We arrived an hour earlier than check-in time and they still let us check in without a fee. The motel appeared well kept outside. The room smelled fresh and clean. Before I will bring anything into the room, I thoroughly check the beds, walls, dressers/tables, chairs, and bathroom. I was completely surprised by the level of clean. It exceeded my requirements. The beds were firm, but comfortable. The television sat on top of the dresser and blocked most of the vanity mirror, but that was not a big deal. We were in an upstairs room and in some places in the room, the floor felt uneven like it had sagged a little, but it did not feel unsafe at all. The bathroom was the tiniest I have ever seen in a motel and had no fan. I only mention those things so that others will be aware of them in case those things matter to you. I only really had two complaints about the room. First, the bathroom door would not stay closed. If you managed to get it to close at all, once you stepped on a different part of the floor, it opened. (This is not to say that it swung open, it did not. It just wouldn't stay locked into the doorframe.) It wasn't a big thing as there was a privacy wall between the bathroom and main part of the room. It was a construction issue. Second, the curtains did not block out light. The lighting outside made the room brighter all night than it had been with full sun in the day time. It was a good experience. I would be likely to stay there again.

Good room for a budget motel. Clean and functional. Good value for the area which is over priced.

My wife and I chose Panguitch Inn as a stop between stops, so we just wanted a cheap room for the night. The room was exactly what we expected: Small but adequate. On a side note, I was pleased that they had a nice big ice machine a short distance from the main area of the hotel, as our previous night's hotel's machines were broken. Attached to main entry area is a sizable communal dining area and kitchen. I honestly am not that comfortable preparing food and eating it around strangers, so we were fortunate that we arrived late enough that the last couple was leaving as we arrived. The eating area wasn't as clean or organized as I would like, but it included a good stock of plates and utensils, pans, knives, and other preparation tools. It also had a refrigerator and microwave. Once finished preparing and eating our dinner, we left the used items in the sink, and they magically reappeared on the shelves the next morning, clean as new. Now, I said I don't like eating around strangers, so I was irritated to find the hostess, Bobbi, preparing some dinner for herself when I came to the kitchen. That irritation soon turned to delight, however, as she showed a warm geniality. Bobbi was definitely the best part of our stay. She was helpful and friendly, with none of the fake smiles you expect at a place of business, but a genuine affability. Kudos to her.
