Well designed, extraordinarily well managed, nearly new (opened 9/2016) property might set you back $200 - $300 / night depending on room if paying full rate during 'high season'. We stayed on Hilton points during the season so I'm not sure what was the nightly cost but it would have been worth every penny regardless. During our three days and nights in Moab we ran into visitor after visitor who stayed at other hotel properties and complained about how "had" they felt for lousy accommodations at steep prices. We had only the best things to say about every employee here and the facility as well. Expectations exceeded.
STAFF: From making reservations and suggesting the right room location for us, to check in to every contact throughout, the desk staff was top notch. Same with the staff in the breakfast room. This kind of training and motivation don't happen on their own. Kudos to these nice people and the manager who seemed always engaged to make this so.
HOTEL LOCATION: On the main street in downtown Moab, this is a convenient location to walk about the town.
HOTEL SET UP: Parking is in the back of the building, some of the parking is covered. The lobby has a large breakfast / gathering room that is spacious and comfortable. Free buffet breakfast served daily which was better than one might expect in a small remote town. Mon - Thu there is a "manager's reception" in evening that varies in menu from day to day. (Menu posted on fridge in room.) Most Homewood's serve beer or wine, but this is Utah so you're on your own. You are welcome to bring your own into this area with you and they'll even provide glasses if you need them.. Fenced in patio in the front and covered shaded patio (with tv as I recall) off of parking lot. Indoor pool, workout room, laundry.
ROOM SET UPS: Some are two room suites, some are open concept studio suites. We had the latter. In spite of reservations months ahead there were only dual queen rooms available but it worked out great. Very comfy beds. If I could wave a magic wand I'd have them add one 'club chair' to the living area layout which had only a sleeper sofa for seating. Our bathroom was shower only which we MUCH prefer. Rooms are not carpeted but have wood look laminate with a couple of throw rugs. Loved that for keeping things clean of dust and dirt. (Some reviewers on other sites raved about these as wood floors. They do look good. But they are laminate.) There is lock up space for mountain bikes, if you take them, but I noted a number of people were storing them in room given all the space. Each room has a small kitchen with cooktop, full fridge, dishwasher, sink, table and chairs. No ovens.
ROOM LOCATIONS: A few rooms that face front have balconies. Ours faced front but didn't have one. Front facing looks out on main street and we loved that. But it will be noisier from traffic, including night time big rigs traveling through, so if you value quiet over outlook, let them know and choose a room looking out onto the parking lot or side street.
ACCESSIBILITY: For travelers with mobility disabilities (11% of the population), or their families I'll note this appeared to be one of the most accessible hospitality properties I've seen in a long while. I didn't use an accessible room but noted they had several. Looking about the property all looked right from parking throughout all the public spaces. For travelers with disabilities who don't need grab bars in bathrooms, even the standard rooms may work for you.
THIS N THAT:
1) GREAT MARKET NEAR BY: You can walk across the parking lot to a great little natural foods Cooperative market (Moonflower Community CoOp) behind the hotel. All kind of good things here including really delicious take out if you want to pack it with you to the park or nosh in room.
2) PLAN AHEAD TO CHILL :-) : Utah liquor laws prevent selling wine or beer chilled in stores. Including the only state run liquor store in Moab. If you are looking forward to picking up a nice cold six pack of beer or bottle of wine after a long park exploration day, be sure to buy it ahead of time and put it in the fridge in the kitchen in your room. There were a LOT of unhappy people at the Moab liquor and grocery stores to find out they couldn't buy cold beer. read more
