Property is off the main road, making it a quiet retreat from a long day of enjoying the national parks. The seasonal pool and hot tub are a nice bonus as is the 24hr coffee bar. Rooms are clean but not huge and while there, the elevator was broken unfortunately so luggage had to be carried up the stairs to both the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Great location.

Great location while visiting Arches (10 minute drive). The rooms look renovated and feel cozy. The bathrooms are really nice. Shops and restaurants in Moab are walkable from here. Seemed a little odd for a 3 story lodge with a hundred or so rooms to have an out of order elevator for multiple days

Vacationed in Utah for 10 days. Stayed at 5 different hotels and the River Canyon Lodge was by far the best and not the most expensive. Very nice place.

The receptionist gave me some static because I had used a website to make reservations rather than directly with them. Not enough towels in the room, ice machine not working in 3rd floor, elevator not working and shower was a tiny little trickle. I would not recommend this hotel.

This is a quiet hotel just off the main drag but within easy walking distance to downtown. Would definitely recommend if you like quiet but please know that as of this review the elevator is out of service and not scheduled for repair until November when the hotel closes for the season.

Beds were comfy. Elevator was broken, had to lug bags upstairs. No one offered to help. Room needed a table and 2 chairs. There was room for this. But it is in a good location, one block off of Main St, so it was quiet. Plenty of parking.
