Refurbished motel with friendly atmosphere in moab. Stay with the guys in the know for a great time who are willing to give you the info u need for your Moab thrill seeking adventures. Special thanks to zac who made our Moab trip a blast. His local contacts and knowledge of the 4x4 trax, mountain biking trails and great places to chow down hit the mark after a day in the dirt or tackling slick rock. Also check out the chilli pepper cycling store for great bikes, gear and coffee.

The Rustic Inn is your 50-60's era type motel, that is in process of being modernized. Was a bit pricey from what I would expect, but comparabily speaking everything in Moab fell into that same category. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was pretty basic, but was quiet, clean and comfortable. We had stayed outside of Moab the previous nights, so was nice to be within walking distance to restaurants and shops. They had wifi, which we were looking for to update everyone on our trip.

We are currently in our 2nd day of a 3 day stay at the Rustic Inn and I'm compelled to write a review. Upon arrival our room wasn't stocked with soap, toilet etc... When I asked about this I was handed the supplies. Then today we arrived back to our room after being gone hiking only to find that the room had not been serviced. While the Manager apologized, he did not offer any solution. Tonight, we decided to do some laundry only to find the laundry room trashed. The Managers response was to lock the door and tell us to go use a laundrymat in town. Finally, I must mention that this motel is not accepting the special room rate that is listed on Tripadvisor.

The Rustic Inn is pretty quirky. I liked it! I stayed here a night and again few nights later
on the return trip. The location was great for in town, not much noise, easy to find!
The parking lot is tight! A lot of trailers with ATV's. The up side is everyone, at least the nights I was there, worked to make everything fit and it was great to talk to fellow travelers. The girls at the desk were helpful and friendly!
The room was a good size. if you had 4 people it could get tight.
The bed was okay and I did get some much needed sleep.
The bathroom is small and the mirror is over the kitchen sink! It works!
A shortage of plugs but I have a surge bar with a long cord so I could charge up all my gear up on the desk.
The 3/4 fridge is great because I fix my own food. The plus was fixing meals and freezing them for a few days ahead.
The blinds were not so good and you will hear about it in other reviews. I got mine to work mostly!
The wifi was okay, but as always ( almost everywhere ) they need to get faster, better routers!
The Rustic Inn is pretty quirky, but it works on so many levels. The price was great! You don't feel like you are paying the Moab Tourist Penalty Tax!

They are fixing up this property and I got to peek in one of the new rooms. They look good! The changed the blinds to horizontal instead of vertical and the colors are more earth tones. The same basic design that they can't really change much because the buildings are poured concrete walls. Still an improvement!
The Rustic Inn and The Red Cliffs Lodge share some of the same design features in the rooms because they have the same ownership. ( I stopped at the RCL to inquire and they let me take a look. I decided I needed to be in town so I moved on ) The Rustic Inn is a great stay for Moab!
I would stay here again!
I would recommend it to some friends and family!
It's an acquired taste. If you need high end perfection look elsewhere.
If you are okay with the basics at a basic price, this is the place!
