Top Sand Flats Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Red Stone Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is friendly, helpful"

Hoodoo Moab, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"

Moab Rustic Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean in this older motel. The kitchenette was a nice addition, with silverware, a few dishes, a hot pot, microwave, and a nice-sized smaller fridge. The only odd thing was no bathroom sink, so the kitchen sink has to double as a bathroom sink. They have installed a mirror above it. The area is very quiet, just 2 blocks from main street."

"Amazing location, exceptional communication and customer service, the perfect spot to spend a week in Moab!"
