Abousoluty fantastic stay! Staff was extremely nice and welcoming. Fire pit was awesome, just to sit out by the fire every evening after wheeling all day was great! Rooms were clean and loved the vibe. It's location was nice too. It's on the edge of town so you don't get all the traffic noise. I only have one complaint, at night there are no lights anywhere. I had to carry my flashlight with me after dark to see while walking down the stairs. There were battery operated motion lights under the stairs but did very little to help while walking up or down after dark. Overall one of my favorite places to stay! Whenever I come back, this is going to be where I stay !!!!

Passed up the BIG hotels for a local business. Apache Motel did not disappoint. Room was spotless, bed was comfortable, breakfast was available along with a kettle log fire on the chilly mornings. Friendly and professional staff provide excellent service. Easy walk to town restaurants and shops. Less expensive than the chain motels. Perfect spot.

This was the perfect place to stay while visiting Arches and Canyonlands. We loved the retro feel of this motel, with quintessential "roadside motel" vibes elevated just a notch. For the cleanliness, ease of checkin, and overall vibe of this place, I feel I got tremendous value for the money! I was a little bummed there was no breakfast because it was advertised, but I completely understand why since it's the off-season. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend staying here!

This motel is absolutely fantastic! I love mid century motels and this place was it! Nicole and Maria were the kindest most interesting women ever! And they will go out of their way to help you find anything you may be looking for. The pool area is a perfect spot to swim (heated pool, didn’t get in, but felt the water, bliss!), grill out or just relax in a hammock or swinging chair and read or enjoy a nap. There is a fire pit right outside the office and it really is the perfect way to end your day. We met people from all over the country and shared stories over beers. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. It is conveniently located to everything but just off the main road so lighter traffic. You can walk to so many places from this motel. And pass parks, shops, restaurants etc. 10/10 recommended! Bonus: I came to Moab to see where my late friend lived and worked before she got sick and returned to Atlanta. This trip was emotional for me. I found a picture of this motel on her social media after we left and that just made it more special. I love this place and will not stay anywhere else when I come back!

The staff have been super friendly & helpful! As a solo traveler I felt very safe and comfortable here. They have a kind of retro western aesthetic, a cozy bonfire out front & a cool back story. The location has also been a close distance to all the things I wanted to see & do. Would love to stay here again if I ever get the chance!

This place was great! Firstly, the bed was extremely comfortable which is something I wasn't expecting. The staff were so friendly, especially Nancy on the morning of my check out! Great conversation while enjoying the complimentary breakfast. The cinnamon rolls were delicious and there were plenty available even at 8:15am. Definitely an older property but I'll definitely stay here again due to the staff, comfort and price. Thank you!

Great spot in Moab with a cozy fire pit every night (at least in cold season) and affordable rooms. Right in Moab is great and quieter street vs the main strip. Breakfast is pretty much croissants and oatmeal with coffee. Rooms were spacious and comfy. I would stay again!

The Apache Motel has vintage and historic charm! The staff was attentive, friendly & helpful. Our room was very clean but could be updated some and still maintain the vintage feel. Overall our 2 night stay was wonderful and the value for what we paid couldn’t be beat!

We have stayed here every year when we come into town for softball tournaments. We love the friendly staff/owners and the cleanliness and daily upkeep of the property with attention to every detail. This year our room had some pretty old, squeaky, uncomfortable beds. I’d suggest an update to the mattresses but everything else is wonderful, including the fabulous pressure shower head!
