We lodged at one of the establishment's two "treehouses" and it was a great experience! The food was prepared perfectly. On night one, my wife and I both had the mixed green salad and then the filet mignon. The meat was served perfectly medium rare as we requested. On night two, I had the halibut and it was to die for!! I am a chef and often hesitate ordering halibut because it is over-cooked and tough. This was moist and perfect. My sincere compliments to the team!! My wife had the chicken and she absolutely loved it. We only ate dessert one night and got the cheesecake. Holy cow! This was the tallest cheesecake we've ever seen but perfect! I make cheesecake fairly regularly and I give this a very high rating. But all you need is one piece for the two of you. You need to realize that Tropic is a town of about 500! The fact that this inn and restaurant exists and is producing the high quality that it is almost defies logic. Kudos to the owners and staff that make this happen regularly! If you are local, I hope you support this gem in your backyard. If you are passing through and appreciate a higher-end dining experience then this is a must visit.

    Check-in was rough. There was only one person working the front desk at 4pm, so we waited about 20…read moreminutes in line just to get our room key. The room itself was nice, clean, and cozy. The location was perfect for visiting Bryce Canyon. We could drive to the park in 10 to 20 minutes, which made it easy to catch sunrise, sunset, and stargazing while still having a comfortable place to come back to. Breakfast was great! The crib they provided us did not meet safe sleep guidelines. The mattress was too small for the crib, and it left a large 2 inch gap. Luckily my baby is older (13 months), so SIDS or suffocation is not as much of a concern anymore. But it is something to keep in mind. My biggest concern happened on our second night. We came back after sunset and stargazing, around 10:30pm. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. My baby was fussy while we were working through our bedtime routine. Just as he was finally drifting off, the front desk called and woke him right back up to tell me they'd gotten noise complaints and that we needed to be quiet during night hours. The woman rudely said "Quiet hours start at 10pm why aren't you being quiet?!" She treated us like belligerent partiers instead of a family with two small kids. When I explained that we have two babies and were doing our best, she still wasn't professional or empathetic about it at all. It honestly gave me a lot of anxiety because I was scared we would get kicked out for my baby crying whenever he made any noise. The hotel was not full, so maybe a room change to a more remote part of the hotel would have been appropriate. I have traveled with my kids many times before and never experienced something like that. There were many elderly guests staying around us, so maybe that contributed to the problem. Still, handling the issue with a little more understanding and grace would've gone a long way for me. Housekeeping could use a little work as well. I don't think they vaccuumed the floors our entire stay. With two little kids, there were some crumbs on the floor. By the time we left it was getting pretty bad and I didn't like my baby being on the floor because it was dirty. Overall the location is great and the rooms are nice, but management should think hard about how front desk staff are trained to handle situations involving families. I'd think twice before booking here again.

    I had almost booked Clear Sky Resort for the Stargazing dome view, but decided a shorter 4 minute…read moredrive to Bryce Canyon National Park to get there early before the crowds would be better since we only had one day there. The lobby has a super tall ceiling and a lodge-like feel, really fancy and modern. Plenty of parking. The breakfast included breakfast with a big buffet of scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with ham, pancakes, cereal, sausage, bacon, fruit, tater tots, breakfast muffins and donuts had much more choices than the Best Western we stayed at in at Springdale for Zion National Park. There is one elevator. Pay attention to the receptionist when they tell you the floor. Our room was 3461, and he said the 4th floor which seemed like a mistake until we got out on the 3rd floor and could not find our room. The second digit refers to the floor number. The first number refers to the building. Room was clean, comfortable, spacious and the bathroom vanity was long. There was an inexpensive Keurig machine. I successfully made my coffee, but my husband couldn't get the machine to turn on again even with wife help. Microwave in the room. Our mini-fridge was warm and fiddling with the temperature control didn't seem to start it up. I put those comments on my Best Western survey and the general manager responded and thanked me and said the problems would be addressed. The pool and hot tub are located in the center of the buildings, so it can be more shaded there in the afternoon. The park shuttle does not stop at this hotel but Ruby's Inn about 7 - 10 minutes walking. We drove the 0.5 miles for dinner there - Cowboy's Buffet and Steak Room. We got there about 5:40 pm and by 6:30 pm, it looked like a 30-45 minute line. When they run out of the ribs, you might be stuck eating the buffet or other menu choices. The ribs were good!

