Hotel Moab Downtown

Our room was above the laundry. Constant noise of the washing machines and dryers! It also had metal stairs, leading to the upstairs room, so more noise! The location was good, though, and one of the two receptionists was very helpful and friendly.

This is definitely an older motel that has been refurbished. The location is good, in the middle of downtown, which surprised me, because when I booked it, I thought it would be in the far away wilderness. The service was a little disappointing as we specifically chose this motel for the swimming pool and hot tub. When we arrived, we were told they were both "closed for the season," which maybe they could make that "season info" more readily available. No biggie, though, as I was given a second room key, free of charge, and a little brochure about Moab! Feelin like a rock star! Vending machines are your only choice for beverages as the room doesn't have anything in the mini fridge, except cold air. There was an ice bucket in the room, if you like a adventure type of activity of finding the machine. Fun for kids. The liquor store is across the street, if the vending machine doesn't have enough "hop" for you. Everyone there seemed really nice and happy, and they all laughed at every joke I told! The restaurant in the parking lot " Steak and waffles" is great for breakfast, and it's basically on site. Zax is a good pizza place one block down, and the Mexican food restaurant across the street, is also good and even after two hours, not a hint of intestinal distress. With in a block of here, you can get booze, burritos, babes, and bagels. The shower had a double shower head, which was difficult to manage, after the booze and bagels, but after some finagleing, it rains down water like the amazon rain forest. The towels are kept on a rack, inside the shower, which I didn't know until after I got the double headed shower under control, sufficiently soaking said towels. No problem though, simply move the towels outside the shower before you fire up the double headed water octupus, and this can be easily solved. The HVAC Is a typical unit that sits below the window and has a great set of buttons that are blue and red to help you navigate the complex world of climate control. Once it is running, it puts off an amazing white noise like an idling deisel engine, to lull you to sleep. We did have a TV, which was probably ly 24 inches or so. With the channels availible there is a good chance you too can watch 30 yr old movies, all inclusive! In summary, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but lets be honest, it's not priced that way either. Awsome location, and priced at a fair value for what you get... And when the pool is in season, it could only be better!
