Top Hanksville Hotel Reviews

Whispering Sands Motel

Whispering Sands Motel

8/10 Good
"I recognize that Hanksville is central to every where and close to no where. I am amazed that there are any places to stay in this small town. When I visited I usually say at the Whispering Sands Hotel. From the outside the hotel doesn't look like much. However, the rooms have been remodel and are very good. It has a good set of TV channels and the Internet is really fast. The rooms are clean and well kept. What I like is there is a desk and chair there where I can set up and use my laptop. The area is very quiet and there is an excellent burger place next door. The burger place claims to have world famous shakes, they are good. They have a small pack-n-do breakfast which I appreciate. However, there is no pool or exercise room. When I return to Hanksville, I plan to stay at this hotel."

"Very Clean and luxurious room! Had what we needed and very cozy location! Only thing a bit of a problem was, even though the location is very silent and dark, the resort lights and lights on other’s door were too bright at night for NighSky view. We had to drive a bit away from resort for getting a total dark sky!"
