No breakfast! Good information from staff about the area and it’s nuances

Carol United States of America

Gorden went out of his way to see that we had everything we needed. This is an excellent location to access Zion and Bryce parks

Ostrum United States of America

The staff was so incredibly helpful…went out of their way to make our stay comfortable (brought us a microwave, gave me some laundry soap). So kind!

Laura United States of America

Really good restaurant. Location and access to eastern entrance is terrific - much better than the "main" entrance because of the drive in.

Beaverlake United States of America

This hotel is right at the entrance to highway 9 in MT. Carmel. The drive into Zion is beautiful and takes you through the tunnel. The staff at the hotel are so kind and helpful and make you feel like family. The beds were surprisingly extremely comfortable. The restaurant has good food.

Debbie United States of America

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and answered questions and took the time to listen and meet our needs.

Shawn United States of America

Clean property, comfortable rooms, friendly and accommodating staff - what’s not to like!

Ines United States of America

Pros: Friendly staff, comfy beds, refrigerators in rooms, outdoor jacuzzi tub was plenty hot and available late in the tourist season (late October).

Latonia United States of America

So quiet and peaceful. Rooms are big. Has a lodge feel. The staff are so friendly.

Mary United States of America

They do not have breakfast. You should correct that on the site. You have to go into the restaurant and buy your own.
