Gonzo Inn

Stayed in the “ fireplace suite “ room 114 mid December. Room rates were really affordable. The room itself was large and very clean. The staff is very kind and accommodating. You cannot beat the location. Only reasons I’m not giving this place 5 stars… When booking I was asked if I would like a soft or firm mattress, opted for the firm. The mattress that was provided was anything but firm and to the point of worn you could feel the springs inside. You’re not allowed to store your bicycles in your room , instead you are required to store them in their secured location. It would be fine except your only allowed access to them under their designated time slots. The walls and floors are a little thin and you will most likely hear your upstairs neighbors taking every step, and your neighbors next door. The water flowing through the walls for the adjoining rooms in this unit is also pretty loud. You’ll know when your neighbors are showering. Even with my minor issues, I would highly recommend this place and will hopefully be able to stay here again in the future.

Best hotel in Moab! Fabulous location, just off the main strip easy walking to all. Stayed here for a 3rd time this week, traveling through with dogs. Very pet friendly. Rooms are spacious, quiet & clean. Did have a room this last time with no bathroom door, which was ok for us, but might not be for all. Staff is amazing & included breakfast delicious!

I’m hesitant to write this great review because I don’t want anyone stealing our gem! We have been coming to the Gonzo Inn for years, before the new ownership and after. It’s just amazing and the staff and team are so accommodating, kind, friendly and welcoming! The breakfast coffee shop is SO good! My kids enjoyed the fresh smoothies and the coffee so very good as well. Food is great, cute outdoor space to eat, even when it’s chilly. Although we ate inside in the couches. The rooms are amazing, clean, and large. Being able to travel with my kids and dogs is so special. We will be back again and again! Thank you for another great trip.

Absolutely loved my stay at The Gonzo Inn! Everything about this place was perfect — the rooms were spotless, cozy, and full of personality. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out. The food was a big highlight — every meal was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The location is also ideal — just minutes from the main attractions in Moab but still peaceful and relaxing. I’ve stayed in many hotels around Utah, but Gonzo Inn truly stands out with its warm atmosphere and attention to detail. Definitely one of the best places to stay in Moab — can’t wait to come back!

Warm people, great location, but the rooms need love The Gonzo Inn has a lot going for it. The people who work here are genuinely kind, welcoming, and eager to help. Every interaction felt warm and sincere, which made us feel at home right away. The location can’t be beat—an easy walk to restaurants and shops, yet tucked just far enough away to feel peaceful. The retro, slightly funky theme adds a lot of charm and gives the place real personality. We stayed in a first-floor suite, which was spacious and conveniently located, with a lovely covered patio that we used often to enjoy the beautiful weather. Unfortunately, the room itself seemed tired and in need of some maintenance. There was a persistent musty odor, likely from old carpet and a slow bathroom drain that released an unpleasant smell every time we used the sink. The vent fan in the bathroom didn’t seem to work properly, so moisture lingered after showers, and it left our clothes smelling of mildew—I actually had to wash everything twice when we got home. The lighting could also use some attention; the fluorescent LEDs were harsh and unflattering, while turning them off made the room too dark even during the day. A mix of softer incandescent or warm LED bulbs would make a world of difference. Overall, the Gonzo Inn still has heart and potential. The staff and location make it a place worth rooting for, but it could really shine again with some updates to the rooms and better attention to maintenance details. I truly hope the owners invest in bringing this gem back to its former glory—because the people and the spirit of the place deserve it.

We stayed at The Gonzo Inn last weekend, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed—with that fun, unique Moab character you just don’t get at chain hotels.||The location couldn’t be better: walking distance to great food, shops, and just a short drive to the parks. Speaking of food, the breakfast and café options were excellent—fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to our mornings.||Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. Comfortable, convenient, and full of personality. We’ll definitely be returning to the Gonzo Inn on our next trip to Moab! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Gonzo Inn was wonderful. It is easy walking distance to town, one block from Main street, and the bike path.They also give a senior discount.Both the pool and the hot tub were open and the water temperture perfect. Do be aware they only have king bed, one to a room.It would be nice to have 2 queens when going with a friend.|I wouldn’t pay to have the breakfast included. There are so many great breakfast places in Moab.

We had an amazing stay at The Gonzo Inn! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was spotless, stylish, and very comfortable — loved the unique Southwestern design. The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk to great restaurants and shops, and only a few minutes from Arches National Park. The pool and hot tub area were beautiful and relaxing after a long day of exploring. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Moab — we’ll definitely be back!

