The location was great for visiting the Grand Staircase. The owner is nice. The place is a bit dated however.
Verified review

The Padre Motel is excellent value. The rooms are on the small side but perfect for a night or 2. I didn’t give 5 stars because I consider a Hyatt a 5 star stay. With that said it was clean and comfortable. Perfect location for wha we were looking for.

This is an older motel but the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the owner was VERY helpful. He went above and beyond and gave us frozen ice packs to use.

Actually a motel that deserves five stars. The guy operating the property was great to interact with at check-in and his cat Chonk is awesome.

After 14 years in the coffee industry, I can say the attention to detail on the coffee quality at the Padre was impressive - better than any motel or hotel I've ever stayed. Comfortable beds are also important, and we found the bed was very comfortable.

The room was clean with nice linens and pillows. The microwave and fridge worked perfectly. The toiletries were nice since so many places don't supply those any more. The location is central to many activities in the area. The proprietor was friendly and extremely helpful.

This is a very old-school type of motel. It was very clean and had a great tv. I really appreciated that this property has been well maintained.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is a little gem in a great location - don’t let the old-fashioned appearance deceive you. Just sorry we were only there for one night, because it would be a great home base for exploring the area. We had two small bedrooms and a sitting area for our family of 3, which felt luxurious. Beds were comfortable and the property was spotless. The Keurig coffee maker with real half and half was a real bonus. Best place we’ve stayed on this trip!

Check-in was great. I messed up the reservation but the owner fixed it without any problems. We are very grateful to him.

A nice place to stay. Great host, who went out of his way to be helpful. A large comfortable room. Right in the centre of Escalante, which is a relatively quiet, easy to like town. Close to the grocers and places to eat. Very good coffee in the room and well appointed bathroom. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows.

It’s a modest roadside motel in a wonderful location for hiking and experiencing the amazing Grand Staircase. Nespresso machine in the room with unlimited coffee pods and small fridge were useful and appreciated. Owner/manager, Charles, is very kind and helpful. Great TV and near several good eateries. Super clean. Decent shower. Very good value. I plan on staying there again someday.
