The verdict

Read it your way
Cliffrose Springdale sits along the Virgin River just 200 yards from the Zion National Park visitor center. The property excels with spacious riverside junior suites, walk-out patios framing dramatic cliff views, and oversized hot tubs. However, noise is a persistent complaint, as thin walls transmit footsteps from uncarpeted upstairs rooms and standard units pick up traffic from Zion Park Boulevard. 219118
Every line below traces back to something a traveler actually wrote — open a line to read the original sentence and follow it to the source.
What travelers noticed
- The location provides easy park access, sitting 200 yards from the visitor center with a shuttle stop right out front. 2722
- Guests consistently praise the views of the Virgin River, lush canyon walls, and the Watchman sandstone mountain from private balconies and patios. 2822
- Front desk agents and staff earn high marks for helpful service, including printing shuttle tickets and answering questions about navigating the park. 22
- The outdoor grounds stand out for their pool area and gigantic, oversized hot tubs. 47
The catch
- While some visitors appreciate updated bathrooms with marble counters and new vanities, others find the showers small and cramped enough that they have to tuck in their elbows. 16
- Reviewers disagree on the dining value, with some calling the food credit useful for reasonable menu prices while others report price increases mean it no longer covers breakfast for two. 119
Who it's for

- — Guests seeking private patios with direct Virgin River and canyon views
- — Travelers prioritizing oversized hot tubs after long days on the trails

