The staff wasn’t very welcoming. Felt like I was interrupting their phone scrolling time. Pool was out of towels and had to go in to ask for some. It was just pretty average experience. Nothing to write home about.

The rooms were nice and cozy. The price was very reasonable. It's located at a prime location right in the heart of Moab. Food trucks and lots of shopping within walking distance. A great option of restaurants near by. The pool & hot tub felt amazing after hiking.

Nice rooms, not great service

Rooms are updated and nice, location is convenient. They do not staff the front desk 24 hours, nor is the front desk person able to make decisions as they are not a manager. We needed to shorten our stay by one night due to incoming snow storms on our road trip and tried to cancel the second night of our stay. The front desk was unable to help us and told us to email the manager, who never responded. Any sort of response would have been nice, and we had to eat the second night despite dropping our keys off to an empty front desk before 6am the next morning.
