Planning advice

Review Summary: Proximity to Arches is the big win. Breakfast and the espresso bar matter. Peak-season pricing can be hefty, but parking is free and the shuttle helps with park access.
The Honest Truth: It's not a boutique hideaway, but it puts you within a short drive of Arches with solid on-site dining and a kid-friendly vibe. Peak-season pricing is high; there is a pet fee and potential extra charges for rollaways. The espresso bar is a nice perk and breakfast is included, with free parking and a dependable pool to unwind after a day in the park.
Room Insider Tips: Ask for a back-building room to minimize potential noise. If traveling with kids, choose a Family Suite or Executive Apartment for extra beds and space. For quiet mornings, use the espresso bar area rather than the lobby.
Pro Tip Booking: Book direct at aarchwayinn.com or major platforms; peak pricing varies by room type.
Cancel 24 hours ahead to avoid a 1-night + tax fee.
Request back building for quieter rooms; confirm pet-friendly units if traveling with dogs.
Your Morning Game Plan: Hit the espresso bar for a solid start. You’re 5 minutes from the park entrance, so roll out by 6:45 AM to dodge crowds. Grab breakfast at 7:00 AM and head straight to Arches for a full day of canyon vibes.
Pro Tips: Parking is free with a large covered pavilion; RV parking available.
Complimentary Full Hot Breakfast daily 7:00 AM–10:00 AM.
Espresso Bar and Specialty Coffee Shop on-site; a quick walk to Moab’s dining.
Cancellation: 24 hours prior to arrival to avoid 1-night + tax.
Dogs allowed with a $50 per pet, per stay fee; max 2 pets per room; do not leave unattended; leashed in public spaces; off-leash area available; service animals exempt.
