Zion Lodge

We stayed in a cabin for 5 nights and it was wonderful. We had deer and turkeys outside our front porch every night. The cabins are very roomy and rustic with hardwood floors and a small stone fireplace. The beds were a little hard but OK. The bathrooms have a bath tub with shower, sink and toilet. There is another room that has a sink, microwave, fridge and coffee maker. It’s great to have a central location in the park rather than the hassle of the town shuttle bus transferring to the park shuttle bus. And you can come back to your room in the middle of the day if you need to change (it was 18°F in the morning and 75° by early afternoon) or to drop gear off. The shuttle bus is right at the lodge to take you to all the great hikes. We did the upper and lower emerald pools, the narrows up to Wall Street and we made it to the top of Angels Landing so our 60+ year old bodies were happy for the warm bath at the end of the day. We had dinner every night at the lodge and food and service were very good, but you need to make reservations as there were several bus tours there. We are already planning our next visit. Read less

We stayed in one of the 2 double bed cabins down the far end of Zion Lodge. What a treat, no tv, the cabin is completely made of the wood, there is a gas fireplace to keep you cozy and warm. The beds were comfortable to sleep in and there is a quaint wee space to make tea/coffee off to the side of the main room. Products they use are all ecological and they have a great recycling sceme. Hotel staff were very friendly. There is a neat gift shop and a lovely restaurant also on site. You do have to book a reservation for dinner as its very popular. There are deer everywhere who are cauciously friendly, turkeys, and squirrels around the lodge. The only downside is the lighting at night it is very dark, almost pitch black. We had our cellphone torches on so we could see where we were going. Improved lighting is recommended. Otherwise an amazing place to stay. Read less

In order to experience: 1. NO LIGHTS at all between registration parking lot and building. 711p and totally dark. An accident waiting to happen. Excuses about electrical work being done so lights turned off and mandatory low wattage park lighting are unacceptable. 2. Sparce (one) solar?, ground light leading to cabin. Unacceptable. 3. Overhead light in cabin not synced to wall switch (easy to do by just leaving pull chain feature in on-position) so needed to find desk and bed lights in cabin using flashlight. 4. Fireplace wouldn’t stay lit; needed to call maintenance. 5. Bath lotions in containers permanently attached to counters, etc. short spout tips so releasing liquids challenging because of non-movement. To add insult to injury, body lotion container had only 1 squirt of cream. 6. One window curtain - blackout type. We were unable to let sunshine in because windows were clear and low and easily transparent. 7. Microwave and refrigerator in room. 8. Hot shower; regular-height toilet. 9. This should be #3. Front desk check-in. Asked if cabin was an accessible unit. Flippant answer was “Accessible? Well, there’s 2 steps to walk up.” Condescending, impatient tone and inappropriate phrasing. Property is part of Xanterra Travel Collection which provided excellent booking service. We loved Yellowstone Mammoth Lodge and have high hopes for Grand Canyon Kachina Lodge. We would neither return to nor recommend Zion Lodge. Read less

We only stopped for food whilst hiking. Mid way between the stops. Only place you can get food so no other choice. Cosy and comfy. Gift shop with snacks, outdoor hot drink place and coffee shop that sells junk like burgers and pretzels to name a few. Limited menu. Hot dog was OK. Fast and friendly service. No indoor seating so go outside. Lot's of seating there. The lobby was cosy and most people sitting there were taking a hiking breather like us and not staying there! Fast free wifi as well. There is a restaurant but limited menu and not so great. Also long wait. Suggest bringing your own food if you come to the park. Read less
