The property was very dog friendly although the daily charge for the pet was high. We did not use the spa.
I was annoyed that when we had a drink at the bar, they made us buy food, citing a Utah law that they claimed forces them to require that patrons buy some food at the bar. I happen to live in Utah part time, and have oftern had a drink at a bar that did NOT have this requirement. I don't think they know what thery are talking about and really resented this.

“This resort was exceptional. The river rooms had a world famous view with amazing areas to sit and enjoy. The food is amazing and the service supreme. The ranch was very informative with tons of animals to visit. We did a trail ride on horseback that was spectacular. This is a great value and we can’t wait to return. Easy access to town with a wonderful drive in and out. We love Moab, the stars and The Sorrell Ranch. Thank you for your hospitality!!”

“The property worst experience for money paid, you have a tolet flushing ac sound all night if you want to have ac running, if you want to sleep you have to have ac off, another minus ghere is no food at restaurant menu that you can order, half menu is not availabele and if you aant to eat you have to go to town which is 35 min away, so for money you have to pay for stay at this hotel is not worth at all, we are not leaving reviews ussualy for our hotels we stay at. But for this one we have to, avoid this overpriced and overrated hotel, it is not worth the money thay charge you for the night. Any other motel or other chain hotel which is 10 timex cheaper in this area is 10 times better. Will never stay here again. Di not waste your money!!!”
Excellent service

“We visited at the end of December, which is off season. We were the only guests.
The staff took us on hikes and made dinner, lunch, and breakfast just for us. They were fully staffed as it is a working ranch.
Rooms were excellent directly facing the river.
The setting is magnificent with huge mountains and mesas surrounding the property. We loved it and the team there.

“Beautiful property and scenery. On the bank of Colorado River. ”
The luxury of desert views.

“The location of the hotel is excellent. The luxury of Sorrel is that it gives you the experience of living on a ranch with animals. Its not South Beach or New York Luxury. Its the luxury of getting away from urbanity. The hotel could use some updates in the furniture and design. The staff were excellent, always accomodating and friendly. ”
Great location and good place to relax.

“We went there for new years with the kids. As it as winter there was not much to do but the staff was beyond accomodating. The Ranch has a beautiful view of the river and all animals are well taken care of. It will definitely be better in summer.”

“Property was beautiful but the level of service on all levels was very bad for the money you were charging on a nightly basis. At $800/ night you would expect to be greeted immediately at our car, handled quickly at check in,explained in great detail all of the various activities , personally taken to our roooms....nope..,none of that happened. Then when we came for dinner,, you were out of two items on a very limited menu, the wait for dinner once ordered was over thirty minutes and nobody was in the dining room. Same for all meals...way too long a wait. 5 star location with 2star service. The staff that we interacted with were always very nice but clearly, a lot of new hires and training was non-existent. If the room rates were $400/ night we could have overlooked a lot of this nonsense...but not at the rates you were charging.”
A dramatic and very disappointing drop-off!

“We stayed there in 2015 and it has gone backwards dramatically. It’s as if no exterior or interior maintenance and upkeep has happened at all. The place was a mess. It’s as if the owners decided to strip all revenue out of the place and run it with absolute minimum staffing. (The staff that was there was generally hard working but they were way overworked.)
We ate dinner three nights there and they had to Comp drinks and/or dessert each night. The level of deferred maintenance was very high. It is a shame as the setting is stunning. ”
“
Nice place and location. Rooms and cabins nice. A bit over priced for a luxury resort based on amenities and service. I felt as though for expense of the property the details of the atmosphere seemed Inconsistent and lacking detail. ”
Not worth the very high cost

“Beautiful setting with a large, comfortable room right on the river. However, not worth the cost. 30 minutes from town so food options are very limited. There is another resort a few minutes away that has the same views and is more reasonable. When I got home I saw they charged me for an additional night by mistake. ”

“Nice property. Rooms are clean and overall space is picturesque. Since I was there during off-season, not a lot of amenities were available which I expected. However the food was not great, lack of flavor. And the service was not good either, lots of delays and time. I couldn’t figure out the temperature in my room. Overall I liked it here, it’s beautiful and upscale. But I didn’t think it wa”
