Fine, basic hotel, excellent location for visiting Zion, Bryce and even Grand Canyon.
Positives: Central location to Zion, Bryce & Grand Canyon.
Negatives: Not flexible towards customers.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Apr 2010 rated 8 out of 10.
A two level motel style lodging. Large rooms with hand-crafted furnishings. There was a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. Fairly close to Zion and along a very scenic byway. There are only a few choices for food in the area as this hotel is located not near a town, but at a road junction.
Positives: Near spectacular parks.
Negatives: Very isolated.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 19 Aug 2009 rated 9 out of 10.
Great location, decor had all carved wood furnishings (very nice), rooms were cleaned meticulously every day. Everything looked well kept and new even though it has been there a long time.
Positives: Nice decor, very clean, great location, very nice rooms.
Negatives: Some of the help were quite young and inexperienced.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 16 Jun 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
We had a clean, pleasant room with a nice view of the pool out one side and the golf course out the other. Not all rooms have equal views, space, or, apparently, cleanliness. My niece had to request a different room because of a bad smell in hers. She was accommodated in her request. The prices at the restaurant seemed reasonable, which was good since there was essentially no other place to eat. Refrigerators and/or microwaves in the rooms would be very helpful.
Positives: We had a pleasant view and it was clean, including carpet.
Negatives: There was no refrigerator or microwave.

At a y-junction in a very small town. Has its own 9-hole golf course. Rooms are interesting diagonal shape. Drive to Zion via tunnels is terrific. Great diner-type restaurant and very hot Jacuzzi. Nice staff.
