The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

This hotel offers a convenient, scenic base situated just one mile from the South Entrance of Zion National Park. Spacious suites come equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, and fast Wi-Fi alongside views of the surrounding rock formations. However, light sleepers should be aware of thin insulation between floors, which can allow overhead footsteps to carry between rooms. 51

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

  • Visitors appreciate the location, which is within easy walking distance of Springdale shops and restaurants and just one mile from the park entrance. 56
  • The outdoor pool, hot tub, and fireplaces offer relaxing spaces framed by views of the surrounding rock formations. 5
  • In the rooms, travelers rely on effective heating and cooling units during drastic temperature swings, fast free Wi-Fi, and convenient mini-fridges and microwaves. 2
  • Housekeeping is attentive, promptly delivering requested towels to guest room doors. 2

The catch

  • Opinions on the complimentary breakfast diverge: some praise the food quality and hot chocolate station, while others complain of cost-cutting and coffee being pulled promptly at nine. 16
  • Guests disagree on room views, noting that while the hotel backdrop is scenic, some rooms look onto the pool or parking area rather than the mountains. 1

Who it's for

  • Hikers seeking early morning access to the Zion South Entrance
  • Families needing in-room microwaves, refrigerators, and bathtubs
  • Travelers with dogs needing spacious bottom-floor suites

Skip it if

  • Light sleepers sensitive to thin insulation and footstep noise from upstairs floors
  • Guests expecting luxury full-service dining instead of limited-service breakfast

Bathroom

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • The shower was thoroughly cleaned, and there were no issues with water temperature or water pressure which is always great. 2
  • The bathroom, which is accessed via a large sliding barn door (seen above), was spacious and modern. Although the bathroom only had one sink on the smaller side, it did have a good amount of counter space and good lighting. 2

Food

  • There was also hot chocolate packets by the coffee station and my kids loved that! We overall enjoyed the breakfast, felt like the quality was good for this level of hotel and the food was being attended to and replenished regularly even though it was quite busy! 6
  • The SpringHill Suites Zion has free breakfast for everyone, and while it is obviously modified right now due to the pandemic, we were still big fans. 3

Location

97
read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • We loved that this location was very walkable to Zion Guru (0.2 miles) as well as restaurants, ice cream and shops (we spent one afternoon shopping in Springdale and didn't need to take a car). 6
  • If you are planning a trip to Zion National Park, it is hard to beat the location of the SpringHill Suites Springdale. 2

Noise

read from 1 source · Light coverage
  • 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. 1

Room

  • The West Elm sofa bed is really nice for families. Not those terrible and uncomfortable sofa beds you find everywhere. 1
  • We stayed in the Suite, 2 Queen, with Sofa Bed and the room did not disappoint. We had a lots of good space for our family to spread out and the sofa bed was actually a long couch that had a trundle that pulled out and rolled back under the bed easily. 6

Service

  • Finally, we found customer service to be outstanding here. 6
  • I'd recommend the Holiday Inn next door, similar views and I had super friendly and helpful staff on my last stay. 1

  • The bed was on the firmer side but still comfortable and I enjoyed the floating headboard that came with built-in nightstands and good lighting options. 2

  • We were able to book a king suite for two nights for only about $320 total (with taxes). If we had waited just two weeks to make the same booking, the total would've came out to about $800 so this was an absolute bargain in my eyes. 2
  • I found this accommodation to strike the perfect balance between price, location, and mid-level luxury. 2

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.

