Top Sand Flats Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Hotel Moab Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location"

Expedition Lodge Moab Arches National Park

8/10 Good

"Nice facility and comfortable beds. Great location. Wish they had more gluten free breakfast choices, but good place to stay."

Slackline Moab, Outset Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The hotel was different than any other we’ve visited but it worked perfectly for our purpose. Loved the pegs, extra long suitcase bench for all our coats and gear. Lots of room for toiletries for 2. Not a fan of the way the floor, room and hall shook for the 3-4 hours the hotel did room laundry. The first evening we had to call to ask what was going on because all the room doors were shaking down the hall as well as extreme floor vibration. Have never experienced this in any hotel."
