With Hanksville as our destination, lodging was a bit limited. The Whispering Pines was one of the few motels in the area. Other lodging contained more expenses cabins at campgrounds and other sites. It was surprising that the room rate was around $160 for a motel, but that was the cheapest option in the area. The Whispering Pines is conveniently located on scenic highway 95. In fact, the drive into Hanksville from the east is one of the most beautiful drives, we have ever experienced. It had plenty of off-street free parking with turn around space for larger vehicles. It is a retro motel, so you can park right at your door. It is comprised of two buildings -- one of which is two stories without elevators so consider that when booking your room. We had booked online and the check in was efficient and fast. The room was spacious with a large king bed, plank floors, and a separate vanity from the toilet and tub/shower. There was a lounge chair and a separate desk with chair. It was a clean room and generally clean grounds. It is near a gas station with conveniences including a burger restaurant. Across the street is a more upscale restaurant near the Roadsideamerica.com attraction the Hollow Mountain Gas Station -- an operating Sinclair gas station with its store in a mountain cave. Hanksville is a great central location to take in many of the sites in the area. It is very close to the amazing Goblin Valley State Park. The room had a mini fridge with no freezer section and a microwave. There was a hairdryer but no iron and board. There is a free reliable ice machine. Internet was free and reliable. There was not breakfast but a breakfast food truck was open nearly by. There is also a coin operated laundry. The motel was relatively quiet throughout the evening despite being very crowded.
