#10 Desert Moon Plant Room

The Plant Room feels like a little jungle oasis in the middle of the desert, with maximalist design, deep green walls, tropical murals, and hanging decor that bring the whole space to life. The room is located at the historic Desert Moon Inn, a 1936 boarding house turned artistic desert stay in the ghost town of Thompson Springs, Utah. Just off I-70 beneath the Book Cliffs, Desert Moon makes a memorable base for exploring Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, and the surrounding canyon country. The space The Plant Room is one of six private rooms at the historic Desert Moon Inn, a 1936 boarding house turned artistic desert stay in the ghost town of Thompson Springs, Utah. It is located on the second floor of the inn and has a distinctly earthy, botanical feel that makes it one of the most immersive rooms in the house. Guests have their own private room, while 2 bathrooms and a small shared kitchenette are shared between the 6 rooms in the inn. The kitchenette includes a microwave, mini-fridge, and toaster oven, but there is NO STOVE. Because this is a historic building, the walls are thin, and the Union Pacific Railroad runs directly across the street, with trains passing through day and night. Many guests find that part of the charm and old railroad-town atmosphere of staying here, but if you are a very light sleeper or looking for total quiet, this may not be the best fit. We provide earplugs and fans in each room to help with sound. There are NO TVs in the rooms. Thompson Springs is a tiny old railroad and mining town with very limited services, so guests should plan to pick up food in Moab or Green River before arriving. There is a 7-Eleven about a mile away that sells pizza and a few basic items. The Desert Moon has a true Wild West past. The old dancehall on the property, the Cactus Cabaret, once served as the town bar and brothel, and the inn itself has welcomed travelers, wanderers, and desert adventurers for generations. Today, the property remains a little wild, a little weird, and full of character. We are also an RV park and campground with 11 acres total, so guests are welcome to enjoy the surrounding grounds while respecting private staff areas. Guest access Guests of the Desert Moon will have access to the shared bathrooms, kitchenette, and hotel balcony. Other things to note The Plant Room is a great fit for guests who enjoy historic, character-filled places, artistic and offbeat atmosphere. It is especially well suited to road trippers, outdoor adventurers, and travelers who want a memorable stay with personality. It may not be the best fit if you are looking for a fully private hotel experience, luxury amenities, total silence, or a secluded romantic getaway. Check-in is from 3 PM to 11 PM, and we try to keep 11 PM as the latest check-in so other guests are not disturbed. We may not be available to assist with self check-in issues after 11 PM. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM.
