Like many of the towns which are gateways to national parks, Vernal is a town of motels. Some are national chains, others are 'mom and pop' establishments. Most are located along Main Street. The Best Western Dinosaur appeared to be among the largest and the nicest.
Since we arrived so late in the season, both the pool and the Coffee Shop were closed. The front desk was staffed by helpful young women who seemed to be on duty all the time. A gift shop adjacent to the front desk offered a wide selection of souvenirs including Indian jewelry, gifts for children, collectables and, of course, T-Shirts.
Our room was pleasant and quiet. The only disappointment was that there was no in room coffee or continental breakfast. The location along main street was great - right next door to the Utah Field House of Natural History. It was no trouble to go a couple of blocks to McDonald's or the grocery store to get our morning meal.