We recently stayed at The Gonzo Inn during an 8 day road trip and it was one of our favorite hotels of the trip! We were traveling with our Golden Retriever, and they were completely accommodating and dog-friendly. The best was having a ground floor room, which had a back patio to relax in as well as a grass area just steps away. The location is perfect, walking distance to town and the staff and owner are so friendly and nice. We can't wait to return!

From the second we were greeted, the whole check in process was outstanding. Deniz was so kind and informative- told us where everything was and gave us recommendations for around town. Room is clean and spacious with everything you need! Definitely stay here over the main stream places if you can!

We stayed at the Gonzo for 4 nights while visiting Moab in mid May. We had a great stay in a standard suite. We had plenty of room and all the amenities that we needed. The hotel provided coupons for breakfast at three different restaurants. These were good for $14 toward anything on the menu, for each guest each morning. The pool was fantastic. It is a salt water pool so you don't feel like you need a shower when you get out. There is also plenty of shady area to relax by the pool. All of the staff was very helpful and pleasant. We will be back.

Stopped by here for drinks and appetizers. Great location, wonderful staff and the views of the ocean and people enjoying the beach and waves just made for a perfect stop.

This was a really cute spot right in downtown. There's a pool and hot tub but the pool is NOT HEATED and it is not open during fall/winter. My room was clean. Every room feels like a little condo because it comes with a little patio. They give you a breakfast voucher for each day you stay which gets you breakfast at the cafe at the Gonzo. The food was good but mediocre, mostly breakfast sandwiches and pastries. There's way better food elsewhere if you've got dough to spend and time, but this was still a great deal. The room was clean and the bed was probably the most comfy bed i've ever slept int including my own bed. There's a patio with a fire pit. It's very close to the main strip in downtown and a drug/grocery store so you don't need to drive for anything. The staff are SO FRIENDLY. I'm only giving 4 stars because the walls are very thin and you hear EVERYTHING. They allow dogs which is great for folks with dogs but not great for people who want some peace and quiet. If you're a light sleeper- bring ear plugs and a sound machine or sleep with noise canceling headphones.

This place is so cool! It has a funky southwest vibe that is affordable and close to everything this desert town has to offer. The service is A+, balcony views to die for, and is very well kept! We stumbled across this place on booking.com and so glad we did!

We had a suite with a Creekside view. The kids had so much fun playing on the big lawn and throwing rocks into the creek. The room was like a home away from home, coffee machine, dishes, comfortable bedding, everything was very clean and I especially appreciated the blackout curtains. It is an extremely dog friendly hotel, we did report to the management that we had issues with our neighbors and their dogs barking nonstop at 6:30 in the morning. They offered to move us into a better room, and even brought us some wine and chocolates as an apology. I appreciate that they really want their guests to be happy. 10/10 would recommend.

Booked here last minute and not sure what to expect. The room was awesome! The staff were incredibly friendly. I will stay here next as well. Definitely a great location too

From check in to check out, the outstanding staff did a wonderful job! They were very helpful and friendly. We shared a corner two bedroom unit that was perfect for two couples traveling together. Every little detail had been thought of from the quality of the sheets and towels to the bathroom amenities. All of them top notch! The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and again the service was excellent. The location was great for easy walking distance to downtown. I would highly recommend staying here!

The coffee place was amazing, especially the food, and the whole Inn had an enjoyable environment. It's within walking distance of the entire downtown area, and the staff is extremely nice. Overall, I would definitely recommend to come check this place out if you're in the area.

Booked an evening through booking.com because it's pet friendly. Paid for the room and then had to pay $40 pet fee upon arrival, wasn't stoked on that part. They did give us (2) $14 vouchers for Cafe Italiano located in the lobby, we got a vanilla latte w/breve, a smoothie and the American breakfast which was all covered with the vouchers! It was all tasty and freshly made; which to me redeemed the entire experience!

I can't say enough about our time at the Gonzo Inn. We stayed for the second time last week. Last time was as a couple, and this time with kids. Room was spacious and comfortable. Our upstairs room had two balconies overlooking the pool. We loved sitting on the chairs on the balcony enjoying drinks together. The staff was very kind, and they have lots of cool gifts in the reception area. The $14 breakfast voucher purchased some great breakfast to help fuel our day of adventures. We cannot wait to come back again! Thanks Gonzo Inn!

There is no better place to stay in Moab. Great rooms, great pool with bbq deck, diy laundry, secure bike storage and Awesome breakfast/coffee shop attached. Can't ask for more!

