This place was walking distance from downtown and all the restaurants. Very convenient location. The only thing I would say is that the rooms are very small.

the lodge and area around it are amazing. The basic rooms are very nice, but aware that they are definitely "cozy" (i.e. small). the staff was great and responsive.

Enjoyed Moab
Good location in Moab and nice pool area.
The guest registration / general area needs better lighting, too dark.
Lots of restaurants and interesting shops.
