Canyons Lodge

We visited Zion and were planning a visit to the Slot Canyon the next day so stayed the night at Canyons Lodge. The stay was very pleasant and our friends traveling with us were especially delighted. Our visit was on a Monday night. We are from Henderson/​Las Vegas, who would have thought every restaurant in Kanab would be closed. The fellow at the front desk who checked us in (saved our butts) perhaps used his influence and made us reservations at the Rocking V Café (perhaps nicest place in town.) We say used his influence because we had to rush down and then they told everyone who walked in the door after us there is a two hour wait. The next morning we were treated to a fresh buffet breakfast across the street at the Canyons Hotel. And when i say breakfast, i mean breakfast, not sweet rolls and coffee. The room we had was a bit small for my tastes but it was clean, quaint and just an overnight so no problem. The bed was comfortable, the tv worked and they had robes if you so desired. An especially nice touch was a «Welcome/​Thank You card on the bed which was personally addressed to us… nice touch. Even though it was cold in the morning, my wife enjoyed the outside seating areas while sipping a cup of coffee. I would most certainly stay at Canyons Lodge again should the opportunity present itself.

The hotel is cute, the restaurant was excellent, but the walls are thin! Stayed on the second floor and I could literally hear the phone at the front desk ringing. This wasn’t such a big deal. But if your upstairs neighbors are up yelling and running at 4:00 AM it is! Called the front desk multiple times, but no one answered. An employee finally showed up at 7:00 AM, but by that time you’ve already lost a night of sleep. If your neighbors are polite this place would be fine, but there’s no guarantee of that and no way to lodge a noise complaint while it’s actually happening. Somehow after all that the manager didn’t offer to comp the room.

This review is for the Restaurant at the Lodge. I have a few suggestions for this place… Theater /​step style levels. Instead of two levels the prime seats are by the windows which allow these lucky few to see the pristine area in a panoramic style restaurant, to maximize space they should have leveled style seating each level high enough as to allow everyone the same view. The food is actually just meh, I have had better food at local bars. You are going to pay for the meal, 4 star restaurant prices at 2 star flavor. The saloon is fun for drinks and hanging out but is quite small. The gift shop has nick nacks all over, for the compulsive shopper. I would recommend stopping by if you have the change and if you are camping here then I’m sure you can whip up a can of chili and a hot dog and it would taste better… save your money

We had a great stay here! Stopped here for one night after Grand Canyon trip. Well ran boutique hotel with great personality! Not a cookie cutter hotel and we really enjoyed it!

Checked in March 29 and saw we had a clean room at a quaint roadside motel. Found we needed towels for two not one. My friend called the desk and the line was busy — oh well. I brought my own towels so I used them. Didn’t sleep very well first night, even though the bed felt so soft and cozy. Morning breakfast was too early for us since we were headed to the Wave, so the lady prepping for breakfast was very helpful in finding out about us picking up something at McDonald’s which was opening later than posted. So we waited for McDonald’s to open over a cup of the Inn’s coffee — excellent, by the way. After we came back the next afternoon from the Wave, my friend called the desk for more towels several times and the line was busy. She then called from her cell phone and got through. We found out the phone in our room did not work! My friend walked across the street to the Victorian lobby and told the person at the desk. Person later brought us the towels and an extra blanket because my friend felt cold the night before from a draft. The gentleman made a jester that we didn’t get new towels because of the «Do Not Disturb» sign we had on the doorknob but we told him we didn’t have the towels initially when we checked in and were too tired to get what we needed. In addition, I never like anyone in my room during any of my hotel stays, even the Marriott. Also said we would reuse the towels if we had them so as not to waste. Well, the next morning as we were packing to leave I realized I was sleeping with my feet higher than my head — bed was not level! No wonder. Again, another terrible night’s sleep in Room 15 on the interior bed. My friend’s bed was level. This is a clean renovated roadside motel. It would have been acceptable for me if it didn’t expect something like a resort when I checked them out online.

Very nice place to stay with quaint accommodations. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they had had amenities that you just don’t find anywhere else, such as free bike rentals to use riding around town. The Wi-​Fi was a bit slow but rarely is there a place with great internet. Breakfast was great with a full breakfast available next door.
My only complaint is that the building is located off of the main highway and traffic noise was high, waking me up a few times in the night. Aside from this we had a wonderful stay.

Stayed here while volunteering at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Motel was clean and very nice. The staff was helpful and the free breakfast a great surprise. Would definitely stay here again!!!

