    As of today, the Redstone is completely booked for the 28th, 29th, and 31st of May.

    Time to find alternate digs... or just wait a couple of more weeks like last year when more rooms opened up.

    Freaking eh I knew I was slacking off. Did you ask and see whether they had a waiting list going on or should I just check back often?

    Try the place across the street, can't remember the name, but I want to say the same people own that place that own the Redstone.

    That would be the Big Horn Lodge. They were going to be my alternative last year, then Redstone had an opening.

    Keep calling every couple weeks - they may get cancellations like they did last year. Or call the Big Horn - they're owned by the same people as Redstone, but I don't think they participate in the group rate we get at RS.

    Can anyone comment on the "Apache Motel" or the "Silver Sage Inn"? They are both about $70/night and have rooms available

    I've stayed at the apache and it's pretty ghetto--similarly so to the Big Horn. Not impressed with either of them. The bowen is in the same group as well.

    For hotels, the Archway wasn't too bad, the Ramada isn't too bad either. Actually, the motel 6 is pretty new and not too bad either.

    I'm not sure what the prices are though. There is also a Best Western or something like that accross the street from the Brewery (just due south of the Redstone) that is really nice, but I would expect it to be a little more expensive.

    There is a Laquinta right across the street from Moab Brewery. We have stayed there before. It is nice but a bit more pricey. I wanna say like $95 a night.

    I called the Red Stone Inn asked to be put on a waiting list. Said no one else had so I am #1 suckers

    Edit: And I called their sister hotel, the Big Horn and they're full that weekend as well.

    I waited too long to get into Cedar Breaks so got a reservation at Purple sage. Walking distance to party with guys at Cedar Breaks.

    It has bunk beds if someone wants one for $35 a night. No hidden cost or tax. Just $35 and no more. I do have a dog that will be with me but there is a full kitchen.

    Just figured I would offer the bunk beds if someone wants to lodge that way.

    Called again today, got in for the nights of the 29th and 30th, wait-listed on the 31st.

    Anyone had any success for the 31st?

    I'm guessing since they didn't have availability for your whole stay they didn't let you know?

    hmm, hanging out with friends in town, having a BBQ in my front yard, having a reasonably good place to work on things, sleeping with the AC on, making a nice breakfast, and having a nice shower for ~$40 per night vs. sleeping in 90* heat away from town, getting up earlier to commute, and bumming or paying for a shower at the campground.

    true, that’s a tough choice.

    I do a lot of camping in Moab and S. Utah (probably 40 nights a year), and I’ve camped during GSW, but from my experience it’s just much more fun and convenient to be in town and with a comfortable place to crash. When you spend 13 hours in 100* heat stacking rocks and dragging 5500# rigs through Pritchett, it’s nice to have a shower and a clean bed to sleep in

    I doubt it'll be unbearably hot this year though. Just barely early enough to miss the scorching heat (most likely).

    They are going to be booked no matter what. So, would it really be worth it for them to call you? Nope.

    I'd like to believe that if they bothered putting me on a waiting list, they would at least honor it. I'll go with Dave's answer since it puts a bit of faith in humanity

    Sorry I took your room Ryan! Give them a call, maybe they still have a couple more for the 29/30th. They said something about a tour group coming through the night of the 31st so I might be camping that night!

    I have faith in humanity but not the people standing behind the counter at a motel. They get paid either way.
