Howard Johnson Capitol Reef - Torrey

It was just great. We had a heavy snow storm in the night and the roads were very slippery. They let us stay longer so we could drive safe. They didn't want us to take any risk.

We ended up staying at another motel owned by the same people because of illness and lack of seasonal business. However our stay was very pleasant and we were treated exceptionally well. We had to call the first day we were scheduled to arrive; because of bad weather we were unable to travel. They said no problem and just added a night to the other […] end of the stay, straight across with no charge. I was very surprised! This was a great place to stay. It was nice and quiet. It was fun to have the towels folded as a swan on the bed when we arrived. Read more

We drove from Monument Valley to this HJ in Torrey Utah, a 4-5 hour drive late at night. We called to advice of our late arrival and was told by Rose that all was ok. When we arrived there was no one at the desk but a phone asked to call and someone would be there. Rose came out and had everything ready. The rooms were on the 2nd floor, but were very […] spacious and nicely appointed.. Breakfast the next morning was adequate, but there was no sign of any staff in the restaurant or at the front desk at any time.. When we went to check out we had to call on the phone provided like we had done on arrival. Beautiful area with both Capitol Reef Park and Bryce within easy reach. Read more

Unfortuantely we were not there for many hours, as we arrived late, and were up early. The room and overall hotel was very clean. We found the front desk staff to be very friendly and helpful. The only problem I had was there as no elevator, and we are older, and needed to carry suitcases up stairs. I should have check this out before, and requested […] a ground floor room in advance. Since we arrived very late, they could not accomodiate us to a ground floor room; again that is my fault. The breakfast bar was very tasteful. We would stay there again. Read more

Breakfast is good, self made pancake are great before long hikes in capitol reef. Room was clean and comfortable. The toilet was leeking and making bubble souds all night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent on all accounts...EXCEPT, the room fridge was extremely noisy to the point that we had to put one of the bedspreads over it to muffle the sound.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good except the shower water pressure is not adjustable. Hard to beat a motel that looks out on Capitol Reef.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent room (clean, quiet, has outlets to charge items) and location. The town has some restaurants and gas stations. This is not for everyone. Torrey is a small town, little shopping, and some places close for the season. Just the type of place I love. Will stay at same location in future.

The hotel is very good and cleanly, and the employee of hotel is very nice and helpful. And Mexican restaurant close to hotel is very good too. The food is very good and not expensive. The hotel is very close to capitol reef national park.

Very Comfortable good experience

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Comfortable beds, clean. Helpful friendly staff. Disappointed that no pool, but they had an arragement with a nearby facility, that allowed us to use there indoor pool and hot tub. STUPENDOUS view out of our room. Close to the begining of Escalante Staircase, and the Waterfold Pocket. Old Mormon settellment nearby, and indian Petroglyphs. There are […] a couple of resturants. just remember this is very rural, and things close early. Read more

I really thought I was in heaven. The location of the hotel and the view were beyond my expectations. I have to say this was the first hotel my dog was happy to stay at. Plenty of running and play for him (he's a border collie and needs the exercise).

We stayed for two nights, they did not provide room cleaning service for second day (when we came back after seeing apitol reef on second day- room was same as we left in morning).

We were beside ourselves when we drove into the parking lot --- What a great view of Capitol Reef!! Very clean, comfortable, and reasonable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a nice hotel in a quiet area. The hotel staff was nice, the bed was comfortable, and it was in a scenic area. The breakfast was good, too.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A kid welcomed us and then probably his mother was quite rude to normal questions of us. One room was with no view, probably a spare room. Breakfast was not too good. Hotel needs freshup.

Excellent room and VERY comfortable beds. Didn't include a continental breakfast which we would have liked, but other than that absolutely no complaints.

It was fine. We particularly appreciated the comfort of the beds.

Older hotel with no pool and dated decor unbecoming of the Howard Johnson Hotel chain. Water never cleared up and only one operational washer and dryer. I would not select this hotel again.

Great location! We could see Capitol Reef from our hotel room. Staff is very nice and friendly. Great complementary breakfast. Definitely worth the price.

It was more than adequate in all regards! Front desk was very friendly. I would stay again. They need a pool and jacuzzi!

Excellent service, very accommodating with schedules and children, very good continental breakfast, next to the entry to the Capito Reef National Park. It was a plus that we could use the indoor swimming pool and internet service in the sister hotel, Days Inn!

