For a motel in Hatch on our way to Bryce, I would not stay anywhere else. You cannot beat the value. As others have said, you get 2 queen beds and 2 breakfasts (meal + drink) at the diner for $100 total. The beds are comfortable... carpet, sheets, towels, AC unit, and bathroom are clean - you honestly cannot beat it. Breakfast at the diner was delicious - you have a choice from any meal on the menu - pancakes, steak/eggs, eggs/biscuits, etc. - we figured our breakfast would've cost $25-$30 (plus tip), but was included. The Harley Davidson/workshop theme was awesome and the signs around the room were super fun and unique. TV channel choices are minimal but good enough for background noise as you go to sleep.
Hatch is a VERY small town... take an extended yawn at the wrong moment and you'll miss it. There are other, more organized-looking motels in the town, but also more expensive. As a result, this is a VERY laid back motel. You check in at the diner to pay your $100 and they have a handwritten list of who's checking in to what room. The key is in the door. Mike met us in the room for a brief overview. He was extremely friendly and pleasant but not overbearing. His number and the wifi information was painted on the wall. The wifi worked great for the night we were there. Mike made sure to let us know that he lived out front and to knock if we need anything - more coffee, towels, etc. (The room was excellently stocked, no need for any of that.)
We were able to park directly in front of our room, which was nice.
The two minor downsides were that you could hear road noise during the night (not overbearing, but you know it's there) and the bathroom is fairly small - so if you *have* to close the door, it requires a little gymnastics, but with the way the room is set up, it was no problem to leave the bathroom door open for the night we were there.
It's no Hilton or Marriott, but for the price and location to Bryce and Zion, you honestly cannot beat the experience for the price.
