The prices in Moab were a bit higher than we had anticipated. Moab is the main base for numerous recreational activities- hiking in the national parks of Canyonlands or Arches, visiting the goosenecks of Dead Horse State Park for sunset, enjoying 4×4 outings, rock climbing, and water activities. Moab primarily (at least for the tourist) is centered on Main Street. Here you will find supermarkets, restaurants, gas stations, souvenir shops with a picturesque backdrop that makes strolling in the evening or any time of the day a relaxing experience. Temperatures in Moab can run hot- and not every hotel offers a pool. We ultimately chose the Virginian Inn for a variety of reasons- it was located directly off Main Street so it was easily accessible, it was located towards the “end” of Main Street as one heads off to the National Parks so it was relatively traffic free. The Inn had ample parking, the front desk staff were pleasant. The rooms are motel like style with the building have 2 floors- all entrances are from the outside. The rooms are spacious, with good air conditioning. The bathrooms were large with adequate amounts of hot water. It was an easy walk to many restaurants, popping in and out of souvenir stores and even a stop for shaved ice. The hotel is pet friendly. It’s quiet side street location makes it an ideal place to stay.
