Hat Rock Inn

Hat Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was big and renovated and incredibly clean. The pool was outstanding, nice and cool and the view amazing. It sits right on the river and they really took advantage of the view. There isn’t much nearby for food or beverage so you need to plan accordingly but that isn’t the fault of the motel."

"We stayed here for one night in between visiting Moab and Monument Valley. It's a beautiful, modern hotel with a southwestern ambiance. It's cool how it's set right next to the rocks too. The room was large and very comfortable. I would stay here again if I were in the area."

10/10 Excellent
"The host is the host of course of course to the famous Mr. ED. Education of the reality theory that the best place that God had placed us was at 444 miles from where I started. It was incredible! Everything that I had in the past from the best houses where I had gardens, trees and even grape leaves with purple colors not like Oprah who can only helicopter into Maui and overlook society that was genocide of an energy weapon used to reverse the weather pattern at the same time a pineapple company would figure that instead of fixing electric lines it is best to put them into a portal and come out the other side. THIS PLACE WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DESERT ROSE INN which I always stayed at until they turned it into a zoo. The gardens were a great plus, and I wish we could have stayed longer so reserve early and stay as long as you can to the gardens of Zion and the national parks as it is quiet and convenient next to the bluffs and near the petroglyphs from 2500 years ago. It was what ROCKY would say is ABSOLUTELY the best place to stay and not living in a camper van like Sylvester and Arnold. It was a great place to finish, "The book" not like the snotty French Canadian and Zionist that I encountered on the Camino de Santiago. I have been in 21 countries and didn't know why but this was planned and executed so well. 444 means God sent Angels to make my Ukrainian wife and I laughing at the synchronicities of the noodles and snacks and swings!"

8/10 Good
"Mixed pros/cons:Pros: Great communication from host, very nice to have washing machine/laundry detergent, propane grill and coffee provided. Very quiet at night and check in was easy. Very nice patio view.Cons: Unpleasant smell - we don't know if from the A/C window unit, previous dog guests, or what but the property had an unpleasant smell. It was grubby clean. While the the sinks, toilet, bed sheets, and carpets were clean things beyond the basics were not clean. Some examples are finding dirty dishes/silverware mixed in (at check out guests are to clean the dishes and put them away and not everyone washes well), grubby tv remote, curdled creamer (I tried 10 different little creamers and all were chunky), and whatever was causing the smell. Tips: Bluff Fort (3 minute drive) shares the amazing story of the Hole in the Rock Expedition. Those people were tough! Free admission. The nearest grocery store is Blanding (about 25 miles) so be sure to stock up before you arrive."
