Americas Best Value Inn & Suites – Bryce Valley Inn

We stayed for 2 nights during our road trip to Bryce. I was a little taken aback when they said here is your $ 5.00 breakfast vouchers and you can use it at the store next door. It was advertised as having a hot breakfast and I deliberately chose hotels with hot breakfast for our road trip. We saw a restaurant on our drive over to our room and assumed we could use our voucher there. NOPE only good for the store. The tiny grocery store did not have much to offer so we bought cereal breakfast, juices and fruit to take to our room.
We stayed in the middle building on the bottom floor. You take a large step INTO your room (very odd). Room was plenty big enough, had the separate vanity from the toilet and bath (which I like). However, upon setting my things down on the bed I noticed the turn down throw had several long and short curly blonde hairs all over it. Looked at the bed, didn’t see anything so just took it and flipped off the hairs. All gone!
Very noisy hotel since the walls are thin but we were so tired, we didn’t really care once we knocked out. You will hear early morning risers slamming doors since it’s manual closing style and walkers upstairs if you are on the bottom floor.
PROs:
Affordable
Nice laundry facility
Ice machine
Fridge, coffee maker, microwave, TV
Large table (not part of the TV stand)
Friendly, helpful staff
Close to park
CONs:
Slow internet (but it was free)
No hot breakfast as advertised
Noisy
It’s conveniently located about 4 miles from the park. Drive is easy and comes with a view. If you want fancy go somewhere else. If you want a decent place to stay for a great price this is the place. I would stay here again.

Noisy & Bad Housekeeping
We were in room 123 in the back building and the staircase to the upper rooms was right behind the headboard of the bed. We got to enjoy everyone clomping up and down the stairs. The walls and floors are thin and poorly reinforced so you head every step people took down the halls as well.
One thing that really surprised us was that the hotel advertised breakfast included, but what they do is give each person a $ 5 voucher for the grocery store next door! We tried to make the best of it and had some fun with it but unreality we purposely booked hotels on our trip that had breakfast included. Sadly the grocery did not have much to offer in the way of a healthy breakfast so we opted to buy other items with our vouchers and went to the espresso bar down the street which was wonderful.
Housekeeping had a lot to be desired, the windows were very dirty and we were on the ground floor for no excuse for them not being clean. We stayed 2 nights and when we returned to our room we couldn’t believe how poorly housekeeping had made up the room. The bed looked like they just threw the covers up and tossed the pillows back on the bed. See pic I posted.
If we are ever in the area again we will definitely not stay here, there are much better options.

OUR EXPERIENCE:
Several of us crew members stayed here a couple nights after backpacking in the Paria in northern Arizona and before heading home. It seemed fairly central to the areas of our next adventures in Escalante and Bryce.
Reservations for Hiking SisTa, fellow hiker, and I was made online prior to our arrival, which make checking in easy peasy. At check-​in we were given key cards and comp tickets for breakfast at the eatery next door.
Our room was equipped with two queen sized beds, a/​c, flat screen TV, small fridge, tub/​shower combo with toilet with a door, and a counter with sink, separate from the wash room, as well as a blow dryer, iron and board, extra blankets and pillows. The room was clean and the water pressure was nice and strong, which was greatly appreciated and needed after being away from civilization on a three day backpacking trip.
SisTa and I love it when the sink is outside the room with the shower. It makes getting ready so easy since one person can shower while the other one is dressing and brushing. Having three people in one room makes having that separation all that more convenient.
With backpacks and suitcases neatly-​ish dispersed about the room, the cleaning service did a very respectable job of preparing our room seem even more organized and clean while we were out and about trekking around.
Even though this Inn is on the main drag, we had a pleasant experience during our stay, no traffic noise to speak of and no bothersome neighbors. In addition, it was walking distance to the General Store, restaurant, and Leader of The Crew’s favorite type of eatery… pizza.
The morning of our departure, I woke up super early to walk around the hood. What a cute little town. There are houses with detached barns, white picket fences around a nicely groomed front lawn, cars parked in garages, and roosters welcoming another beautiful day.
Centrally located, on the main drag, clean, close to eateries, and a general store, worked for us and hope it will work for you, should you venture into this area.

So much better than I expected. The bathrooms have been recently remodeled, the furniture is newer, and the air conditioning works great. They have a no vacancy sign, yet I hear nothing from any other room. If you want a fancy lobby and tons of amenities, you won’t find them here, but if you want a comfortable night’s sleep while exploring Bryce, this is your place.

Pleasantly surprised, friendly staff, laundry, free breakfast and a quiet room.
The room itself as an odour, but once you open the window its fine. The internet is a bit slow but it was sold out so not surprising.
Other the that its pretty good value for money. A fridge would be nice but at this price and so close to Bryce canyon we can’t complain.

