Get a room for 8 people in Moab, UT for less than $150 at this Hilton property

Late last year, Hilton launched what was—at the time—their 25th brand: Outset Collection. Hilton markets this brand as being “designed for guests looking for soulful, independent hotel experiences.”

To be honest, I’d forgotten about the brand until I noticed it among the logos of Hilton’s various brands the other week. I decided to click through to see how many of them there were and where they’re all located.

At present, there are only seven Outset Collection properties, all located within the US. When checking out the different hotels, one of them—Slackline Moab, Outset Collection by Hilton—caught my eye for two reasons: there are several room types that can accommodate up to eight people for a very reasonable price, plus it’s in a very attractive location for visiting two excellent National Parks.

If you’re not familiar with Moab, UT, it’s a cool little town that’s only a short drive from both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. Neither of those made my top 5 National Parks we visited on our road trip, but they’d probably both make my top 10 (for what it’s worth, Arches was my wife’s 3rd favorite), so they’re definitely worth a visit as the natural rock formations and landscapes in both parks are incredible. Dead Horse Point State Park is also worth a visit when in the area if you have time.

Staying in Moab doesn’t come cheap though. Back in the day, one of the best values points-wise (if you could find availability) was the Hyatt Place Moab as it was a category 2 hotel and so only cost 8,000 points per night at the time. In the past 5-10 years, it’s been bumped up to category 5 which means redemptions now cost anything from 15,000-35,000 points per night—quite the increase.

Cash rates in Moab can be very high as well, particularly during peak season. Off-season hotel rates can be far more reasonable, but the costs can still rack up if you’re traveling as a large group and so would normally need to book at least two rooms. That’s why I found it so notable that the Slackline Moab has at least three room types that have four queen beds (two regular queens and two queen bunkbeds):

  • 2 Queen Beds with 2 Queen Bunk Room
  • 4 Qn Balc Mobile/​hearaccess Ri Shwr Fam Room
  • 4 Queen Bunkbed Patio Hearing Accessible

Other than the beds, the rooms themselves look a little sparse. That said, if there are eight of you in a room, you probably don’t want it too cramped with loads of other furniture. Besides, Moab is the kind of location where you want to be outside all day and just have somewhere comfortable to sleep at night which is what it looks like Slackline Moab offers.

It’s the pricing that’s perhaps the most attractive part of this. Needless to say, pricing varies throughout the year, but in the off-season it’s possible to book one of these rooms that sleeps eight people for less than $150. For example, on the night of November 18, 2026, you can book a 2 Queen Beds with 2 Queen Bunk Room from only $145.73. That’s the all-in price including taxes and fees, although it is a non-refundable rate.

Still, less than $150 for an eight person room in Moab is superb. The location seems decent as well; while it’s not in the heart of downtown, it’s just across the road from the Hyatt Place Moab and is only a few minutes drive (or a ~30 minute walk) from the center of Moab. The entrances to Arches and Canyonlands are both to the north of Moab anyway, so the hotel’s location gives you a few minutes head start for getting to those.

Award pricing doesn’t seem to be anything special, but considering it’s classed as a Premium Room Reward it’s not awful either. On that night in November where pricing is $145.73, the 2 Queen Beds with 2 Queen Bunk Room costs 44,000 Hilton Honors points. That’s a redemption value of 0.33 cents per point which is ever-so-slightly less than our Reasonable Redemption Value of 0.35 cents per point. Considering Hilton’s Premium Room Rewards rates usually provide very poor value, 44,000 points for a room sleeping eight people certainly isn’t bad. If you stay for five nights and have Hilton Silver status or higher, you’d also get the 5th night free on an award stay which means you’d get better value than that. Update: DMoney reminded me in the comments that seeing as these 8 person room types are Premium Room Rewards, they’re sadly not eligible for Hilton’s 5th night free benefit.

Even during peak season, the upcharge for this room isn’t unreasonable. For example, on May 20, 2027, a base level room that sleeps up to four people can be booked for $246. One of these rooms accommodating eight people would be $294—less than $50 more.

I’ve not stayed at Slackline Moab myself and so can’t attest as to how nice it is. It has decent reviews online though, so I thought it was worth highlighting in case any readers would love to visit Moab as a large group, but thought it would be prohibitively expensive.

So what are your favorite national parks Stephen?

Grant

Awesome, was going to ask you if Zion made the top 10 list. The Angels Landing hike and the Narrows hike are 2 of my favorites!

Andrew

White Sands is very high on my list to see in the next year, and one I don’t think gets a lot of love being in New Mexico.

We loved our trip to moab (got it while the hyatt was still cat 2). At the time there was an on demand shuttle bus run by the city. We used it constantly to get around town.

Stephen – minor correction: Hilton’s 5th night free works only for standard room awards but not for premium rooms. You pay full price for 5 nights for those rewards.

DMoney

Happy to help. After all, this is the site where I have learned it all 🙂

Sweet! Snagged a weekend in November for $100/night

For anyone looking to go to Arches and loves to go off the trail and rock scrambling, make sure you get a permit for the Fiery Furnace – it’s a sanctioned maze where you have to choose your own route through the rock formations! Tons of fun.

Came to Moab for Arches and Canyonland. Left happier with La Sal Mountains. Personal preference – I much prefer Zion NP. Moab was pretty meh to me after Zion.

That said, cool find.