I wondered why I was treated so special but I later realized that I was the only guest during the weekdays. If you're thinking Bryce Valley Lodging may be perfect for your glamping desires, think again. These cabins are on the rustic side. My air conditioner struggled to keep up, my lampshade had a burn hole, the shower came with written instructions to turn on the water, and housekeeping isn't as good as it could be. All of that is just fine with me. At night, this town is dead quiet and stars in the sky shine brilliantly here. I'd definitely make Tropic and Bryce Valley Lodging my base during more visits to this area.

That was a complete lie! I did not cancel. I was traveling from out of state and was then left to figure out a place to stay the following night! I reached out to Expedia and they were able to also see that my booking was canceled, but no explanation was given. Expedia tried calling and I tried calling the office. Unfortunately, we were not able to get in contact with anyone at the site. Absolutely horrible experience and would not recommend!!!!

Someone had put up a note stating they would be back soon - but didn't say when. After arriving and unlocking the door, she made no, as in zero, apologies. The room looked like it had last be updated in the 1980's. The 24" TV (YES it's that small!) had no modern stations. Who doesn't offer cable at a minimum? Is a smart TV that expensive? The room was tiny and had no closet. We had to wait 30 minutes to eat at their restaurant. The wait got up to over 45 minutes. How does that make sense? They brag about their great restaurant and how convenient it is to be located on the property, but all evening there was a minimum 30-minute wait.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Bryce Pioneer Village. Only about 10 minutes from Bryce Canyon…read moreNational Park, it never felt far at all. Originally we tried to book the Lodge through the national park reservations system, but put this and a couple others as backups. Being that we only booked our trip about 3 weeks in advance, we got lucky with this place. We were a little tentative because of the reviews (thin walls, etc), but when we got here we were pleasantly satisfied. Has a very Campy feel to it; from the hexagon bench swing setup, to the mini bridges, the volleyball court, and the giant chess setup, it looks like a place we could stay a few days and just hang out without even going anywhere really. But I digress...we rather enjoyed our stay. There is a restaurant in the middle of the property where we had dinner one night. (Note, it can get pretty packed cuz looks like everyone eats there, esp with the live music going on, it's a good time). Check-in was easy, and even though the place is an old school cabin/lodge, they have new electronic keyfobs to get in and out of your room. Just don't forget it because the doors will automatically lock on you. We had to get a spare from the front desk once during our stay. The room was small, as to be expected; not much common space, just enough for your beds, luggage (not too much) and other small items. We kept most stuff in the car (You can park directly in front your cabin, space willing. There are separated cabins as well, but we didn't book far enough in advance. But we def paid a lot less than we would have at the Lodge or another place closer to the park. But again, it's like 11 minutes out, so not a big deal. The shower is a little small, but we made it work. We were able to sleep well, and though you can hear things, it wasn't not too bad and everyone seemed to be pretty respectful of each other and didn't cause too much noise. I did feel bad because I loaded the car up late at night and our car was facing the cabins directly and the headlights from our rental shone directly into one of the rooms, but I quickly turned them off and apologies and they were okay with it and understood. They also have RV spots and a couple were there during our stay, so it seemed fine for them as well.

Good - well priced, convenient location, front desk clerk was friendly and gave us a sack breakfast (since we would miss the actual breakfast due to leaving early). The rooms are basic but clean. Bad - I was double charged (the website I booked with charged me and the front desk clerk ran my card again). I didn't realize this until I checked my credit card statement two weeks later. I believe this was an honest mistake and this isn't the reason for the bad review. It's how it was handled filed later. I called the hotel at least 5 times to request a refund because 4 of the times no one picked up the phone and there was no answering machine. The lady told me to email the owner (the email is not published online), which I did and I included proof of the double charged. No action was taken even after I followed up via email. I had to do a credit card dispute which the hotel didn't respond to so my credit card company ended up refunding me. A lot of trouble and frustration to have to go through.

Even though we had a couple complaints (tv didn't work and no coffee in the room), it was overall a great deal for the price. The free breakfast was cereal, toast, bagels, yogurt, apples, tiny muffins, juice, coffee...which was better than most grab and go continental breakfasts. Front desk service was great too. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the tv issue.
