Moab

Downtown Moab is known for having fun shops, restaurants, and being a ten-minute drive from the entrance to Arches National Park. The town is busy and fun.

Luxury:

Sunflower Hill Inn

Guests have nothing but positive things to say about the Sunflower Hill Inn. The location is perfect – it’s in the center of Moab, but still secluded and quiet. A warm breakfast buffet and fresh pastries are available every morning – enjoy breakfast from their great patio and porch seating. If that’s not enough to convince you to stay here, the pool, hot tub, and shared BBQ will do the trick. Rooms sleep two to four.

Mid-range:

Best Western Plus Canyonlands Inn

This hotel has the most walkable location on this list. It’s in downtown Moab next to all the shops and restaurants off Main Street. Guests rave about the complimentary breakfast and love the outdoor seating area.

Budget:

Apache Motel

This is such a unique stay, and we love the amenities here! They offer complimentary bikes to explore downtown, hot water for washing bikes and dogs, barbeque areas, a general store, a heated pool, and trailer parking. Plus, they have a nightly fire and continental breakfast!

Spanish Valley

The Spanish Valley is a ten-minute drive south of downtown Moab. It’s quieter and more affordable here, with great access to off-road trails.

Stay in these condos to have more space. They sleep between six and 22 people, with a heated pool open year-round, two hot tubs, a lounge, and multiple barbecues.

Red Cliffs Lodge

We noticed this lodge while driving on Highway 128 and immediately knew this would be an incredible place to stay. The lodge is on the edge of the Colorado River, and the grounds are beautiful. Plus, it’s pet friendly, and they offer sack lunches to take with you hiking!

North of Moab

Stay here for easy access to Canyonlands National Park and the nearby BLM land great for off-roading and biking.

Mid-range:

Under Canvas Moab

Under Canvas Moab is located seven miles north of Moab. It’s a safari-inspired glamping, so you’ll stay in yurts outfitted to stargaze or the larger canvas tents that fit up to four.

Dead Horse State is a dark sky sanctuary located ten minutes north of Canyonlands National Park. Staying inside the park is such a treat. You’ll have the chance to see great sunsets, sunrises, bright stars, and nocturnal wildlife!