Incredily beautiful surroundings...quiet and peaceful..superb customer service!!!! Much better than most of the Best Western places we have stayed!

While advertised as accepting pets, the booking agency failed to mention the $15 surcharge. This altered the economic decision to book this lodging.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There wasn't much choice, but wish there was. A few things didn't work in the room & there was no internet access for guests in the lobby. The breakfast was fine, but the breakfast room could not hold the soldout hotel crowd. Since there's no other hotel nearby, it seems there's no incentive to improve. The room numbers were the same color as the wall […] so we couldn't find our room in the dusk - get some black marker now! The heating system was so loud & the message light kept blinking all night because it was not working properly. Read more

a very nice place to stay if you want to explore the nearby national park Capitol Reef. Its only about a 10 mile drive to the park. There are also shops and a gas station nearby, so you can 'refuel' for your hiking or visiting trips to the national park easily. The hotel offers free WiFi services, but you might only receive them in the rooms nearby […] the lobby. There is plenty of room and sitting opportunities though in the lobby if you want to check your emails though. Read more

This hotel was convenient access to Capital Reef. Our room faced the mountains so we had beautiful views as well as sunsets. The only downfalls were WiFi only available in the lobby and the second morning we were there we went for breakfast at 8:15 and there wasn't anythying left they were serving until 9.

Close to Capitol Reef in a very nice location. Very clean and good condition, maybe they just did some works, it seems new.

The hotel is located a few miles from Capitol Reef and very close to the town of Torrey. The rooms were nice and very inexpensive.

We stayed one night at this motel and received superior service. I had forgotten part of my medication and the staff went out of their way to ensure that it was there when I arrived. Then my son left his wallet in the room. The staff tracked it down and mailed it to us. I would definiely stat here again and recommend it to friends.

The hotel is very nice, and in a beautiful location. Capital Reef National Park is a must - missed by many, unfortunately. The hotel manager was the nicest and most helpful manager I have ever had contact with while staying at any hotel, and at 67 I have travelled alot, both business and pleasure. The evenings were cool (in July). and the sights magnifcent. […] We wll be back . . . . . . . . . . . . Read more

We stayed here on our way to Moab because we were a day behind on our travels. It was in the middle of nowhere and there weren't any places to eat other than a mexican restaurant in a convenient store that had no chairs, plenty of tables but no chairs. So we wound up eating a couple miles down the road at another hotels restaurant where the prices were […] really high and the food was ok. The hotel was not overly clean, their laundry was broke and they decided not to fix it and there was no wi-fi or cell service in the rooms. There was supposed to be wi-fi in the lobby but who wants to sit on a ten year old couch to use the internet. It appeared that they were running it on a shoe string budget and trying to do everything themselves. Read more

The manager and other staff we encountered were pleasant and cooperative. On the upper floor at the back of the motel, our room had a beautiful view of redstone bluffs. It was clean and well maintained, without the scuffed, used look of rooms in so many other motels. (The manager said that he has the rooms renovated annually during the low season.) The […] queen beds were comfortable. Soundproofing, between rooms and from outside (given the double-glazed windows) seemed adequate; the movement of other guests did not disturb us (provided people did not conduct conversations on the balcony outside the room). The seal around the doorframe needed adjustment to close a minor gap. The bar fridge was useful for keeping beverages; above it was a microwave oven. We enjoyed having coffee-making facilities in the room. The room lighting was adequate, but a bit dull. (This could be rectified by using translucent instead of opaque lampshades and higher wattage tubes in the fluorescent light on the ceiling.) The air conditioning and water system worked well. The free WiFi worked flawlessly within our room (209), though we did see some people using their computers in the lobby (perhaps a stronger router might be in order). A buffet breakfast was available from 7 a.m. till 9 a.m. (As late risers, we would have appreciated breakfast available till 10 a.m. — at least till 9:30 a.m. Fortunately, during our visit staff did not whisk and lock everything away exactly at 9 a.m. which gave us a little flexibility.) The choice included a standard range of items for this class of motel: dry cereals and packets of oatmeal; orange, apple, cranberry and mixed fruit drinks; milk, tea, coffee and chocolate; flavored cream, sugar and saccharin; waffles and syrup; muffins, bagels, bread-toast and hard-boiled eggs; cream cheese, jams, peanut butter, margarine; apples, bananas and packets of dry cranberries. For convenience, on our first night we dined at the Mexican restaurant "La Cueva" next to the Read more