Room15 mentions
  • Springhill is one of my favorite of the mid level chain options. It is imo a step above Fairfield, Staybridge, Hyatt Place etc. The rooms are just slightly higher quality and always very consistent since every Springhill room I have stayed in had been the exact same as the one you stayed in. 1
  • The West Elm sofa bed is really nice for families. Not those terrible and uncomfortable sofa beds you find everywhere. 1
  • There are also some sliding privacy panels that you can push aside if you would like to open up the room a little bit more and look out to the view. We had a pretty decent view of some of the towering red rocks from our window. 2
  • We stayed in the Suite, 2 Queen, with Sofa Bed and the room did not disappoint. We had a lots of good space for our family to spread out and the sofa bed was actually a long couch that had a trundle that pulled out and rolled back under the bed easily. 6
  • The room came equipped with both a microwave and a refrigerator which is very handy at a place like this. 2
  • The desk area was really helpful for making a take out buffet or fixing sandwiches to pack for our hike. There was a very large, walk-in closet in our room. This was really nice as my oldest daughter likes more privacy so she set up that as a changing room for herself making getting ready easier. 6
  • 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. 1
  • Wifi in the room was fast and free. 1
  • The king suite was a nice and open room. 2
  • The room was great - it was spacious, and I appreciated how interesting the design was. 1
  • Our accommodation was a 1 King Suite, which was clean and contemporary, pretty much "standard" for a SpringHill Suites property (as expected). 5
  • In one corner of the room, you'll find a pull out-couch if you need extra real estate for sleeping. They also have a nice little work station with outlets and good lighting for getting work done. 2
  • This is the hotel you pick to enjoy a truly majestic backdrop while staying very close to the entrance of one of the top national parks in the country. You're going to get a stay in a suite that still looks and feels new. 3
  • Our family of four has started to feel very cramped in a traditional hotel room, but we never felt cramped in this suite as there was plenty of truly separated space to spread out, along with dedicated spots to store our stuff. 3
  • Certainly one of the nicer options in Springdale, though the room layout was a little unusual. 1
Food10 mentions
  • The complimentary breakfast was on the better side than what I"d usually expect from a free breakfast hotel. 5
  • 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. 1
  • I've probably stayed in 20 of them, none of which were memorable. It also made me LOL that they blamed their breakfast cost cutting on "supply chain." Creative. Not valid, but creative 1
  • There was also hot chocolate packets by the coffee station and my kids loved that! We overall enjoyed the breakfast, felt like the quality was good for this level of hotel and the food was being attended to and replenished regularly even though it was quite busy! 6
  • Breakfast is free for everyone, the onsite pool (when open) and hot tub are both inviting and relaxing. 3
  • The SpringHill Suites Zion has free breakfast for everyone, and while it is obviously modified right now due to the pandemic, we were still big fans. 3
  • 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. 1
  • 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. 1
  • Breakfast takes place in the lobby area and they did a good job of setting up a spacious area with grab and go items. 2
  • @ 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. 1
Location7 mentions
  • We loved that this location was very walkable to Zion Guru (0.2 miles) as well as restaurants, ice cream and shops (we spent one afternoon shopping in Springdale and didn't need to take a car). 6
  • If you are planning a trip to Zion National Park, it is hard to beat the location of the SpringHill Suites Springdale. 2
  • But, this isn't the hotel you pick to indulge and max-out elite status perks. This is the hotel you pick to enjoy a truly majestic backdrop while staying very close to the entrance of one of the top national parks in the country. 3
  • Stayed at this same hotel with my son several years ago. It was great. Perfect location for getting into the park early before the heat & the crowds. 1
  • First opened in 2017, not only is this property new and nice in its own right, but its claim to fame is unquestionably its location in the literal shadow of Zion National Park. 3
  • That was in part due to the Springhill Suites Springdale Marriott itself and its location and in part due to Springdale being absolutely beautiful and lovely. We knew from the pictures on the website that there were beautiful views from this hotel but the pictures can't do it justice! 6
  • The hotel's location was ideal for exploring all that southern Utah and Greater Zion had to offer. It was situated just 1 mile from the South Entrance of Zion National Park, and within a day's trip from Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon North Rim, Lake Powell, and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. 5
Service9 mentions
  • 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. 1
  • 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. 1
  • The cleaning service staff was very prompt on multiple occasions. We requested towels a couple of times and they arrived at our door very shortly. 2
  • Finally, we found customer service to be outstanding here. 6
  • 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. 1
  • The check-in process was quick, and the front desk associate was friendly. 1
  • I'd recommend the Holiday Inn next door, similar views and I had super friendly and helpful staff on my last stay. 1
  • While this hotel is part of the Marriott Springhill Suites brand, it does have some nice luxury elements to it which I really appreciated upon arrival. Also, the staff at check-in was very friendly and helped kick our stay off on a nice positive note. 2
  • Check in was easy and we were directed to the closest place to park to access our room. 6
Noise1 mention
  • 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. 1
Value3 mentions
  • 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... 1
  • We were able to book a king suite for two nights for only about $320 total (with taxes). If we had waited just two weeks to make the same booking, the total would've came out to about $800 so this was an absolute bargain in my eyes. 2
  • I found this accommodation to strike the perfect balance between price, location, and mid-level luxury. 2

  • The bathroom, which is accessed via a large sliding barn door (seen above), was spacious and modern. Although the bathroom only had one sink on the smaller side, it did have a good amount of counter space and good lighting. 2
  • The shower was thoroughly cleaned, and there were no issues with water temperature or water pressure which is always great. 2
  • The bathroom was nice and was spacious as well, the downside was that the sink, shower and toilet were all in one room together. 6
View1 mention
  • Undoubtedly, when you arrive in the lobby you will notice the beautiful floor to ceiling windows looking out to the canyon walls. Just taking one quick glance at the view let me know that I made the right decision with this hotel. 2
Bed & Sleep1 mention
  • The bed was on the firmer side but still comfortable and I enjoyed the floating headboard that came with built-in nightstands and good lighting options. 2
