When we drove up to the Blue Motor Inn, my heart sank. It is on the road, and the doors to the rooms didn't look very inviting. But what a little gem it turned out to be! The room is of a good size, recently refurbished with wooden floors, lovely bathroom with fluffy white towels and lots of attention to detail like nicely folded towels and well selected soaps. Fridge and microwave both new. Breakfast was not included, but the onsite cafe serves lots of varieties of coffees and teas, and wonderful muffins and cakes. The staff were very helpful, nice and cheerful and made us feel very welcome. We would stay there again without hesitation.

The aircon unit was a little noisy. Opening the bathroom window for fresh air solved the problem :-)

Friendly Reception in Cute Lobby. Near food & gas. Easy to find & parked right in front of our ground floor room. Super clean, nice room amenities, large rain & hand held shower heads, comfortable bed, fridge & microwave ~ GREAT for a relaxing overnight or weekend couples stop. The decor is fun, fresh, spot on theme & so is the lobby/gift shop.

The motor inn is on the road so you will hear some traffic but it's not as bad as we thought it would be. Not much they can do about it, the location, cleanliness & friendly staff make up for it though! Sadly the windows do not open but there is a bench outside the room should you want some fresh air before bed, another fair trade-off.

We picked this inn because of its location on our way to Monument Valley from Moab. Our group found this inn to be quite charming. Check in was quick and easy with the friendly girl behind the counter. Room keys were actual keys and there's a nice big ice machine on site. The rooms were comfortable. We booked both the double queen rooms and single queen rooms. Parking spots are right in front of the rooms. The single queen bedrooms are in the building in the front next to the road. The bedroom was so cute and the bed was comfortable. The double queen bedrooms are in the building in the back. Nice size rooms with microwaves and a small fridge. Private bathrooms and sink. Small table with two chairs.

Road noise wasn't bad but the AC unit was quite loud.

Clean and neat. Very “mod” retro inspired interior theme with “boutique” finishes. Bathroom was tastefully remodeled with nice quality fixtures and features. Towels were fresh and fluffy. Mattress was comfortable and sheets were crisp and fresh. Easily located off of main road with truck parking and plenty of room to drive around so I didn’t have to back up. Staff was friendly and welcoming AND, bonus feature….. they have a real coffee bar! Fresh cappuccino they make for you or any variety of coffee or espresso beverage.

Newly remodeled and bright happy colors. The mid-century modern motor inn was evident in design. Great shower pressure and modern convenience of micro/fridge and an AC/heater that works well in the room. Bed is comfortable. Staff was helpful and friendly. Will stay again.

There was noise from the road, less at night. I sleep with a noise maker and the noise did not bother me at all. If noise sensitive, you might want to book a room in the back.

The staff was great -- very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and great retro deco. The shower was wonderful and the bed very comfortable. We look forward to staying there again if we pass that way. P.S. The cinnamon roll we had for breakfast was delicious. (We bought it in the lobby.)

We did have to wear earplugs to sleep because of the semi trucks passing by due to the fact the motel is right on the highway that goes through town. But we still slept well.

It’s a very cute hotel. The lobby has a little gift store in it, with a coffee shop! It’s right off the main road so it’s easy to get too. It was clean! The night check in lady and the lady I talked to in the morning were both so nice! The only thing is because it’s off the main highway there is traffic. That didn’t affect us because we are heavy sleepers. But may bother some if you’re a light sleeper. Will recommend staying here to anyone!!

I liked the small details that made the room very comfortable. The position is good if you are visiting the different National Parks in the west (especially Canyonlands and Arches). The motel is on the road, and I was worried there might be too much noise, but I didn't notice this issue. For those who are more sensitive, I can recommend earplugs just in case, but I don't think they are necessary. I recommend this place because it was very clean.

Everything was very good.

Don't expect the Ritz-Carlton, but this is a nice quaint little one story retro- style motel with drive up to room door. Our double queen bedroom was unusually spacious with excellent lighting and very clean. No breakfast though. But room had all expected amenities. Staff was quite pleasant. Liked the welcome text message ahead of time with a link to check-in in advance with our room number already assigned. Didn't use it though since I was driving.

Some cosmetic issues that reveal the age of the motel, e.g minor lines in porcelain sink and raised linoleum/tile in corner base of bath tub. TV could be larger for size of room, at least a 40 in. At 108 per night including tax a small continental breakfast would be nice. But would stay there again if passing thru. Was impressed with the cleanliness.

Nice place with generous, clean rooms at a reasonable rate. Since Monticello is tiny, it doesn't really matter a great deal where exactly in town you are, but the Atomic Blue is in as good a location as any. It's also relatively close to Monument Valley.

The heating/AC unit was a bit noisy and kept going on and off (noisily blowing out air and then going silent again at intervals) all night; don't know if we could have changed the settings, but we got used to it and it wasn't a big issue.
