My single bed room!
Jared W.

A breath of fresh air for the wary traveler! I stopped by the Cowboy Bunkhouse about a month ago to get some rest after a long day of traveling and exploring. Normally, during regular season, the Cowboy Bunkhouse is a happening place for travelers and adventurers of all kinds. When I came though, I happened to be one of the only people in the whole hostel that night! The hostel is a converted school which has seen a few different uses over the past years. The owners wanted to make it a place that would be a tribute to the true cowboys and had fashioned the look and feel to reflect that. Pretty cool! My room was clean and had a passcode lock on the door to keep things safe (not that they needed to be). It was clean and just what I needed to get a good nights sleep. They provided a towel and even some soap for when I took a shower. The kitchen was also clean and everything in there was in good usable condition. I ended up cooking a giant meal to be eaten over the proceeding days. Very satisfied in that department! Even on departure they provide coffee and snacks to get your day started right. JoAnn and her husband really know how to treat their customers right! Overall, this place is awesome and I look forward to the next time I stop by. You will not be disappointed.

Cliff Dwellers Lodge - Inside the renovated double queen room

Cliff Dwellers Lodge

Stayed a few nights here in August on both ends of a rafting/camping trip through the Grand Canyon…read more I had an excellent stay both times - very comfortable and clean rooms, wonderfully warm staff, decent prices, and an incredible location inside the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument! It's a bit of a remote location (which I loved) but the lodge has everything you could possibly need - a really great on-site restaurant, general store, gas station, and they even do their own guided fishing trips and kayak rentals complete with backhaul drop offs to a launch point of your choice. And even though you're a bit of a captive audience, their prices are surprisingly pretty reasonable - even for the gas! The lodge is currently split into two sections - one has been recently renovated and one hasn't. I stayed in a double queen room in the renovated section and a single king room in the non-renovated section. Both rooms were spotlessly clean and very cozy - but I definitely prefer the renovated rooms - simply because they have a superior bathroom layout/shower - The shower in the non-renovated room was very rudimentary- almost like one you'd find in an RV - and there was very little counterspace. And the TVs include an option to log into your streaming apps to watch your fave shows. But the beds were both very comfortable in both rooms - the mattresses felt very supportive but not overly hard - seemed like temperpedic quality. The decor in the renovated rooms is very desert-cowboy-chic - but the non-renovated room was super retro - more like a 70s spaghetti western style lol. There are refrigerators and Keurig coffee makers in all the rooms - renovated and non-renovated alike. All the rooms have outside patio seating but it's not private. I was next to the restaurant in the non-renovated room and was worried it might be too loud but I didn't hear a thing - it was peaceful and quiet! Speaking of the restaurant- the food is absolutely fantastic! I ate two dinners here and a breakfast and loved it all. They also have a unique dessert - avocado pie! Highly recommend! Everything here is family owned and all the staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and fully intend to return bc there's SO much to explore in the area - especially if you love the desert outdoors!

By far the best aspect of the lodge was the guide we hired to help us fish Lees Ferry. His name was Shane and he was incredibly experienced. It was my first time fly fishing and he taught me to cast, mend, and set the hook. We caught more fish before noon than I did on my last fishing trip. Shane knew every spot to visit to get the trout biting. The food at the lodge was also incredible. I ate one of the best patty melts I've had and the breakfast burritos hit the spot before a fishing trip. I also can't give the sweet potato fries high enough praise. They had the perfect amount of crunch and salt I look for in a fry with that same sweet potato taste. If you stop in; try the avocado pie! The lodge is absolutely worth a visit. Stay a night, try out the restaurant, try to book Shane if you can, and fish until your arm gets tired!

I had such high hopes for this b and b after reading the reviews and seeing photos online, but…read moreunfortunately it was a disappointment. It was not made clear during the reservation process that Room 3 does not have a standard shower. Instead, it has a claw-foot tub with a handheld shower head that must be held while showering, or the tub can be used for bathing. I believe this should be clearly disclosed so guests can make an informed decision before booking. The description of "European style shower" does not make it clear that you cannot take an actual shower in the room. We actually wound up getting passes for the Zion canyon hot springs just so we could shower during our stay. I understand this is a historic inn, but that does not eliminate the expectation of basic accommodations, such as a functioning toilet seat and an adequate supply of toilet paper. When we checked in, the toilet seat was cracked, and there was only a half roll of toilet paper provided. I messaged to ask where I could find more, and I was told someone would bring it that evening. By 9:00 p.m., nothing had arrived, so I followed up and asked whether I should go to a nearby store to purchase toilet paper and a replacement toilet seat, since the one in our room was broken. The owner/manager called me and said, "I didn't realize this was such a crisis for you." I found that response unnecessarily dismissive, rude, and unprofessional. He also told me the toilet seat would not be repaired during our stay, but then explained where I could find additional toilet paper myself. I was disappointed that this information was not provided when I first asked several hours earlier. The following day, the toilet seat was replaced. I guess although he didn't think it was a "crisis", he did realize having a functioning toilet seat was important. The inn has historic charm, but the property appears run down and in need of better maintenance. It is possible to preserve the character of a historic building while still keeping the infrastructure and basic amenities up to standard. This place has a great deal of potential, but in its current condition and with the current level of management, it does not meet the expectations of a 3-, 4-, or 5-star stay. The highlight of our visit was leaving the inn to eat breakfast at Oscar's. The food was delicious and this was the best part of our stay. There is no one consistently on site to assist with issues that arise during a stay, no traditional check-in or check-out process, and no one actively monitoring the property. Unfortunately, the combination of poor communication, dismissive management, and the lack of basic amenities resulted in a disappointing experience. I would not recommend staying here.

