Celebrating a Legacy of Excellence
This transition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the previous owners, Kali and Josh Bisco, a dynamic married couple who have nurtured and grown The Gonzo Inn into a staple of comfort and sophistication in Moab.

During his time with the hotel, Deniz was often found at the front desk and managing daily operations, ensuring a seamless guest experience. Huseyin’s fresh ideas, motivated staff, and powerful work ethic promise to take The Gonzo Inn into a new modern generation of lodging.

Deniz, who became familiar with The Gonzo Inn through a partnership deal with his Cafe Italiano services, has worked diligently to modernize and deliver his decades of hospitality yield management skills to the unique lodging and events property. His deep connection to the hotel and community is evident in his dedication to enhancing the guest experience and supporting the local area.

“As the new owner and manager of The Gonzo Inn, I am delighted to embark on a journey of collaboration and excellence.

A Personal Farewell from Kali and Josh Bisco
The decision to transition ownership was made with careful consideration. Kali and Josh are now ready to embrace new opportunities and focus on their family. “For me, The Gonzo Inn has been a significant part of my life for nearly 30 years,” said Kali. “While we will miss our daily interactions, we are excited for this new chapter and are confident in the bright future that lies ahead for The Gonzo Inn.”

Kali and Josh will remain involved through the rest of 2024 to ensure a smooth transition. They express their heartfelt gratitude to their clients and the community for their unwavering support over the years.
