This is one of the first times that I am glad to be able to review a hotel for positive things! We got our room on a semi-whim, on our way back from a trip up north, and I actually told my wife that this is one of my favorite hotel stays ever! The staff (Amanda) was great! The room was spacious, clean, well-situated, and comfortable. The restaurant was fun, unique, and the wait staff was great. The only complaint that I would have is that there was no exercise room, but there was a golf course, and other activities available that I did not take time to enjoy! I would definitely return, and I would love to spend more time there!

The hotel is very conveniently located in a sweet spot between Zion and Bryce national park. It can be a perfect base camp to tour Zion and Bryce along with Antelope canyon. The hotel has a large surrounding area, nice to walk around in the afternoon. It offers free parking with ample parking spaces. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. In-room refrigerator was handy. The staff were nice and accommodating.
No full housekeeping/cleaning was offered, only took trash in the morning. The towels and amenities were available only upon explicit request. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful, but the reception was occasionally unattended. The area is a bit lonely, no proper restaurant except the hotel diner.

About 40 min from the Zion visitor center. Rooms quite confortable for a family of 4. Pool and jacuzzi are nice touch but no gym at the hotel. The hotel seems to have been renovated in recent times. Very nice restaurant! Absolutely a must having a meal or more.
No fitness room. Also upon arrival at 3:10pm had a hard time finding a person to check us in. Restaurant closes completely on Wes and Thu due to lack of staff. Therefore, if you happen to stay at the hotel during these days there will be no food service at all.

Staff could not have been nicer. The room was very spacious and very clean. It was unfortunate that the restaurant had to close for a couple of days of our stay but we enjoyed the meals we had there. Loved the quirkiness of the restsurantcand the fact that although it's part of a chain it still feels very much like a family run hotel and you feel personally cared for as a guest. It was in an ideal location for Zion and Bryce Canyon and we also enjoyed a visit to Kanab too.

It was on our way to the Grand Canyon and it was in a lovely area. Restaurant was good.
We got a knock on the door from housekeeping saying checkout was 9am and they wanted to clean the room, the booking said it was 11 as did reception at check in. Found it a bit odd, like would they have gone into the room where our stuff was if we had been at breakfast.

Nice hotel. Nice pool. Quiet place. Very welcoming staff. Very clean. Probably best choice east of Zion NP.
The hotel restaurant closes at 10 PM. There is nothing else around except a gas station with some sandwiches so be sure to have supplies if you arrive late. Next closest city is Kanab about 20 minutes away by car.

Beautiful upgrades to this classic hotel. Love the patio off our room. Spotless! Loved the Keurig in the room with enough pods for two cups of coffee each!
Long wait to eat at the attached restaurant and there's no alternative but the staff were lovely.

Jane at front desk was very helpful and pleasant. Room was the largest we stayed in on a 16 day trip. Was very clean and did not find long black hair on sheets and towels like other hotels we stayed in. Restaurant was very good, excellent service!
Only thing we had trouble with was the TV.. Could not figure out how it worked. Tried for a hour and quit..

The hotel was clean with very comfortable beds. All of the food at the restaurant was pretty good. And the location was great being around a hour drive to the parks.
Showers were good. But they could use a little more water pressure.
