The Gonzo Inn, Moab

Very well kept rooms and a friendly staff. However the food was very poor. i would suggest they hire a chef who knows how to cook. I enjoy a chuck wagon style breakfast but not the slop I received for breakfast. the Marine Corps had much better food then this place.

This is the second year we stayed at the Gonzo Inn so that my husband could run in the Moab Red Hot race. It is a fun, funky place, but we have not had a fridge or a bathtub, so that makes it less family-friendly. This year we had a good visit, paid our bill, and then were surprised to find an additional $100 charge on our credit card. We called and they said that housekeeping had noted we had a dog in our room, so they assessed a fine. Our dog was back in Colorado. I was told to call back to talk to a manager. The manager explained that housekeeping recorded that there was dog food and a bowl of water on the floor, and pet hair throughout the room. Totally untrue. They must have gotten the room number mixed up, I offered. Not possible was the response - it was not a busy weekend and "housekeeping doesn't make mistakes". We went back and forth for a while. Finally the manager said she would refund the charge, but again reiterated that "housekeeping is very thorough," clearly implying I was lying. After all that we checked their website, and it says pets are welcome for $30/night. We only were there 2 nights, so I guess they were assessing a $40 fine for us not disclosing we had a dog (although of course, we had no dog). I will not stay there again.

The least expensive room is $152 in 2008 most are $200. It's in the center of town, near Utah State Liquor Store and an easy, short walk to restaurants. I like it, but thought it was expensive. Definitely one of the finer places to stay in Moab. Every room has a patio or balcony, and the views are excellent.

This hotel was good in all aspects. A nice place to enjoy. Good service was given by the hotel staff, would like to visit this place again along with my family and friends
