My hotel in Moab is the Ramada Inn. I am staying here for three nights. I looked out for something relatively cheap and found out about the Ramada Inn in Moab. I would like to provide you with a short review of Ramada Inn in moab.

Breakfast and dinner is not included, you will be required to get food and drinks yourself. The Ramada Inn in moab has a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. Both are relatively dirty. The WiFi is only available in the office and will not have enough range to your room. I am currently using a WiFi network from a nearby hotel (it is open and I can log in, Gonzo Inn I think).

The rooms are clean, however look a bit old fashioned with an old carpet and a very loud, old air condition. Nonetheless you have cable tv with a very new LCD tv. The Ramada Inn in moab is no place for a living, but very okay if you just want to sleep here. Hope you enjoyed my short review of Ramada Inn in Moab. Check out my reviews of Arches national park and Canyonlands national park, that’s where I will be heading the next days. My rating: 6/10

I searched for a hotel very close to the Capitol Reef. I am a Best Western fan and was lucky to find the Best Western Capitol Reef resort, for which I would like to provide you a short review.

I did not expect it to be that good, but upon arriving I saw a tennis court, a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. My room was very clean and looking well, with WiFi and color cable television. The bathroom had a little surprise, a Jacuzzi bathtub. Dinner and breakfast can be purchased for a few dollars. I only purchased breakfast for 6 $ and it was quite good with bacon and pancakes.

All in all I would rate the Best Western Capitol Reef resort with 9/10 points, not 10 because a chair in my room was broken. I hope you liked my review and make sure to check out my Capitol Reef review.

I was confident that I booked a good hotel close to Zion national park. I wanted to access the park quickly without having to drive very long. I found out about the Zion Mountain resort just at the east end of Zion national park. To get there from the west I had to drive through the little town of Springdale (they have good ice cream there close to a bus station, can’t remember the name unfortunately ) and through the whole Zion national park. The entrance fee was 25 $ but it’s well worth it. This is a short review of the Zion mountain resort.

I drove through the park at night and it was a very extreme experience. I have never seen such cliffs before as a born European. Red cliffs and curvy roads with an impressive view from the roads. Anyways, cruising at night through the park is very interesting and beautiful.

The Zion Mountain resort looked a bit simple when I arrived with just a few houses and in the middle of nowhere. But after checking I got surprised. Those tiny beautiful little wood houses have an hightech equipment in mountaineer style. Everything is made of wood. Everything is well cleaned with no exceptions. What I found even more surprising, the Zion mountain resort has WiFi! You can take your notebook, log in and communicate with the world. Nonetheless, the speed was rather slow, but okay. I liked the mountain hotel a lot, I would even say it was better than my hotel in Las Vegas. Also interesting is the Buffalo meet which you can eat in the local restaurant. It is very tasty, however quite expensive with 27$ for a rib eye. The night did cost me 110$ and that is more than okay for the Zion Mountain resort. I liked it and rate it with 9/10 points.

After leaving the Dixie national forest I decided to find a hotel in Panguitch before going to Bryce Canyon. I found the Purple Sage Motel and would like to give you a short review of it. The outer shield says: high speed internet, cable television and hot tub. All of them is available except the WiFi. First of all you get a 20 digit key which you have to enter and then you are unable to connect, The women at the desk seemed not to be able to help me with my problem, so I am staying with no WiFi although that was promised on the advertisement at the entrance.

The balconies are a bit dirty and the rooms smell a little bit bad, except that the purple Sage Motel is okay. I am sitting on the bad here and must say I am a bit pissed because my promised internet access does not work as it should.

If you like read my Panguitch review, that’s where the Purple Sage Motel is located.

Edit: The WiFi works now and I am watching CSI Las Vegas.