We stopped by Jacob Lake Inn on the way to Kanab after hearing about their famous cookies. This was…read moreon a Sunday in mid April and it wasn't crowded at all, with perhaps only another 5 parties or so in the store. Since our visit was during the off season, they unfortunately only had four types of cookies to choose from - apparently during the summer they have 16 different varieties! While we didn't have that amazing selection, the employee did tell us that they cookies in the tray were less than an hour from the oven! We ended up trying one of each (4 for $8.46): Chocolate Chip Cookie - This cookie has a golden brown ring around the edge and the bottom. It has a delicate crunch along the more well baked portions, but the interior remains soft and gooey. Especially the semisweet chocolate chips, which at only an hour after removal from heat, are still melty. The center of the cookie tastes under baked like raw flour with a somewhat granular and sandy texture. Chocolate Parfait - This is a tall cookie that doesn't seem to spread. It looks more like a small scone or biscuit to be honest. It's quite wan in color, so there's no particular baked crust. Instead, the entire thing is soft and tender, but it's not under baked like the chocolate chip cookie since it all tastes baked through. It's absolutely stuffed with large pieces of Belgian milk chocolate, and like the other cookie, the chocolate is still melted and gooey. Oatmeal Raisin - This cookie has the hardest bake with a darker golden brown bottom creating a great crunch. It's otherwise filled with oats and studded with plenty of sweet raisins. Snickerdoodle - This cookie is surprisingly yellow in color. It has the same chewy and tender texture throughout and tastes like a sugar cookie with cinnamon. I do have to say that all the cookies were super sweet. So sweet I had to drink an entire bottle of water afterwards. I drank more water after the cookies than a 5 miles hike the previous day. Way too sweet for my tastes, but I'm sure most people will be okay with that! Bathrooms - Two larger ones with multiple stalls

There is an old but working AC unit and a mini-fridge. No hair dryer or coffee machine though. They have dish TV with HBO but the reception was ""snowy". It was super windy so maybe that caused it? There is an awesome restaurant that has yummy homemade pie. Other people raved about the prime rib but I don't usually eat that so can't testify to that but we had French toast and biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Good! Remember you are out in the middle of nowhere, flat and dry. The place looks like crap from the road but is a reliable, inexpensive place to save. We spent most of our time hiking and sightseeing anyway.

We've been paying around $200 a night near other parks and this room cost us only $80. Granted, you get what you pay for. The room is pretty bare but everything was clean. There is a mini-fridge, a hair-dryer (new), a mounted TV, table and chair, AC/heating unit, and full walk-in closet. The staff is small -- by that I mean that the restaurant waitress also checked us in. She even let us do an early check-in. The wifi is actually really good. They gave us a password for the protected wifi which didn't work, but they have free, fast-speed non-password protected wifi. I'll be honest, the outside looks really terrible. But it's clear that right now, they're in the middle of some construction and are attempting to make some improvements. Walking inside, we were all much more comfortable as it looks like a regular low-budget hotel or motel. No bugs or anything like that, pretty normal. It's so conveniently located near the park and for anyone who is going to spend most of their time outside of their room and at the park anyway, this is a good bargain.

Check-in felt a bit like standing in a slow car rental line. We waited about 15 minutes while a line formed behind us, and there was a form with disclaimers to sign before getting the room key. Our room was in Building 7. The rooms feel dated, and housekeeping seemed inconsistent. We had 2 bath towels, 2 makeup towels, and 1 hand towel, but no washcloths and no pool towels. The front desk said pool towels should be in the room, but there are none available at the pool itself. Our bathtub drain was clogged, so water pooled during showers, and one of the bed frames had something unpleasant on the fabric that clearly should have been cleaned. Amenities were also disappointing for a property charging a nightly resort fee. The hot tub jets were broken, the water wasn't warm, and it looked pretty dirty. The pools are not heated, so they were ice cold in April. Ironically, the hot tub appeared to finally start working the morning we checked out. Food options on site include the Driftwood Lounge, a breakfast deli, and the Rainbow Room for buffet and dinner (reservations required for dinner). The buffet was just okay -- next time I'd skip it and order an entrée instead. The hot & spicy wings at the lounge were decent. Overall, I gave it 3 stars because the staff were very kind and the views are fantastic. If we stayed again, we'd come with the expectation of enjoying the scenery rather than the amenities.

Disappointing Dining Experience and Poor Service at Lake Powell Resort…read more For two nights in a row, we have tried to enjoy a nice dinner at Lake Powell Resort, only to be told that the earliest available reservations were 8:15 or 8:45 PM. Apparently, the resort has approximately seven large tour buses arriving each evening, leaving regular hotel guests with very limited dining options. It's incredibly frustrating to pay to stay at a resort and not be able to enjoy dinner at a reasonable hour. Instead, we've been left eating leftovers because the restaurant cannot accommodate us until late in the evening. Unfortunately, the frustration doesn't end with dinner. The café opens at 6:00 AM, and this morning there were already eight or nine people waiting in line, with only one employee responsible for taking orders and preparing every coffee. I stood there for 25 minutes just trying to order a regular coffee and an Americano. During that time, I watched three people ahead of me give up and leave because they were tired of waiting. This is simply unacceptable for a resort of this size. If management knows they have multiple tour buses arriving and a large number of overnight guests, they should be staffing their restaurants and café accordingly. I understand that large tour groups bring in revenue, but what about the individual guests who are also paying to stay here? We deserve the same consideration and opportunity to enjoy the amenities we're paying for. Lake Powell itself is absolutely beautiful, but the dining experience and lack of adequate staffing have been extremely disappointing. A resort should be able to accommodate its guests without making dinner reservations nearly impossible and a simple morning coffee a 25-minute ordeal. Management really needs to rethink how it prioritizes guest service.
