    Clean, compact motel with poolside balcony, but loud A/C may disturb light sleepers.

    The air conditioner was very loud, making it difficult to sleep at night — light sleepers may find it especially disturbing.

    A classic roadside-style motel with a standard, small room where everything was compact but functional. The room was relatively clean and had everything we needed. We especially liked the small balcony with direct access to the pool and even a jacuzzi.

    This is a wonderful place! The beauty of the surrounding is stunning and the lodge s jewel. At the reception we met Nick who was very kind and his travel advices were really helpful. This is definitely one of our favorite places during our trip through California, Arizona, and Utah.

    Everything was great

    Everything was great about this hotel, we did an 18-day road trip through CA,AZ,NV and UT and this was probably our favorite hotel we stayed at. The room was clean and spacious and very nicely decorated. We particularly liked the removable shower head as europeans ☺️

    Fell in love with this place. After completing our scenic drive through Zion National Park, the Thunderbird Lodge was conveniently located on the same road. The attached store and restaurant are such an asset. Our room has a wonderful cabin feel with large ceiling to floor windows to view golf course and hills. Very pleased we picked this spot to stay!

    The restaurant was closed for two days during our three day stay. The soundproofing between our ground floor roof and the room above us was poor.

    The staff was very helpful and friendly.

    Nothing really

    The room was nice, clean, had comfortable furniture and included a walkout to a mini back porch to enjoy the Mountain View’s. We enjoyed the decor! It also included a mini fridge, microwave coffee maker and a fan. The hot tub and restaurant on site are a plus as well.

    Perhaps the only thing to write here is that we spent a little while trying to figure out how to use the shower instead of the bathtub

    We felt like home! The staff at the reception was so nice and friendly - they are there until 10pm and we were running kind of late cause spent more time hiking at Zion than we initially thought and we also had a heavy snow on our way there. They were texting us to confirm the time of our arrival to arrange a late check in if needed (arrived to the hotel around 9pm) - unfortunately we couldn’t see those messages until we were close to the hotel due to lack of service around the mountains, however it’s always nice to know that they are taking care of those details. They are also in front of a gas station and a great restaurant where we had a very nice breakfast. The bed was great and really comfortable, we also had a good coffee machine, great to have the iron in the room without the need to ask for it. Great WiFi!! This was important after having a poor experience with this in our previous hotel in Vegas. We only stayed for 1 night but we wished we could’ve stayed longer there.

    The laundry facility room was not as kept up and up to date as our room was. I would have liked to have seen it cared for like the room was, you could tell they had been updated somewhat recently and taken care. The laundry area lacked that care.

    We loved the location of the property and how close it was located to Zion National Park. The staff was friendly. The room was clean and property was well maintained. The restaurant that was located in the lodge was fantastic and just added even more positive things to our stay, it was a was choice for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