Great weekend returning to Moab and Gonzo after 10 years! The addition of the cafe and being able to get breakfast made fresh was a real bonus. Rooms are perfect, location is great for being able to walk to everything downtown and close to Arches National Park to be able to enjoy all day there and return to relax in the comfortable suites. Teşekkürler Ederim!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The restaurant has better than average breakfast. We would stay here again and recommend.

Great place to stay in Moab, terrific location. We have booked our third stay and looking forward to it.

awesome place to stay. We stayed here the first weekend in march before the spring break crowds invaded and we had such a nice time. The location is quiet but close enough to walk to everything downtown. The rooms are clean and quiet, front desk staff was super nice and helpful . The on-site cafe for breakfast had the kindest staff and great food and they will make you lunches to go. Definitely recommend the Gonzo!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Gonzo Inn for one night. When we arrived around 3:30pm, we were given bottled water at the front desk because there was no water anywhere in the hotel. No showers, no flushing of toilet, no using of sink. There were paper signs around the hotel saying that water would be off for maintenance that would be over by 4pm. The water was very much not back on by 4pm. It still wasn't back by 6pm or 6:30pm. I reached out to the Gonzo Inn after my stay to request a partial refund. A representative called to discuss my request and told me that the issue was the result of the flooding in Moab....that had happened a week and a half prior. When I asked why we hadn't been notified in advance of the issue, I was told that they knew that the day before our visit that they wouldn't have water, but they didn't reach out to any guests because they "didn't want to bother their guests."

This is what you call a hidden gem. Thanks to Yelp, we found this Hotel and Suites. Super cute, comfortable and just perfect. Centrally located so you're able to walk to most restaurants and shops. Room #109 is a suite and the back door patio leads straight to the pool which is a plus. They have a BBQ grill if you feel like grilling after coming back from a nice bike ride or off road trip.

The customer service at this hotel is exceptional. I'm not gonna lie. I had some special requests, I also needed solutions immediately. Liz at the Gonzo Inn's attention to detail, problem solving with empathy and compassion for my situation was incredibly helpful. She is kind and solution oriented. I have been platinum at Marriott for a very long time, they didn't assist me. Liz crushed it. She is awesome and she needs a raise. The hotel was downtown and an extremely reasonable price. It was clean and it was pet friendly. Thanks Liz for going so far above and beyond for my friend and I. You're an unbelievable human being. Thank you for being kind when others weren't.

Wonderful and unique Gonzo Inn was the perfect place to enjoy a long weekend. Close enough to walk to many shops and restaurants in town. We also used it as a base camp for visiting Arches National Park. The decor matches the name: Gonzo. It is tasteful and centrists with a hint of steam punk to make it interesting. The front desk personnel are always pleasant and welcoming. We would like to return and use the pool/hot tub next time. We were so busy hiking in Arches that we didn't have time to try the pool.

wonderful stay... amazing staff and management. loved the hot tub and pool ... very accommodating and friendly staff. the location was ideal - right near Main Street, adventure center , restaurants and shops!! I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Moab or surrounding national parks. I will be staying there again !

Enjoyed our stay very much. We stayed in a one bedroom suite. Very clean. Very helpful and friendly staff. Room was well equipped and bed was comfy. All rooms have a balcony. Great area to walk dogs. We would stay here again.

MINUSES Horrible lighting in room. Bright bluish white LED bulbs made us feel like we were in a hospital. The bulbs should be 2,700 kelvin warm white. Boring rooms. Brown carpet, gray wall paint, gray couch, gray chair, grey steel lamp and one gray and black photo of a dead tree above the couch. Not at all like pictured on their website. They need to liven up their rooms... colorful artwork and brighter creative paint colors. PLUSES Staff Good breakfast Central location Nice patio off room

Three or four stars, I prefer 3,5. The location in the center of Moab is very good, allows walks to restaurants and bar on the main street and short way to the entrance of Arches NP. On the web-site the Gonzo Inn looked like a fancy boutique hotel but in reality it was just a hotel as each other. The room was ok, breakfast also but not more.

It's nice to have a truly dog friendly place to stay when road tripping with our pup and on that measure, the Gonzo Inn is as good as they come. A welcome pouch for our pup with treats and a map of dog friendly spots in Moab -- it was thoughtful and a mark of true hospitality! But what impressions they made there were quickly eaten away at by the broken (and thus hanging) cabinet door in our room, the lack of blankets for the pull-out bed and -- and this might seem like a nitpick -- but the exclusive use of extremely bright WHITE light in every single lamp and overhead light in the room. It all made for a very jarring experience and was not on par with the greeting and thoughtfulness of the first impression! We will try to stay elsewhere when visiting Moab again. The Hyatt Place looks promising!

