I've been to Moab roughly 20 times in the last 10-12 years and have stayed at the Redstone all but 3-4 trips. I've spent a total of over 2 months in this hotel over the years. A lot of the other reviewers have nailed it, its no frills, but cheaper compared to a lot of other options in town, and it's smack dab in the middle of everything. The rooms are clean, but not the nicest. You can get a nicer hotel in Moab, no doubt about it, but you're going to pay substantially more. Moab isn't the little town it used to be, it's an international tourist destination and some of the chain hotels charge accordingly.
The quaint Redstone more than suits my needs for my time in Moab though. Whatever the reason you visit, biking, wheeling, sightseeing, it works. All you really need in Moab is an air conditioner, bathroom, and a roof. The rest of the time you should be outside enjoying everything the area has to offer.
We usually are at the Redstone as a part of a group of 30+ people, and after a long day out on the trail it's a ton of fun to relax at the outdoor patio with some cold ones and put some dinner on the grill.
The pool across the street is a great way to cool off in the hot summer heat too. The hot tub is nice when it's not 100bajillion degrees out.
Monica and her staff have been great to us over the years, and we will continue to stay at the Redstone for our Moab adventures.
For me personally, it's 5 stars for what I'm looking for out of a hotel in Moab. But I get that others may be looking for more, so I dropped it to 4 to fit the general public's expectations a bit better.
