This quaint, Best Western has an awesome story from the 1930’s. This family run business is a perfect stop between the parks of Utah. The Caramel Mountain burger was a huge specialty burger that was DELICIOUS! Don’t forget to get apple pie, with butter rum sauce and ice cream!

Lovely room. Very comfortable and clean. Meal options were limited but the hotel had a restaurant that was good. This place is a quieter option to staying at Springdale, UT. We visited Bryce and Zion from this location.

Stay was mid but not bad

Overall it was a good stay. The only complaint was everything around the hotel was dead after 9pm. Also the radiant heater kept repeatedly popping when cooling off and heating up. Woke me up at 3 am.
