Fodor's Expert Review Whispering Sands Motel

90 Hwy. 95, Hanksville, Utah, 84734, USA

The real gems of this roadside motel are the updated cabins with warm, wooden walls and big windows, though traditional motel rooms are offered at a lower price, and all rooms have little conveniences like microwaves and refrigerators. Right in the center of town, the property is aging but has a big following, often booking up months in advance for the busiest times of year. There's a laundry on-site, and right next door is Stan's Burger Shak, which is regionally famous for its burgers, fries, and shakes.

PROS

  • open year-round
  • located next to famed Stan's Burger Shak
  • Hanksville's only motel

CONS

  • many rooms are older and haven't been updated
  • books up months in advance during busy times
  • Hanksville has few amenities
