I love Moab; I love the national parks nearby and the hiking and biking trails that can be found in any direction. I have spent a lot of time in the area over the years and have ridden many trails and hiked countless bluffs. Regardless of where I hike and where I bike, I always play hard. and after a hard day of playing there’s nothing I look forward to more than a good night’s sleep.
Last time I was in Moab, I stayed at the Big Horn Lodge, a great hotel right on bustling Main Street in the Heart of Moab.
The Big Horn Lodge is a great place for the adventure traveler. They have taken every chance to accommodate the needs of bikers, hikers and other adventure travelers. For example, if you are taking three days to go down the Colorado River, you can spend a night at the Big Horn Lodge and leave your luggage locked up in their storage area while you go rafting. When you get back, they will have it waiting for you in your new room.
I think it is that type of service and consideration for Moab vacationers that makes the Big Horn Lodge so special. They understand that we come to Moab to play and they do everything they can to help us play hard without compromising a good night’s rest.
The rooms are very clean and comfortable. They are not huge, but there is enough space to store your bikes in the room. Of course if you don’t want your bike in the room with you, you can always use the bike storage that is offered to all guests.
The pool is not huge so I don’t suggest lap swimming, but it is perfect for soaking and relaxing in after a long day of hiking. If you need a bit more for your relaxation, you can also head across the street to their sister property where, as a Big Horn Lodge guest, you can soak in their hot tub.
The other benefit of the sister property is the laundry facility. You can do your laundry while you kick back in the hot tub and get the best of both worlds.
The Big Horn Lodge is right across the street from a grocery store, which makes replenishing your supplies very convenient. When grocery food doesn’t hit the spot, you can eat at the affordable Smitty’s Golden Steak Restaurant, which is part of the lodge.
When I stayed at Big Horn Lodge, I was very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was about the area and the trails nearby. They were also helpful in providing an overview of the area restaurants when I checked in, and even showed me some of the locals’ favorite places to eat. Their extra efforts helped me feel far more comfortable with venturing out into the city for the evening.
Overall I was impressed by my comfortable stay for such an affordable price. The Big Horn Lodge is a great place to stay while you are playing in Moab.
