Red Cliffs Lodge Moab

We loved this property even with the ongoing construction. It’s outside of Moab - maybe 15 miles - down a road that parallels the Colorado River - outstanding drive. Bring food or eat at the minimalist restaurant. The rooms are spectacular and overlook the river and cliffs. Great private patio perfect for stargazing. The restaurant is good enough to get you by, that’s not why you go here. They do charge $20 for parking, but on my bill, that was reversed, which only seemed right. We were on a schedule, next time I’d stay 2-3 nights and relax.

This place is very nicely located, right on the river. The cabin wears comfortable and well appointed. But the place should not be charging the high price they’re charging when the main building is closed for renovations. Also $20 additional to park a car is absurd

If its not broke, don't fix it. Simple enough concept. Marriott recently bought this property and utterly destroyed this charming rustic property in one clean swoop. Where to start? The rooms used to be literally mini western cabins. Knotted pine bedframe, old west photos and decor, Beds that faced the river, rustic charm everywhere. Now it looks like every other Marriott or Hilton property, the IKEA simplistic look. We could be in any Courtyard by Marriott property in the Big City, except for the amazing views. The Lodge with the Restaurant and Bar and Museum, all being renovated to the same type of wanna be corporate version of what the west should look like?? Why?? The Lodge was unbelievable already. Why fix what didn't need fixen? Then you got the 20 dollar fee to park in the dirt lot? Huh? Another Marriott add on..no screen door on the patio to prevent the millions of bugs coming into the room why you try to listen to the river. Why have river front rooms if you cant even enjoy it, its why your paying 350 a night. Jill the Manager is the one saving grace for this place. She has gone above and beyond to try to make our stay enjoyable. Huge shout out to her, she is terrific!!! Really Sad to see this happening to a place that holds so many awesome memories. I hope whoever signed off on this at corporate is Happy. Cause your returning guests aren't but who cares about the guests when you can monetize and destroy a property that was Legendary.

Buyer Beware!!! The entire main lodge is under construction, so the 'restaurant' was moved to an small side building. Tiny place for a 'restaurant', limited menu, not what we paid for. The rooms are nice, but the 'kitchen' in the rooms is also a 'buyer beware'...no forks/knives/spoons, no plates, no nothing except 6 oz plastic cups and 8 oz paper cups. How can you use a kitchen or microwave without anything to put the food on? Wouldn't be so bad if we were near the town, but Moab is 30 minutes away. It is very disappointing that there is no mention of any of this on their website. We only found out when we arrived.
