Dixie Palm Motel - St. George, Utah - a photo on Flickriver

            For years I've been staying in St. George, Utah when work brings me here.  And many times I have thought, "I should stay at the Dixie Palm Motel".  I've always thought it looked well maintained and figured it must be a pretty decent place.  Why I never tried before last night is beyond me.  I stay at old motels all across the country when we're out on road trips, yet here is a little gem right in my own backyard I've never even tried.

I looked up the phone number on line to see if they had any open rooms.  I was able to check for availability online but it said they had no singles, so I decided to call anyway.   I called and they said "We just have 2 rooms left, one suite and one double" I told her I really just needed a single but asked how much for the double. She said "well, since you just need a single, I'll charge you the single rate of $30.00". I told her great, I'll be right over. On the way over I was thinking, $30.00???, I can't even stay at Motel 6 for $30.00...the place must be a real dive... oh well, it's just one night.

So I check in (very friendly manager BTW), the office is nice and very clean, and no odd motel smells, that must be a good sign. She checks me in and gives me a bunch of discount coupons for food in the area (nice, never got those at any other motel in town). Then it's off to the room. All I can say is WOW! I've stayed tons of older motels across the country and this was is rather impressive. Probably one of the nicest. Super clean, super nice and very quiet.  It was probably one of the nicest motel stays I've ever had.  Included free Wi-Fi and free in room coffee which I enjoyed out front of my room this morning in the chairs they have provided.

If you're in the area, by all means give them a try.  You won't be disappointed.