Not bad. Pictures are better than actual. Good for dogs. Breakfast was pretty good. Pretty expensive. Gal behind counter was funny. Overall not too bad.

You will not regret staying at The Gonzo Inn. Staff is friendly, very responsive and helpful. Rooms are spotless and spacious.

I absolutely adored this hotel. The rooms are small but FULL of natural light from all the windows. Cute little patios a nice pool area and the free breakfast is top notch! Perfect to fill up on before a day of hiking. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends. Plus it's right across the street from the state liquor store! Huge plus in my book! It's also walking distance to everything Moab offers on the strips

This is a cute and cozy place. The reason I am giving this 2 stars is due to having 50+ elm bugs crawling all over the room, including in the bed. They were EVERYWHERE! This is not exactly the way to get a good nights sleep! I called the after hours phone number hoping to talk to someone about getting a refund so that I could go find another place to stay that night. Nobody answered. I then text the number (it was an iPhone) the message was read but nobody ever replied. Don't have your number listed as an after hours number if you don't plan on answering calls! If it weren't for the infestation of bugs I would have enjoyed this stay much more...

The place is ok. The carpets feel dirty and one of the two rooms we reserved smells like cigarette smoke. The front desk tried to help but there were no other rooms left. I am not a fan of the metal headboards in the rooms. It's just not comfortable to lean against while watching TV. I don't think I'll be staying here again. The location is nice and that's about it. I also am not a fan of politics getting involved but I feel it's absolutely inappropriate for the desk staff to be wearing political affiliation bracelets. Especially in this tense party climate. It says a lot about the hotel.

Amazing place to stay! Rooms were super clean and spacious. Has a private balcony or patio. The staff treated you like family and was always friendly when you passed by. Would definitely recommend anyone staying here!

My favorite place to stay in Moab, it's at the end of a little side street yet just a very short walk to the heart of everything in downtown. Pet friendly too!

We were very happy here and would definitely return. Cross country road trip with 40# dog. This place was a nice break from other pet friendly hotels. Liz was very helpful with restaurant ideas. Being Christmas week many things were closed. She also mentioned that they close after first of the the year for a few weeks because low season. We got $10 breakfast vouchers p/person to a couple choices in town. Understandable business move. They closed their restaurant because low season. We ate 1/2 block from hotel. Very easy. The rooms are like condos. Living room, kitchenette, Coffee maker, small fridge,bedroom, bath, pull out sofa. Lots of room. We splurged for "creekside": room because it had a fireplace! It placed us on the grassy backyard with lots got pup to look at.

Unique little gem. If you want non-cookie cutter hotel, this is your spot. We were told breakfast was continental, but it was so much more. Waffles, muffins, breads, eggs and Seattle's Best Coffee. Outdoor breakfast seating. Quiet dead end street. Pool and hot tub beautifully lit at night. We arrived early and they accommodated us immediately. Staff was polite, nice and helpful. We especially loved the balcony seating outside our room. Black out shades were a fave of Hubs who has trouble sleeping. Excellent linens and bed was wonderful.

This place is an absolute gem. They were warm and welcoming to me, my family, even my dog was welcome. The room (118) was more than I expected. It was more like an apartment than a motel room. There was a separate king sized bedroom on the opposite side of the room from the living room. The kitchenette had a mini fridge, sink and microwave. The fold out couch was big enough for both of my teenage boys and seating for four comfortably at the kitchen table. We had a private porch attached that opened up to a huge green space next to a nice panned walking path. This made taking the dog out to do her business incredibly easy. The icing on the cake was the vase of flowers, box of chocolates and a chilled bottle of wine waiting for us on the table when we arrived at our room. That was a $20 up sell that I bought when booking the room, but the reaction from my wife at seeing that was well worth it. I got a lot of mileage out of that. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family. Nice job Gonzo!

A great hotel. Balcony off the room is nice. Clean. Well maintained. Pool/Jacuzzi. Bike storage and cleaning. Center of town. Walking to everything. Will return.

Stayed here 2 nights and absolutely loved it. It is more of a small resort feeling versus boring hotel. We had a separate huge bedroom with king size comfy bed. The bathroom was awesome with rock shower and jet tub. We had one teenager with us that slept on pull out bed and had her own TV. The pool was lovely.

Super experience for us at the Gonzo inn! Our room was a one-bedroom apt with private patio, fully equipped kitchenette and dining room table for 4. The pull out bed in the living room was super comfy, as well as the king bed in the bedroom. The pool and jacuzzi are large and really pretty in a leafy setting. We received discount tickets for breakfast at the Cafe Italiano on the premises. They serve food until 1pm which we appreciated and it was delicious and to our order. Light years better than the breakfast buffet at the chain hotels. Reception staff was friendly and helpful. Great location just off the main drag and plenty of parking. We could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend!