I am going to give this place a great review, and we did not even actually stay here! And here is why — I made the reservation for Canyons Lodge quite a while ago and I chose a single queen room for our five night stay. Great price and yet when we checked in the owner questioned me about our needs due to the length of our stay and the size of the room. So we went an checked it out and he WAS right, it was quite small. It would be fine for an overnight, but for what we had planned as a four night stay we simply would have not been comfortable. My fault, totally, based on the bed size and not the room size. But, here is the great part. He did not have any real options for me at Canyons Lodge so he managed to flip me over into a beautiful, and significantly larger, room at the Colonial Inn right next door (same ownership) and credited me with the early booking and cash discounts so that, while I did pay a little extra for the room, it was totally worth it and a great value. His other option? Hey, I rented the room based on the picture and I could easily have been stuck with it. Because of his straightforward attitude, helpful nature and honest approach he made our five days in Kanab a memorable experience. And I will come back again.

Great place to stay! It felt more like spending the night in a guest house than staying at a hotel. Travis is super friendly. Great atmosphere. Breakfast included. Only complaint was that the wifi was a weak. I’d stay here again for sure!

This place was absolutely wonderful. My girlfriend and I were visiting SLC from Tucson and stopped here on our drive back since it was about half-​way. The staff was all incredibly friendly, including helping us find places to eat and letting us know about things to do in the area. The bed was very comfortable and the room was a good size. Breakfast in the morning included pastries, fruit, and juice, which was all delicious! The only downside is that the wifi was a little temperamental, but since we were just there for one night it wasn’t really an issue. We’re definitely planning to go back sometime!

We have stayed at this motel many times. The owners are always very hospitable and really make you feel welcome. In the olden days, hotel customers were called guest
You are truly guests here. In the the older section the rooms are very small but are very nice and uniquely decorated. Give this place to try for sure … you’ll be happy

My bf and I were welcomed by the warm and likeable Travis when we arrived. We were offered glasses of red wine (yum!) and Travis offered to make dinner reservations for us and gave us some great suggestions. He’s very customer service oriented in a big city sort of way, not in the small town «oh it’s over there on the corner» sort of way.
Our room #1 had the signature red buttes bed and it was quite cute with a king sized bed, fridge, micro, two well-​worn robes in the bathroom, nice blanket hanging on the wall, cute décor. But it’s easy to tell that this was an old motel with the A/​C in the wall behind the bathroom door and the bathroom door tended to shut which left the bathroom very cold for some reason.
For Kanab I rate this a 5, relative to other hotels I’d give it a 3. So I averaged and rated it 4.

Had a very small room but booked last minute due to park closure change in plans so rate versus value not exemplary. The bed was so soft my back was killing me in the morning.
Get to breakfast early as even instant oatmeal was gone! Coffee was empty and typical low budget «continental breakfast» with mini muffins, supermarket bagels and croissants.
Stay if low on options only.

I stayed here in April, on a night when I was tired of all the camping I had been doing on my cross-​country drive. I thought I would just find a cheap motel, crash, and get up and go the next day.
Imagine my surprise when the little local place that I Unilocaled turned out to be such a delight! This place is an absolute gem, and at least this spring, it was a *cheap* gem! Clean, modern, stylishly-​decorated rooms; wine and cheese at happy hour; breakfast in the morning; and lovely owners/​hosts. Plus, they have several rooms that welcome pets! I would absolutely stay here again– and only here!– if I make my way through beautiful southern utah again.

Fantastic place to stay in Kanab. Extremely welcoming, right smack in the middle of town, clean rooms, awesome staff.
As long as prices stay reasonable, we will stay here every time we are in the area.
Don’t miss things in the area: North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Buckskin Gulch, The «Wave» (Coyote Buttes), Yellow Rocks, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

First time here with my family and was pleasantly surprised. The bed was so comfortable, the room was clean, and it was nice to have the small appliances in the room. I found the place under Purpleroofs since I find it important to stay in places that are welcoming to same-​sex couples. I will stay at this property again in the future when I take the trek to Bryce and the Grand Canyon.

This is the same review that I posted under the old name, Bön-​Bön, now «Canyons Lodge.» I recently spent one night here in room #4 which is in the one-​story extension from the office. This room is «cozy» sized and space at the foot of the bed is tight, same with the shower. But they manage to fit in a mini-​fridge and microwave. Great amenities and service at this price level, clean & comfortable bedding. Loved having the bathrobe! The welcome includes an offer of water bottle or wine, a friendly host, and generous supply of in-​room coffee. I enjoyed the free breakfast items offered in lobby, boiled eggs, fruit, nice bakery items OJ, coffee, real milk. Wifi in room but it kept dropping off. It’s a little hard to find at the north end of town next to the Victorian Inn. The price for the small rooms is very reasonable.
One thing I really liked was that you prepay on line when you reserve, and there is no paperwork to deal with on check out. (Kind of like Motel 6.) There was a discount available using a link on the Tripadvisor site.

Great stay! Beautiful view from our 2^nd floor room! Clean, welcoming environment. Yummy bedding. Staff is lovely! Thank you!
