I didn't get to stay at this property. My plans changed and I tried to re-book my stay to the following weekend. I tried to change it at 1 pm and was told the cut-off is noon (even though property allows to 4 pm] and I would be charged for both weekends. The hotel was happy to change it, but Expedia wouldn't let them. Expedia has set it up so there is no way to contact a customer service rep, the only option is a virtual assistant that does nothing helpful. Expedia's little game to force customers to buy travel insurance by changing the cancellation time from noon to 3 or 4 pm is tacky. I've used Expedia since they started and there are too many better options for travel than a company that cares little about customer satisfaction or customer friendly policies.

Some minor problems as the bathroom light was tricky to get to stay on and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up. They have good parking for my truck pulling a trailer.

Cheap for a reason

The molding shower was horrifying. we didn't use it. The walls need retexturing and painting. This isn't in much better condition than when it was the Ramada. Friendly staff (if you can find them). Breakfast room was unattended most of the time, the fridge that they keep the milk and yogurt in was full of mildew and smelled bad. Also, because I have to follow a strict gluten free diet, (my daughter also) we did not find much food safe to eat. Holiday inn express and many other places have gluten-free items upon request. There was no breakfast attendant I could even ask about what my safer options would be.

Not good

Checking in was super easy, and front staff was super nice. Problem came when we entered the room. Old, sticky, not clean room. There were no pool towels so when asked they provided old towels with holes in them for the pool. Wouldn’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend anyone else staying

The room was clean and well maintained. We loved the bed and the large pillows. Breakfast was the normal eggs, sausage and waffles. We will definitely stay there again.

One of the few places in Green River that accepts dogs, and is not a complete roach shack - so props to them on that part. Staff were nice and helpful. Rooms were clean, but pretty basic. The bed and pillows were about average, comfort-wise. AC and fan unit was noisy, as usual for a place like this. The worst part of the stay was probably Green River itself. Not much going on, especially for dining options. It's a typical pass-through oil country western town. But, overall, it was clean and good for a single night stay. Also a decent value @ about $90 per night.

Went to sit in hot tub and water was below body temperature!. It was determined that morning shift forgot to turn it on. It's not left on gentle recirculation all night? It took about 15 minutes for the hot tub to start feel warm.

Great deal

The hotel was good for the price. It had a hot breakfast with bacon, sausage links and eggs. The hot tub was a bonus after hiking delicate arch and being sore. It took a bit to warm up but the front desk was quick to turn it on and start warming it up. The bed was somewhat firm, slept okay. The tamarisk across the street had a great menu of food. Loved their dinner menu.

The Swell is a welcoming little oasis in a frontier area. The rooms are clean and the staff friendly and eager to please. I stayed two nights a week apart and will return again if the opportunity presents.

So I drove all the way down to Moab and when I got down there, I went on Expedia to look up a hotel while I was browsing through prices and I found this place and I guess without even thinking I booked it because I was searching in Moab and I go to find out after I book it that it’s actually located 50 minutes away from Moab. So the fact that this hotel is listed in Moab is messed up in the first place then I get there because I couldn’t cancel and there’s literally only one place to eat and it was about to close at 9 o’clock and there’s nothing else to do in the area. There’s just a couple gas stations so then we stay the night one night we go out to do our thing in Moab, which was 50 minutes away we come back only that the power in the entire hotel is off and they don’t have a back up generator like normal hotels so everything is black. The elevators don’t work there’s no lights in the hallway. Nothing the whole hotel is shut down so just being irritated by the entire situation. I just left a day early because it was not the experience I was looking for and I would never stay there again. What hotel does not have a back up generator in case the power goes out that’s like standard 1 oh one also why do they advertise for Moab when they’re 50 minutes away they’re clearly not in Moab. Everything about the hotel was inconvenient. Also, the breakfast was basically just carbs, crappy old bagels, crappy tiny, super hard muffins everything was gross.
