Hotel Overview

In Utah's dinosaur country near the regional airport, the Best Western Naples/Vernal Inn sits minutes from town in Naples, Utah, a gateway to the prehistoric wonders and red-rock canyons of the Uintah Basin.

The fossils are the main event. Dinosaur National Monument lies a short drive away, its quarry wall packed with bones from the Jurassic, and the Utah Field House of Natural History Museum fills in the story over in Vernal, where dinosaur statues turn up on nearly every corner. Beyond the bones, Red Fleet State Park, Moonshine Arch, and the otherworldly hoodoos of Fantasy Canyon reward hikers, bikers, and rafters across striking high-desert terrain.

Spacious rooms include a kitchenette, flat-screen television, and plush bedding, and a complimentary hot breakfast opens the day. An indoor pool and spa and a well-equipped fitness center wait at the end of an afternoon outdoors. Few towns put the Jurassic this close, and Vernal/Naples sets dinosaur country at the doorstep.
