This place needs vast improvements with properly repairing the drywall in the ceiling in the bathroo
Pros:

I do not eat breakfast.

Cons:

The water valve in the shower would not turn off all the way in water dribbled 24 hours a day... the drain pipe under the sink in the bathroom leaked on the floor. The shower curtain is so thin that it wraps around your body while you're trying to take a shower. The toilet and the toilet seat are both far too small for an adult. The housekeeping staff threw my socks on the floor of the bathroom when I had them hung up to dry.

You get what you pay for.
Pros:

I liked that the facilities were clean and the cheap price.

Cons:

I did not like the check in process. The gentleman at the front desk seemed annoyed with my valid questions. Facilities say there is a pool and there is not. The bed was not the best but okay for someone who had been car camping. Also laundry services were a bit expensive.

Séjour trop court
Pros:

L’accueil et l’intégrité et l’honnêteté du personnel, ayant oublié un sac à main sur les lieux.
Petit déjeuner copieux et variés.

in Ordnung wenn es keine besseren Unterkünfte mehr gibt.
Pros:

der Check-In war einfach, aber etwas unfreundlich. Das Zimmer ist klein aber sauber. Es gab Frühstück.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war zu teuer für was es bietet. Man konnte die Leute auf dem Flur hören. Das Frühstück war so naja.

Only if it’s the last room in town.
Pros:

We were camping in Moab. Due to heavy rain, flash flood warnings and 60mph gusts, we needed a room for the night. The only positive thing I can say about this property is it had a roof that kept us dry during the rain storm. That’s it. Everything else was far below average. A rip off.

Cons:

Front desk person (appears to be an owner/operator) was none too friendly when he was called from the back office to check us in. The décor looks like it’s been cobbled together from what ever was available at the thrift store. Sewer smell coming up from the sink drain. Also some other odd smell in the bathroom, couldn’t place it but smelled like something burnt. Pictures missing from walls, just picture hangers where pictures should be hanging. No clock in room. Toilet paper holder kept trying to fall off the wall. The plates covering electrical outlets also wanted to fall off. Some outlets didn’t work. Floor lamp didn’t work. Tub in terrible shape, needs replacing. Bed was horrible, felt more like a box spring than a mattress. Hall smells like wet, mildewy towels. For a mere $250, you too can have this unforgettable experience. No, I can’t recommend this motel.

Pretty bad choice - take it if no other options
Pros:

Last minute booking, overall room was somewhat clean

Cons:

I had no other options besides sleeping in my car. Read previous reviews all pretty spot on. Derelict and outdated. This should not be a $200/night stay just because it sits in Moab. And for that matter shouldn’t be allowed to operate there until completely restored. Only book it as a last option.

I would never stay there again.
Cons:

Very noisy! Heard the people talking in the room next to us! All the doors slammed. The breakfast was not good. It was one of the worst places we have stayed in.

Pros:

That it was cheaper than the surrounding options.

Cons:

When entering the lobby, it smelt like throw up, old coffee and carpet that hasn't been changed since 1980. There were many people waiting to get checked in around 8pm on a Tuesday night. I stood in line for a minute, but decided to grab a bite to eat to kill some time. Got back around 930pm and was checked in fairly quickly. Got to my room, it was clean and basic. The bed was a worn out spring mattress that folded me into the center like its the original bed that has been there since the place opened. I was so tired from being off grade that week, that I didnt really care. It should be called, "The GhettoWay." Cause, it's definitely not the best place in town.
