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.

River Canyon Lodge was a well-kept and comfortable stay. Bonus points for complimentary coffee machine which even offered espresso. Perfectly located within walking distance to restaurants, and 15 minutes from Arches NP and 45 to Canyonlands.

If you like being walking distance to downtown restaurants this is your place! The rooms are clean and comfortable. They do not have coffee in the room, but do have coffee 24/7 and a Starbucks coffee machine . Another convenient item was the water bottle filler in the lobby. We thought this hotel was a great value and would stay again.
