Don't let the vintage cinder block look turn you off. Our room was small but clean. The mattresses were firm and not lumpy. Bathroom was well supplied with towels. The manager, Craig, is very friendly and full of information.

We rolled into town late with no reservation and a dog.The friendly lady at the desk accomodated us. Beds were comfortable and clean, there was a cute gas burning stove, towels were soft and absorbent. There were the usual amenities. A little funky but manageable.

We took a trip to Bluff and Blanding over the weekend to do some hiking. Took a chance on the Stone Lizard Lodge based on Trip Advisor reviews. We were not disappointed! Newly remodeled, our room was small, but exceptionally clean. Nice features like wood floors, good bedding, two heating/cooling options, refrigerator and microwave. No amenities, but then that's not... More

Our room was small, but we had all the amenities and it was clean. We did have a couple of issues with the cleaning staff, but they were handled promptly and very nicely by the lady in the front office. Craig and Cathy both make you feel very welcome and appreciated. We'll stay here when we return.

Hi Doug and Katie! We am so glad you stayed with us! We apologize that your room didn't get refreshed one of the days you were here; that was pretty embarrassing. We are proud of our staff however, that they not only took care of the problem once they were aware of it, they apologized to you...that means a lot... More

Because of TripAdvisor reviews and comparing the terribly high price of the two chain motels in Blanding (an overpriced, worn out little town I was familiar with), I made reservations at the Stone Lizard over the phone with Cathy the owner... and was told what room number I was to be in (#11). I was looking forward to seeing this... More

Hello Maxine: I am so glad you gave us another chance! And you are right, Mitzie is a jewel and we are lucky to have her. I am not sure what happened with you getting a room that had not been remodeled yet, all I can say is that we are slowly but surely working our way through all the... More

This place is under new management since sept 2011. They are doing too good of a job. It is as quaint as it is affordable. you should come check it out before they catch on and raise their prices. The rooms and decor are stylish and well done. The beds are new and very comfortable with great bedding and too... More

Thanks Chris! Your encouragement is very much appreciated! We are making great inroads in remodeling the rooms. With the great weather we are moving outdoors and landscaping, so hopefully the outside will soon look as good as the inside. Regards, Kathy Simpson More

While Stone Lizard Lodging (Sunset Inn on the sign) doesn't look like much on the outside, the new owners (Craig and Cathy) are working tirelessly to fix the place up. All the rooms are newly painted with nice new oak furniture. Ours came with a microwave, fridge and free wifi. Other rooms have a coffee maker as well. Bathrooms are... More

Margaret! We thoroughly enjoyed having you stay with us. Craig loves sharing his knowledge of the area with others and learning of new areas they have seen that he hasn't yet! And thanks for all the photos you took of the rooms, they have been a tremendous help. Craig and Kathy More

As of December 2011 there is new management. They have started upgrading all of the rooms and currently adding wifi. It is definitely worth the money at this point. They haven't done the bathrooms yet but new paint furniture and flooring.

Bed, shower, toilet were all adequate and served their purposes well. Carpet was old and smelly. Room felt very well used. Overall, for the money, it worked out well for me as just a cheap place to crash for the night while transiting the area. I recommend it as such.

Dont stay here at all costs. This place is terrible. It is run down and not particularly clean. The plumbing is in bad shape and the toilet seat was chipped and worn. The front door to the room looked like a war zone. The beds were comfortable and the heater worked thank goodness.