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
Service4 mentions
- “The bathrooms are rather standard but have nice marble counters and environmentally-friendly toiletries.” 6
- “The service was fast, and the two waitresses remembered us the following day.” 1
- “The staff were top of the line across the board- check in, housekeeping, room service, lawn staff... everyone seemed to be happy to serve us and requests (K-cups, towels) were met within 5 minutes.” 17
- “I found the staff to be very helpful. This is all true for the DPInn also.” 7
Room18 mentions
- “Though some standard rooms are a tad small, there are also suites and villas (with multiple bedrooms and full kitchens and refrigerators instead of mini-fridges) available on this 50-room property as well.” 6
- “Capturing the allure of the sandstone cliffs outside, the room interiors at this hotel are decorated with a reddish-orange accent wall, plush furnishings, and rich colors.” 6
- “No upgrade available even though wife and I are both diamonds, but we had an amazing cliff view from our standard room as well.” 17
- “Riverside King Junior Suite (around 460 sq ft). 18 of these on the river side of the property. Walk-out patio facing the Virgin River, sleeper sofa for a kid, and the morning canyon light is worth every dollar.” 19
- “Each room has either a balcony or patio (typically overlooking the Virgin River), allowing for tranquil outside views of the grounds and majestic park beyond.” 6
- “Two-bedroom suites with spacious kitchens & living areas offer an ideal family set-up.” 9
- “(Note: The walls are on the thin side, so guests should opt for a second-floor room if possible.)” 22
- “The room was spacious. The living room and dining table had room for 6-8.” 17
- “Cliffrose aims to optimize the park-going experience in other ways, too: In the lobby, front-desk agents are happy to print out shuttle tickets and provide answers to questions about navigating the park.” 22
- “Imagine waking up to awe-inspiring views of Zion's towering cliffs and lush canyon walls, your private balcony or patio serving as a front-row seat to nature's grandeur.” 2
- “The room, the staff, the breakfast - all were exceptional.” 1
- “The Riverside hotel rooms have the best views, as you are able to hear the Virgin River from your private balcony or patio.” 8
- “While the room is compact, it has everything needed - including an empty minifridge, an espresso maker, a safe, a flat-screen television and a small seating area featuring a coffee table and couch.” 22
- “Its spacious guest rooms provide comfort and convenience, and its suites come complete with lounge areas, work desks, and room technology.” 11
- “First night, room has water leaks and move to a same bedroom on the second floor.” 17
- “The parking was free and right next to our room. We were thrilled with the room, but the kicker was this view from our balcony. Morning coffee from the in-room Keurig was perfect on the balcony as the sun highlighted the mountains.” 17
- “That's why they've constructed outdoor seating areas - either a balcony or a rear porch sitting area - on every single unit on the premises. Simply sitting out on the balcony with a drink or book is a genuine experience in and of itself.” 4
- “A bold red floral motif, a wood-grained statement wall and a navy blue bathroom and closet doors add vibrancy to the otherwise neutral palette of the room.” 22
Location9 mentions
- “It's just a two-minute walk from the entrance to Zion National Park which means this hotel is pretty much perfectly situated for those seeking modern conveniences and natural splendor.” 6
- “With its convenient location - just 200 yards from the park visitor center and a shuttle stop for exploring Springdale - Cliffrose Springdale allows you to maximize your time in this breathtaking region.” 2
- “The pathway from our room took us seven minutes to walk to the pedestrian entrance of Zion National Park. It was such a pleasure seeing all the cars backed up on the road waiting to drive through the entrance while we leisurely strolled past.” 1
- “Price was very reasonable, location is just hop, skip and jump from "downtown Springdale" which has good restaurants and shops -- can't miss with this place!” 7
- “The Cliffrose would be my second choice. It is a simple walk from the Clifforse Inn into the park. I know that there are shuttles but sometimes it was just nice to walk out of the park to our room.” 7
- “Well-located to explore the dramatic wonders of Zion National Park; it's five minutes drive to the park entrance” 9
- “Clean, set in beautiful location just outside of Zion National Park, park shuttle right in front of inn.” 7
- “Advisors and clients alike enjoy the property's picturesque riverside location under the view of the Watchman, one of Zion's famous sandstone mountains, as well as its convenient location to the increasingly popular (and harder to access) U.S. national park.” 22
- “Was in Zion/Bryce two times last year and stayed at Flannigan's Inn both times (spring with my husband and fall with my sisters) -- personally, I love the place! Clean, set in beautiful location just outside of Zion National Park, park shuttle right in front of inn.” 7
Food16 mentions
- “We sat on the patio at white linen covered tables sipping our coffee. Our order consisted of avocado toast with eggs and blueberry pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup and bacon. It was all amazing!” 1
- “The breakfast ($30 a day as Diamond) ordered to the room was excellent and the customer service was top notch across the board.” 17
- “However I would avoid the Switchback restaurant (for dinner anyways). Uncooked meatballs served cold in the center..thank goodness my friend cut them open first before taking a bite!” 7
- “I'm not even a burger person. Also had dinner at Cafe Diablo for the second time and it's very good. Presentation is over the top, but food is good and very creative.” 7
- “The credit does not stack across days and is not valid for room service. It is one of the more useful Diamond F&B credits in the Curio system because the restaurant prices are reasonable.” 19
- “I found the food (tri tip steak sandwich) at Capitol Reef Inn and Cafe pretty tasty and reasonably priced.” 7
- “Cliffrose Restaurant. Breakfast 7 to 11 AM, dinner 5 to 10 PM. Closed for lunch (the kitchen turns over for the dinner service). New American menu with Utah-sourced trout and elk. The trout almondine at $34 is the dinner move.” 19
- “Cliffrose Springdale, Curio Collection by Hilton offers an exciting place for weary travellers and outdoor adventurers alike to relax and unwind. Its tranquil setting on the edge of the Virgin River makes it the perfect spot to explore Zion National Park and local dining.” 11
- “Impressive canyon views from rooms, pool, restaurant and spa give a real sense of place” 9
- “Good mexican restaurant in Zion/Springdale is Bit & Spur (serves alcohol); fine dining at Spotted Dog (both medium to high priced, but food is very good).” 7
- “$30 does not cover breakfast for 2. They have increased the prices by about $2 for all dishes so if you order 2x$14 (standard breakfast option) you are already at $30.17 including tax without any coffee, tea or orange juice.” 1
- “I have stayed at both Flannigan's and Desert Pearl. I much prefer Flannigan's. The bed are the most comfortable, they provide bathrobes and the restaurant that is attached is pretty decent.” 7
- “Following a day of exploration, rejuvenate with a delicious meal at Anthera, the on-site restaurant featuring delectable cuisine sure to tantalize your taste buds.” 2
- “Food options from Anthera restaurant are tasty and hearty - exactly what one would want before and after a day spent outdoors.” 22
- “Stayed here last week on points (80k per nt). It's 200 ft from Zion visitor center, good food.” 17
- “The substantial free breakfast is very popular and served in the breakfast room with patio seating.” 6
Noise3 mentions
- “I would highly recommend it. Just make sure you get an upstairs room, unless they have completed carpeting the upstairs rooms. When I was there the noise from the uncarpeted upstairs sounded like elephants in the disco.” 7
- “The site itself is the reason to be here. The 6-acre property runs along 600 feet of Virgin River frontage. You can hear the river from most rooms.” 19
- “Standard King without view (around 340 sq ft). Faces the parking court or Zion Park Boulevard. The road traffic until 10 PM is loud in summer. Skip this category entirely.” 19
Bathroom4 mentions
- “Again - it was a very roomy bathroom - except for the shower - but it seemed to not be a great use of space.” 1
- “The bathroom, with a shower/tub combination, was small.” 8
- “The bathroom was very large but had a comparatively small shower. I had to tuck in my elbows while washing my hair!” 1
- “The new ownership has spruced up the rooms with new bedframes featuring convenient outlets and lights, as well as an updated bathroom with new wood-grain laminate flooring, a new vanity, industrial-style copper faucets and additional lighting hanging from the mirror.” 22
View1 mention
- “But overall, this area was roomy, practical and opened onto a patio that had a spectacular view of the landscaping, the river and the sun-soaked cliffs.” 1

- “And the price of points/free night certificate gave me great value for the stay!” 1
- “I had dinner last trip at the Rim Rock. Chose trout, baked potato and veggies. Very good, I didn't think it was too expensive.” 7
Bed & Sleep3 mentions
- “Leather couches and chairs give guests a place to crash comfortably, and the pillow-top beds allow tired hikers to get a good night's sleep.” 6
