Conveniently located

There's nothing fancy about this hotel, but it was comfortable and very nicely located to get to Zion (great option if you want to avoid the Springdale traffic). The front desk staff were super friendly and very helpful. It was also quite convenient to have gas stations and a convenience store right by.
