Top Sand Flats Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Hotel Moab Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was updated nicely, the grounds still look older. We didn't try the pool, but it looks like there is one there. The AC worked well enough, but it's your typical hotel unit. We enjoyed our stay overall, and would likely stay again."

Big Horn Lodge

8/10 Good

"It is a dated property. So things are a bit run down. However staff is great and friendly. The air conditioner is very old and made a noise. Overall ok stay. Less expensive than the other places I saw. The room was clean. Was good value for money."
