Why Crews Choose Best Western Vernal Inn

A crew booking is a different transaction from a leisure one. It is priced by the week rather than the night, it is usually paid by someone who is not sleeping in the room, and it has to survive a rotation schedule. Best Western Vernal Inn is set up for that — kitchenette rooms, breakfast included, nightly rates from $108 (+ tax) with the weekly crew rate quoted on the phone, 0.6 miles from Vernal Regional Airport for rotations, and parking sized for work trucks, trailers and fleet vehicles.

• Weekly Rates — Call for Price — nightly from $108 (+ tax)
• Monthly rates available — call (435) 789-6625
• 0.6 miles from Vernal Regional Airport (VEL)
• Full kitchenettes — cook rather than expense every meal
• Free hot breakfast every morning
• Free parking for work trucks, trailers, and fleet vehicles
• On-site laundry — no trips across town
• 24-hour front desk — shift-friendly check-in/check-out
• Pet friendly — for workers who travel with dogs

How a Crew Booking Actually Works

What a coordinator needs to know, in the order it usually comes up:

• Rooms are priced per room, not per head. A Studio Two Queen sleeps up to four at one rate. Two crew members sharing one Studio Two Queen rather than taking two Studio Kings is the largest single lever on a crew lodging bill, and it is a decision made at booking, not at check-in.
• Blocks are arranged by phone. Call (435) 789-6625 for three rooms or more; adjacent rooms can be blocked so a crew stays together rather than being scattered across the property.
• Company-paid stays go through a corporate account. Request one here and it is set up before the crew arrives, so nobody is handing over a personal card at the desk.
• Arrivals do not have to be during business hours. The desk is staffed continuously. Standard check-in is 15:00 and check-out 11:00; a crew landing at 02:00 after a delay is a normal night here.
• Names on a block can change. Rotations shift. Confirm the crew list against the block before arrival rather than assuming the original names still apply.

Per Diem and Government Travel

If the stay is on federal per diem, the number that governs it is the GSA lodging rate for Uintah County, Utah — and it is set annually by GSA, not by the hotel. We deliberately do not restate it here, because a per diem figure printed on a hotel page is wrong the moment the fiscal year turns. Check the current rate at gsa.gov per diem rates, then call (435) 789-6625 with it.

Tax exemption and agency direct billing are handled case by case rather than by a published policy. Ask at the point of booking, not at check-out.