I was driving to Bryce Canyon and got delayed due to bad weather. I tried calling them several times between 10 and 10:30 PM and nobody answered the phone. Their website doesn’t list any after hours number and there was no way to find out if I would be let in if I drove there. Due avoid getting stranded, I ended up booking another hotel on the way.
I think they need to let their customers know that they will be checked-​in even if they arrive late, or post some information on the hours beyond which they would consider the client as a no-​show. At the least, an after hours number would have been useful. I tried calling the hotel after the trip and the receptionist was refusing to understand my situation. She would not let me talk to the manager and told me that she cannot tell me when her manager would be in.

I was staying 2 nights for an event. It is nice to have a store next door and they provides good breakfast. However, I have main concern of cleanliness of the room. When I walked in 1^st night, I found some hair on bathroom floor, I thought to myself, since this is not a 5 star hotel, don’t expect too much. I was wrong. Next evening when I return my arms started getting very itchy. I thought it may be allergic reaction but later I look under the baseboard and pillows, I FOUND SOME BEDBUGS!!! I called the front desk and explained the situation. They apologized and refunded my stay. I wound recommend looking to stay somewhere unless u have no option. My arms and necks are now more swollen as a result for these bites.

Stayed for 3 nights, looking for an inexpensive place with breakfast included.
Pros: decent pricing, friendly and eager staff who wants to keep customers happy, approx. 15min from Bryce Canyon, breakfast included (restaurant next door).
Cons: breakfast consists of a minor selection of items (e.g 1 bagel, 1 scrambled egg, 1 coffee, 2 slices bacon), insulation of our room was poor and it got very cold during the night, bathrooms fairly old with «wear and tear»
Recommendation:
Yes. Browsing for an inexpensive place to stay, this was our deal. We were open to accept some imperfections.
Knowing about the odd breakfast policy out of other reviews, we prepared ourselves. We brought some fruits (apples, bananas) to get a balanced breakfast. The pancakes were the best deal regarding the size. The breakfast itself was tasty and when we asked for a coffee refill, they did it without hesitation.
There was also the option to order regular breakfast out of the menu for decent pricing.

It might have been the stark contrast to the awful Super 8 I stayed in the night before, but I was blown away by this place.
Well it wasn’t out of this world, BUT, it was clean, spotless in fact, and the beds were well presented and comfortable.
Included breakfast had plenty of options and the dining area was very homely.
Definitely recommend.
Fridge and microwave in the room.

Not a bad place to stay for weary travelers but it’s far from the Hilton or even holiday inn. They could stand to replenish the towels because ours were clean but badly stained. The toilet didn’t flush the best and the shower temp got slightly above warm. But the hotel served it’s purpose and I slept good. Restaurant next door offers free breakfast to all travelers staying here and the food is great. Only qualms would be they wouldn’t let you get ice for your cooler, no matter the size of the cooler and the towels. A dirty hiker can make due with water temps and pesky toilet handles.

Comfortable bed and excellent breakfast, but this place is in the middle of no where and everything closes at 8pm.

Really nice staff and decent room. Breakfast is at the restaurant next door. The only problem is, their internet is not avail. The owner is aware that when the Inn is full, (as it will be in the summer months) that they can’t handle the number of users. The poor staff has to deal with irate customers and the owner’s too cheap to do anything about it. Internet was imperative even though I was on vacation and they failed to provide what they advertised.

I thought this hotel was pretty good. It’s way above average for the desert west anyway.
The restaurant to which it is attached has very decent food, even for snobby Californians like me. A tasty steak, real veggies, potato for under $ 20, count me in. Good beer too. Don’t let anyone tell you Utah doesn’t have beer– they do, it’s just not in the grocery store. The free breakfast (with a room) was not as stellar, but it’s free. Still a step up from packaged donuts and gas station coffee, so I’m not complaining. The pancakes were the best option, they’re hot and tasty.
The rooms are basic but spacious, clean and updated. The TV and plumbing are a little noisy, but they work. The WiFi works well (they have multiple AP’s to cover the whole place), which is more important to me than the TV.
Layout is 2 story, so it’s a good idea to decide if you prefer a smoking/​hangout area (downstairs rooms have chairs and ashtrays out on the porch!) or a quieter room on top when you reserve a room. We utilized the outside area quite a bit in the afternoons, but at night someone was stomping around above us with their new running shoes. Tough call.
It’s about 5 miles from Tropic to the park. It’s a pretty drive, and you’re driving to Bryce anyway. For the money, you’re not going to beat this place. Tropic is a friendly and clean little town, definitely worth stopping in.

