer to the National Park. It was very clean and quiet. They didn't include breakfast but they did have a good restaurant on site for breakfast. The only drawback to this hotel is that the restaurant was not open on Sundays and there was nowhere to eat in the small town, so we had to drive to Torrey to eat, The burger food truck in Torrey was very good.

This is an older property, a real old-fashioned "motor court" probably out of the late '50s. But don't let the exterior appearance put you off. They've done a lot of work to the rooms and everything was clean and tidy. The only issue I had was that the water took a looooonnnnnggg time to get hot, both in the sink and the shower. And due to a lack of personnel for the on-site restaurant (in this very small town, one hastens to add), one has to go 10 miles down the road to have dinner/breakfast options. Other than that, a nice stay.
