Clean, quiet, comfy beds. Loved the cedar plank walls and the 1950s bathroom. A very enjoyable stay. Coffee maker in your room as well as a mini fridge and I think there was a microwave too.
They did offer muffins in the motel lobby in the morning. 

Loved our overnight stay here! Will stay again.

All I expect from a low cost motel is a clean bed and bathroom.   The Prospector far exceeded my expectation. 

Check in (I had a reservation) was fast,  The room spacious and the bed VERY Comfortable.  

The room is as pictured, a knotty pine paneled space.  My room had a queen bed and a comfortable couch.

This is a hidden gem, hiding in plain sight

Do not be put off by the broken sign out front on the highway.  My family and I greatly enjoyed our unusually large room, fitted out with beautiful pine walls and ceiling.  We were three adults, heavily packed, who appreciated spreading out in this ample space.

Coffee, orange juice and tea for breakfast as well as a large supply of packaged breakfast bars.

The shower was hot and plentiful in amount and pressure.  Separate sink gave us privacy from the toilet/shower area.

I wish I could recall the number of our room.  It was about halfway back the long "L" before the 90 degree bend of rooms.  

Couldn't hear highway noise perhaps because we ran the AC.   We were quite cool in the heat of Blending.

I wish I had taken photos of the pine ceiling and paneling.  These kinds of motels are fast disappearing.

We will stay here our next drive through Blanding.

An unexpected  treat

So I read the reviews. After driving for what seemed like 10 hrs Landon  Ut. Was the closest thing. Yes it is like going back road tripping in the late 60,deadly 70,s but folks the place is super clean, I mean spotless 

Oh right down the streets a little food trailer pizza joint it’s very very good 

I would stay again  

Very clean 

I thought this place was a bargain and great value for the low price. Very clean, cosy, wood panelling interior walls. Comfortable bed. Roomy. Very friendly and helpful check-in. All the usual amenities like TV, Microwave, A.C. Heater...
Blanding is a great jumping off point for many local sights the Newspaper Rock archaeological site, Bluff, Gooseneck State Park, Valley of the Gods, Edge of the Cedars State Park.

Cosy, economical

We only stayed here for one night, travelling to Monument Valley.
Check in was easy. Room was comfortable and clean with a good hot shower.
Breakfast was picked up from reception and was fine for us - toast, cereals and fruit. We sat at a table outside in the sun. Nice quiet location.
We'd arrived late and the owner recommended the Pizza at the Gas Station opposite. What a welcome surprise - best Pizza either of us had eaten anywhere!
The manager was a really friendly guy, a real people person.
For what we paid we were very pleased!

Comfortable and friendly

Dennis is a delightful young proprietor who continues to improve his property and upgrade the amenities.  The rooms are much larger than most motels.  It's  NOT a motel, it's like going back home and staying at your best friend's house.  Feels like home.

Never disappoints

The room was huge so we never felt cramped in any way. It was clean. It is an older mom and pop style motel that is one level and had space for us to set out our chairs in front and relax after sightseeing for the day. It is not in walking distance to a restaurant. We would stay there again if passing through.

Older clean comfortable room

My wife and I stayed here for one night, booked a day in advance.  This was a very deceiving motel.  If we hadn’t booked, we would have driven right past it – by the look of the outside.  However, the inside of our room was pleasing (looking like a wood-lined cabin).

We had a standard-sized room, but it was clean, comfortable and of good value.  There was good, almost instant, hot water and an efficient fridge.  The air conditioning unit would have been more effective if it had been in the main part of the room, rather than in the lobby to the bathroom.

The breakfast choice was limited (e.g. there was not a waffle maker) but it was okay.

Would we stay there again?  Yes, we would.

An Englishman's take on this motel ...

Upsides: first, everything works. Decent wifi, no dumb web interface, DirecTV, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer. All the usual stuff in good order. Rooms are spacious and entirely paneled, including the beamed ceiling. It's clean and well maintained overall. 

Unlike many contemporary motels, the door will not automatically lock when you leave. This is not a bad thing, but have a caution if you're leaving anything nice in your room.

Rooms are very dark during the day, with only one modest window. This is probably good design in this climate, and who's going to be indoors anyway? Quite comfy in the evening. 

We had an original painting in our room: a curious southwesty work with an interesting character. A welcome relief from corporate elevator art.

Downsides: The original wall heater has been replaced by a very noisy through-the-wall heat pump. Since it's in the bath alcove, it is constantly cycling on and off with no option to leave the fan on all the time.

Our reservation via the website did not get through to the motel operators. They honored the printout anyway, but ultimately you should probably call directly to book a room.

There was no plug for the bathtub. As a saving grace, there is a plug for the sink -- but it's too small. However, if you remove the soap from its plastic bag, that will serve as a perfect gasket for the sink plug in the bath drain.

Found a dead bug in the folded bath mat and a nearly-dead bug in the drain. Shower people would never have seen this one!

Advisory: there is a loud and easily triggered dog in the office apartment. Getting a room further from the office is probably a good idea.