We stayed at a few places in Moab with our children (3 yrs & 16 months). This was by far our favorite! HUGE rooms for less than we paid elsewhere for a smaller space. We could walk to everything in town, he pool is nice, and the breakfast was good... and included with stay!!!! (Cannot day the same for some pricier places). Room was immaculate, comfy beds, spacious bathrooms. Can't say enough good things!

Pros: Clean Room and bathroom Very comfortable bed Friendly front desk clerk when we arrived after midnight Continental Breakfast Centrally Located Cons: Bikes are not allowed in your room. There's a sign above front desk. Very strange considering a lot of people have bikes when they visit Moab I am assuming. Then again the beds had very nice white linens and furnishings were decent so perhaps it's to keep cleaning costs down if everyone decided to park their muddy bike against the bed or even on the bed... *gasp*

Stayed here after driving 8 hours from Zion. Clean and cute hotel. Quite and located off the Main Street of Moab but still able to walk to restaurants and stores. Busy week in Arches NP make sure you make reservation.

I honestly don't know why people have anything bad to say about this hotel! It's absolutely amazing! It's within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants and right across the street from the adventure place. The staff is extremely nice and our rooms were perfect! The beds are AMAZING! Pillow top everything and the room had a little patio, fridge, tv and table. I loved that one of the lights has a USB plug in so I could charge my go pro! Never had a problem with my wifi it always worked perfectly. The showers were so nice they also provided some complimentary toiletries. The rooms were super clean and well kept. I loved how they had a great complimentary breakfast with waffles and lots of choices and that this hotel is pet friendly. Don't know why you would want to go anywhere else? I will def be coming back to this place anytime I come back to MOAB!

Love this place! We've been on the road for a week now and this hotel surpasses any we've stayed so far. For the price of an average room at some hotels, we have a lovely suite with large living area and large bedroom, decent size bathroom, two balconies, a small kitchenette and the use of a beautiful pool. With temps outside upwards of 100 degrees, the suite was nice and cool. And very clean. Surrounded by trees, and with an eclectic vibe, this is a place we'd recommend to any weary traveler.

This my favorite hotel in my favorite place to vacation. It is usually pretty quiet even though it is in the heart of Moab. The staff is very nice and friendly and helpful. The amenities are conveniently located and the saltwater pool is amazing. We have spent many nights here and we keep coming back year after year.

We had a fantastic experience here. They have a variety of rooms, including suites, so we could accommodate several size parties in our group. The staff is friendly and warm. The property it cute and unique and all of the facilities (pool, hot tub, laundry, common area) were easy to access and quite nice. Great experience!!

This is the place to stay! It's the cutest little place and has a room layout like a suite. It has a bedroom (one king size bed) , living room (pull out couch for two),kitchenette, and TWO balconies!! One in the main room and one for the bedroom. This place comes equipped with a pool, hot tub, FREE breakfast, wifi, and really nice workers Yes this hotel has conditioner (woot woot ladies) Also free breakfast includes: cereal (froot loops, raisin brand, granola), yogurt, toast, muffins, fruit (apples and bananas), oatmeal with sides, and warm biscuits with gravy.

Meh. It's not a bad hotel. But it isn't worth the $150 a night I paid. The beds are very uncomfortable. Walls are thin.... If you know what I mean. I also thought the pool would be open and heated. That was my bad, though. I ran into my friend while down there and she was staying at the hotel that shares a fence. She was in a fully renovated room and paid $45 a night. The only reason I won't stay again is because of the rate. Not worth it.

I'm giving 5-stars not because this is a "5 star hotel", but because it perfectly met our needs in many ways, and I wouldn't bother checking into other places when I come back to Moab. So, that seems like 5 out of 5 to me. We are traveling from Austin to Park City, where we are going to spend the next 2 months. We have 2 dogs, and needed a place where they could stay. And, we wanted a place that wasn't a dump. Our room was huge - a living/kitchenette room separate from the bedroom, with a dining table for 4. We overlook a large lawn stretching back to a creek running through town. It was a short 2 minute walk to Zax for pizza and salads. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. After driving 15 hours over a couple of days, we just chilled when we got here and let the dogs sleep for a while. It was very comfortable for that. Today, it is a short 10 minute drive to the entrance to Arches NP! So, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place. We'll definitely stay here and send our parents and friends here for weekend trips.
