With few alterations, the Sun-n-Sands Motel could be the set for a low-budget indie film, the kind that relies on clipped dialogue and quirkiness (think Harry Dean Stanton). When our regular motel-of-choice in Kanab was unavailable, my friend Ulrich and I went searching for old neon (character, as he says)—and the Sun-n-Sands does offer that. We’d barely pulled into the... More

I always look to find a good value for my money, but I'm afraid this place doesn't cut it. Yes, the manager is nice, but when the first thing you see is him in a filthy, oversized t-shirt down to his knees, seemingly without pants, it should give you a clue. If that isn't enough go into the office which... More

This was one of my most entertaining stay here in the states! Wayne is one of the most friendliest guys I can imagine! Breakfast is perfect and rooms are clean! Next time I will visit Utah I will stay again at this place!

My wife and I returned to Kanab to spend some time hiking in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. As with our previous trips, we used the Sun-n-Sands as our base. The motel still old and dated but the parking lot had been recently (partially) paved. The rooms are clean and the customer service from managers Wayne and Terri is second... More

We stopped at the sun and sand by chance and if was the most memorable motel we've stayed. We travelled all around us and this was definitely our best stop. Wayne may looks a bit weird at the beginning but he's great and nice!! To try

After reading all the reviews my husband and I had to try this motel. It is old and outdated, but clean, comfortable, and quiet. We were in room 21 and the king size bed was very comfortable. The TV worked better and had more channels than some of the more expensive hotels that we stayed at. The air conditioner was... More

First off, some perspective, so you'll better understand where I'm coming from. I'm an American that has lived in Germany for a long time now. I spend at least one weekend every month in London (I'm addicted to live theatre!) I usually travel to at least five new countries every year, and I take traveling VERY seriously! I have stayed...

After finishing all the reviews on motels and restaurants on Tripadvisor that we visited on our 2 week vacation, I had to save this one for last. This is so because I find it difficult to rate because I have such mixed emotions. First of all, I want to try and write an honest opinion that will help others make... More

He was nice...but the rooms, VERY old and the bed frame was broken, it totally sunk in. Hair on the "clean" sheets, stains here and there, but no bed bugs! YAY! It was an adventure and we had fun while there, but I probably, well, I wont stay there again. I'm a little more particular about the comfort of my... More

I booked two rooms at this motel simply because of the rate as all other local hotels were much more expensive. We arrived before dusk and were met by Wayne. Since we had an additional person, he gave us a single room (as requested) and what he called the "suite". Based on all appearances, we weren't expecting much; however, the... More
