Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and drawbacks. The rooms were excellent, with a very nice porch, although a bit cold due to tricky heating controls. The location was great for my travels to Zion and the surrounding area, although a bit too dark at night for easy navigation. The dining experience was super yummy but limited due to a power outage. The service was a bit lackluster, with a focus on making money rather than customer care.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was beautiful, surrounded by nature, but it was quite dark at night, making it hard to find my way around. The service was a mixed bag, with some helpful staff but others not so customer-oriented. The dining experience was delightful and really set me up for the day. However, the room lacked a view, had some unexpected ant visitors, and was not up to the standard I expected, feeling more like a budget motel room.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with king size beds, a big bathroom, and a neat gas wood-burning stove controlled by the thermostat. The service was welcoming and accommodating, although there were some initial hiccups at reception. The location is ideal for accessing Zion National Park and is close to nature and animal sanctuaries. The dining experience was exceptional for dinner but lacked the same appeal for breakfast.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms, while in need of a makeover, were perfect for sharing meals and spending time together. The service was top-notch, with staff addressing any concerns quickly. The location, despite ongoing construction, was ideal for exploring the area and enjoying nature. The dining options were delicious but slightly pricey. Overall, a great value for a memorable experience.
