“Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Gonzo prior to 4-wheeling and camping in Canyonlands. The hotel's location to shops and restaurants is great and convenient. Everything is in walking distance. The hotel is just off the main street which is an added bonus; you do not hear the traffic. The bed was very, very comfortable and after 2 nights of camping we missed it. The shower is awesome, huge and unique. The hotel décor is a little quirky but that just adds to the charm. We enjoyed the continental breakfast and I was surprised there was an option for me - eggs (hard boiled) as I cannot eat wheat/gluten. The outside patio was OK. We had a room that faced the parking lot with a wooden fence around the patio so we did not have much of a view. We still enjoyed sitting out in the sun and fresh air sipping drinks. We had a first floor room with a family above us. We could hear their footsteps clearly! Defiantly request a second floor room. We would stay at Gonzo again and request a second floor room. We have been to Moab often and if you are looking for a beautiful paved road drive we suggest the La Sal loop. The scenery changes a dozen times and each turn is more beautiful then the next.

Room Tip: Request a second floor room not overlooking the parking lot.

“Nice Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here two nights at the end of September. We had a decent second floor room, straight upstairs from the lobby. (No elevator) It faced west and, fortunately, came with fantastic light-blocking shades on the window and door to patio. The sun was brutal! The room could have had more lighting for the evenings. The shower was huge. The pool are was very nice; had some good shady spots which we appreciated with temperatures nearing 100. A decent continental breakfast was served in the lobby. The hotel is just off the main road, so there is no traffic noise.

“Great location for Arches!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

The Gonzo Inn is a comfortable and cozy stopping place if you are planning to hike in Arches and Canyonlands. Huge showers and clean room with excellent beds. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast is on the house, but was a bit limited,so we went further afield (many places within walking distance). This isn't a cookie cutter place, which we loved!

Room Tip: We had a ground level room and would probably have enjoyed our stay more if we were one level up--no...

“Good location, treacherous shower”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Our room at the Gonzo Inn was comfortable and it had an exceptionally soft bed & pillows which may or may not be a plus for you. (It was a plus for me after four days of camping!) I liked the small patio outside the room and the ability to keep the door open and enjoy the fresh air. Good central location and easy to walk to restaurants around town. Super close to Moab Adventure Center if that's where you are headed.

My only gripe was with the shower stall. We stayed in room 101 so maybe this situation is unique to this room but it's dangerous. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before - poured concrete with no door. I actually kind of liked the no door thing but the floor was INCREDIBLY slippery. When I first went to shower, there was no rubber mat on the floor and I nearly fell entering the shower. Tentatively, and holding on for dear life, I got out, hoping to find a towel or something to throw down for some traction. Above the toilet on a shelf, was a rolled up rubber non-skid mat. In my opinion, this should have already been in the shower.

When I got out, I warned my husband that it was extrememly slippery, so he went into the shower cautiously and STILL nearly fell down! It was nuts! The non-skid thing is really not large enough for the amount of slippery space in this shower stall. For the record, we are in our early 40s are are normal, fit, people without balance issues. Elderly, or otherwise balanced challenged people, beware!

Continental breakfast was OK. I'd rather see a waffle maker in place of the biscuits and gravy but we did appreciate the hard-boiled eggs and the fruit.

We did not find noise to be an issue in room 101 despite the close proximity to the ice machine and the lobby.

With the exception of one woman at breakfast the staff was kind of stand-offish. Not overtly unfriendly but not welcoming either.

Room Tip: Beware of slippery shower in room 101

“loved the Gonzo!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in the Gonzo Suite (2 bdrm.) with another couple last week. Loved having so much room, with shared living room, fireplace, dining room, patio (plus we each had our own small private balcony patios). The breakfast room is huge, with excellent food choices. The staff was great. The pool/spas areas are great, really clean, without that overpowering, hyper-chlorinated smell!! The landscaping is lovely. A long bike path goes right behind the Inn.
Had a bit of noise one nite from other guests laughing & partying (which kept me awake for awhile), but I turned on the room fan to drown them out & it helped.

Moab is a beautiful place. After being out all day hiking, biking, or rock-crawling, this is THE place to stay to relax.
