Fodor's Expert Review Whispering Sands Motel

One of the only lodging options offering eastern access to Capitol Reef, this simple but clean and comfy two-story motel makes a good base if you're on your way to or from Moab or planning to visit nearby Goblin Valley State Park. Country quilts and photos of local scenery add color to the simple but well-outfitted rooms, which have small refrigerators, microwaves, and hairdryers. The roomy suites have whirlpool tubs.
