Check in was very easy and the front desk attendant was so friendly and explained all available amenities. The room was very clean and beds were very comfortable. It was also very nice to have a good restaurant in the same parking lot.

Very nice property. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very nice. One recommendation I have is: we were in one of the executive suites and whenever the suite next to us turned on the shower or bathroom fan (not sure which one it was), it was very loud and disturbing in our room. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Normally I will stay at a Marriott property due to their loyalty program. However, when looking at Marriott options, they were about $100 per night more than the Dinosaur Inn, and since the reviews were very good of the Dinosaur Inn, we gave it a try. We were very, very happy with the whole experience. Check-in was fast and within a minute we were going to our room. The room was large, beds comfortable, towels were thick, there was also a sink and mirror in a separate room outside of the bathroom. Tile floors and walls in the bathroom. We ate breakfast there, and it was very good. I cannot say enough good things about the place.

The room was clean, however there was no shampoo in the dispenser nor conditioner. The air conditioner/heater was very noisy when it kicked on. It was hard to sleep through that noise. The complementary breakfast was OK, for the price I paid for the room, I think amenities could’ve been better. I would not stay here again. I do believe I could’ve got a room for half the price and had a better experience.