Better Rates Than Ruby’s
My girlfriend and I had the option of booking at Ruby’s for a premium, or for a cheaper rate here for a couple days while we hiked in Bryce. Place was decent, what you would expect from a typical hotel room. We ended up having to book a room for a night at Ruby’s at the tail-​end of the trip because our rental car was stuck there which cost us much more, but otherwise we couldn’t complain.
ROOM TIP: Ask for a room on the ground floor if you have alot of luggage. the place has only 2 floors but there are no elevators.

Tropic, Zwischenziel zu den Nationalparks. Motel war sauber, Frühstück Pancakes, wer’s mag. Nichts besonderes, aber war in Ordnung.

My girlfriend and I were planning on coming to Tropic to see Bryce Canyon, and called after 9 pm that night to find out if there was a room available. There was no phone number on Unilocal,and the number we were able to find on Google apparently goes to a central booking service for the chain. They told us that there was a room for us and made us a reservation.
When we got to the hotel, the lobby was closed. No surprise, it’s a hotel in a small town. However, despite the sign outside saying «We’d be happy to accommodate you after hours, please call either of these phone numbers, and please feel free to use this phone mounted on the wall outside,» with the name of the proprietor, it was impossible to reach her. We tried both numbers for several minutes, and both just went immediately to voice mail.
So we tried the reservation line again, and they had us hold while they tried to reach the proprietor for several minutes — also with no luck. Then they complained that we hadn’t «requested a late check-​in» on making the reservation. Well, perhaps not: we’d called after the lobby was already closed and mentioned that we were driving in from another state. But, no, we hadn’t used the magic words «late check-​in,» although I think that figuring out whether that’s necessary should be the reservation-taker’s responsibility, not ours.
Ultimately, we had to give up and go down the street to another hotel. Pretty disappointing.

Where is this place… as you approach it, it looks a little bit scary, especially at night time. The parking lot is a gravel parking lot. But once you go into the small hotel lobby, the staff there is really friendly. The 2^nd floor room we got looks like it was just remodeled. It had the smell of a new home and the room turned out to be quite comfortable. There was only one chair in the room though unless you want to bring in the one from outside. Towels must have been close to being new. The wifi didn’t work so well especially if your room is further away from the hotel lobby.
Right next door is a grocery store, restaurant, and gas station. Very convenient, but it is about 10 – 15 minutes away from the Bryce Canyon park entrance. Also, there’s no swimming pool.
If price isn’t an object, I would rather stay closer to the park.

Got this place for $ 40 per night for two nights in late November. If you’re going to Bryce Canyon, this is probably the lowest priced option that’s also decent. You need to drive about 10 more minutes than if you stay at the Best Western Grand Hotel. For the extra 10 minutes of driving, you probably save about $ 20 — 30 per night, which is good for me. Thus, the 5 stars are because of the price. The only drawback is that the parking lot is not paved, so you are driving on a bunch of gravel.
There’s also a grocery store and a restaurant next door. I was able to get some decent stuff to pack for lunch at the grocery store in the morning.
Free, decently working Wifi is a big plus.

I was looking for a good place to stay during a recent trip to Bryce with my boyfriend, and this place fit the bill. In doing my research for the trip, this place had the cheapest rates and had good reviews on this fine web site, so I decided to book a room. We weren’t disappointed.
Yeah, it’s pretty no frills. Not much in the way of amenities, the TV is small, the sink is right there in the room, etc. But, you know, it’s not like you’re going to hang out much in the room when you’re visiting Bryce Canyon. Besides, the bed was comfortable, they have free wi-​fi, the front desk staff is super nice, and with your stay you get a coupon for 30% off your breakfast at Clarke’s, the super tasty restaurant next door. What more do you need?
I expect I’ll be staying here again on my next trip to Bryce Canyon.

Not bad for a motel. Extremely affordable and pretty close to Bryce Canyon National Park. 5 of us spent a night here (2 queens and roll away) for about $ 55.
Pluses: large room, provided extra amenities (shampoo, towels, soap) when asked. good heater, decent TV channel selection, wifi (though the signal was not very strong)
Cons: Bathroom could have used a little better ventilation, beds were a little lumpy/​soft, so my back hurt waking up the next morning
I’d come back because of the location and price.

This is NOT a four star hotel, but a really excellent 2 – 3 star hotel. We stayed here for two nights on a recent trip to Bryce. The room was very large and comfortable. The amenities were nice — shampoo, lotion, soap. The towels here were nicer than some 4 – 5 star hotels I’ve been at! Decent cable channels, including HBO.
If you can’t stay IN Bryce — or if you are looking for a place central to exploring Bryce, Escalante, etc — this is a good choice.
It’s about 20 minutes to the park entrance from here. The Mossy Cave Trail (part of Bryce) is between this motel and the park and worth checking out!

Kleines und schönes Motel.
Sehr, sehr ruhig. Schön zum Zwischenstopp um den Bryce Canyon zu besuchen.
