- “The only place worth staying at near Zion NP is the Zion Lodge INSIDE Zion NP. Bookings have to be made way in advance, and it's quite basic and expensive, but you're staying in the park...” 4
- “And again, very nice decorations. It's very nice, very clean. We were very happy with it.” On camera38:03
- “The check-in process was quick, and the front desk associate was friendly.” 4
- “Apart from some food and beverage provision, there's nothing limited about it. This place clearly has a strong offering for the price charged, and as you never use 90% of the facilities at the places you stay anyway, it being limited service is kind of irrelevant.” 4
- “They even took the coffee down as soon as the clock struck 9. They also managed to screw up my billing and had what looked like high schoolers working the front desk.” 4
- “The location was great, the rooms were tastefully decorated (as far as limited service properties go), and the hotel had a nice lobby, pool, and gym, along with friendly staff.” 4
- “I'd recommend the Holiday Inn next door, similar views and I had super friendly and helpful staff on my last stay.” 4
- “And another great thing is when we did check in the staff were fantastic. You know it was excellent. They were, you know, very receptive to anything we had wanted.” 3
- “Light. You walk in and there's a bathroom. With a closet. Plenty of space.” 14
- “The West Elm sofa bed is really nice for families. Not those terrible and uncomfortable sofa beds you find everywhere.” 4
- “Tons of lighting, tons of outlets by the bed. Although the one downside is there is only one outlet here as you can see only one outlet but there are outlets I believe on this No on this side.” On camera39:06
- “But again, it's great. We love the room. Tons of lighting, tons of outlets by the bed.” On camera39:02
- “My wife and I plus our dogs stayed at the springhill suites at zion. We had an executive suite on the bottom floor which was spacious.” 4
- “So again, you have a nice desk here with all the outlets you can need. As you can see, we have a bunch of them.” On camera36:41
- “And then you have a closet down there. But again, very comfortable. The beds are great.” 3
- “We stayed at this hotel last year over thanksgiving and I had a nice chat with the owners family who were staying there for the holiday. Certainly one of the nicer options in Springdale, though the room layout was a little unusual.” 4
- “And yeah, very large, huge space, plenty of room for two teenagers and two adults.” On camera310:41
- “Wifi in the room was fast and free.” 4
- “The room was great - it was spacious, and I appreciated how interesting the design was. Usually Hyatt Place is my favorite limited service brand, but the rooms are so bland, with off-white walls that have barely any decorations. By comparison I loved the amount of color in the room.” 4
- “First off there seem to be very little insulation between floors, it sounded like we had a dance company upstairs causing the dogs to bark.” 4
- “airfield. You got lucky with your breakfast, I stayed at the Springhill Glen Allen, VA and all I got was a pre packaged muffin. They even took the coffee down as soon as the clock struck 9.” 4
- “Under pre-COVID circumstances, I found the breakfast to be a step up from Fairfield and two steps up from Towne Place Suites and free-unlike Courtyard.” 4
- “@ Anthony -- Fair point, I changed it to "not great," which is probably more fair. More than anything the breakfast just seemed wasteful. They give you a bag and don't tell you what the contents are. For example, I don't eat pork, so I didn't have the breakfast sandwich, and I hate wasting food, in particular meat.” 4
- “The breakfast was not great, in my opinion, but I also totally recognize the challenges hotel face, and how quickly they've had to adapt.” 4
- “The breakfast was great. Every morning you could grab eggs, sausages, toast, bagels, and waffles.” On camera34:52
