We Highly Recommend This Establishment

I was happily surprised at how clean and in good condition our room was. We were on an 11 day trip and this room was the nicest and cleanest of all the rooms we stayed in on our trip. This establishment was recommended to us by a friend who had previously stayed there and now we will confidently recommend it to others..

We stayed at Wispering Sands during our motorcycle tour from Las Vegas through Utah and Colorado to Denver. The hotel is orqctically the only hotel option in Hanksville. It is clean, well located next to a full service gas station with a store and a burger restaurant, has amole parking and beautiful views. The rooms are recently renovated, very clean with comfy beds. Highly recommended.
