Red Stone Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room close to Arches and Canyonland NP. Had hot tub and cheap laundry available"

Aarchway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"wonderful hotel. we had a great stay. can't say a single bad thing about it. room was good size clean and had everything we needed. cookies every day in the lobby were a nice touch. the breakfast was amazing. it was better than going to a restaurant and paying. the coffee was super strong but nothing a little hot water couldn't fix if you don't like it that strong. the hotel is on the north side of the strip closest to Canyonlands and Arches and Potash scenic road. we didn't use the pool but it looked great. just can't imagine staying at a chain hotel instead of here."
