Austin's Chuckwagon Lodge

“Comfy motel for good nights sleep”

Great nights sleep. Comfy bed and very quiet. Walked to great breakfast place with free coffee. Large room close to Capital Reef. Plenty of parking next to room. Good Wifi. Outside entrance. Very responsive owner to questions asked. Food truck for dinner burger.

We just finished with our one night stay and absolutely loved this place. The rooms very clean, great shower, comfortable bed, and plenty of outlets and/or plugs. Overall we felt welcomed and very safe staying there. Their ice machine was out of service due to the cold weather but they had some ice in the main office for us. I wish we could have stayed another night because we really enjoyed our stay and found Torrey to be quite the surprise.

“Good Location for Visiting Capital Reef”

When you first view the Chuckwagon Lodge, it looks rustic and old. While not new at all, they do a good job keeping up the rooms. Our room was large with a shower/tub combo and the toilet squeezed in next to it. The sink, outside the shower area, had plenty of counter space. Initially, the TV d… lisää

When you first view the Chuckwagon Lodge, it looks rustic and old. While not new at all, they do a good job keeping up the rooms. Our room was large with a shower/tub combo and the toilet squeezed in next to it. The sink, outside the shower area, had plenty of counter space. Initially, the TV did not function, but Bob in the office told me how to quickly reset the TV. The bed was comfortable. An overhead light would have been nice, but the room had many lamps. The motel offers what is needed for a few day visit to the national park just a couple miles down the road. The next door deli has a nice, but small menu, which can be supplemented by fruit, yogurt, etc at its attached small market. The motel and deli workers have a great attitude, which lends to the positive experience.

“Unfriendly staff & the motel was being roofed during our stay!”

A nice gentleman checked us into the Chuckwagon Lodge about 8:00PM. It is an older motel with an actual key for the door but it is quaint, clean & the room is spacious. The sink is in a separate area than the toilet & tub which is nice. The desk chair needs to be replaced though, it leaned a lot w… lisää

A nice gentleman checked us into the Chuckwagon Lodge about 8:00PM. It is an older motel with an actual key for the door but it is quaint, clean & the room is spacious. The sink is in a separate area than the toilet & tub which is nice. The desk chair needs to be replaced though, it leaned a lot when my husband sat in it & I was afraid it would collapse. The bathtub drain would not stay up that night & we showered while standing in dirty water. Unfortunately the Chuckwagon Lodge was being roofed the next morning starting at 8:00AM. If we had known about the roofing in advance, we would have cancelled & booked somewhere else. I went by the front desk & told a young lady about our bathtub drain not staying up. She was not very friendly & did not seem concerned about the drain but she said she would send someone up to fix it. We came back by to put sandwiches in our fridge at the motel about 1:00PM & they had it roped off where we couldn’t even get in our room because they were throwing down shingles, etc from the roof. We got back to our motel about 3:30. The drain had not been fixed & they were roofing right over our room & it was so loud! I went back to the front desk & asked when the roofers would quit for the day. A different young lady was at the front desk than the one I spoke to that morning about the drain. I am sure she was having a bad day with complaints about the roofing & she snapped at me that the roofers would quit at 5:00PM. She said that the motel had to be roofed on such short notice because the motel’s insurance was about to be cancelled if they did not roof it right away. She said that they were trying to send out last minute emails to inform people that the motel was under construction. I was not very happy that maintenance had not come to fix our tub that didn’t drain plus her nasty attitude so when she told me they would refund our money for the night if we wanted to leave, we packed up & left. I am sure it was stressful for the young lady at the front desk, especially since she had a crying baby on her hip & people were checking out &/or moving to one of their cabins. I was trying to be understanding but she was downright rude or we would have ‘sucked it up’ & stayed. I also don’t see how they let the roof get in such bad shape that their insurance was going to cancel if they didn’t put a new roof on immediately.
