"The restrooms were a long walk away, and no toilet paper or soap. It was great for roughing it, but priced way too high! The web site through Expedia never mentioned you must supply your own linen, bedding, towels and everything, so I was unprepared, but it was non-refundable so after I booked it said nothing was supplied. One worker made you wait until 3pm check-in time even though cabin was ready, another worker went above n beyond by bringing bedding and anything else we needed at no extra...

Top Thunderbird Gardens Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Cedar City

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as we entered we were greeted by a very nice gentleman. I don’t remember his name, but very pleasant. The rooms were so nice, with huge walk in shower. Super clean. Very nice complementary breakfast. Walking distance to center of town and the campus. We will definitely be staying there again when we return to Cedar City. They get 5 stars!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cedar City

10/10 Excellent

Abbey Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay! Friendly staff!"

Best Western Plus Cedar City

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel rooms were rather dated, clean and quiet. Great location. We stayed 2 nights. There were restaurants and an antique store all at the same location! The gardens/outdoor seating area were beautiful. Easy access to gas stations, fast food and Bryce Canyon for us."

Super 8 by Wyndham Cedar City

8/10 Good

"The rooms are clean and compact. Very reasonable price. In my room there were 3 lights one of which didn't work. There is no light at the door. The bathroom light has a motion detector and comes on automatically - a bit annoying when using the bathroom during sleeping times. The television made a constant clicking sound - about 1 click per second. The manager finally had to unplug it to make it stop. In the "breakfast" room the 1/2 & 1/2 was stored in a small frig - a 1 gallon container. Excellent! Instead of dozens of small plastic, single use containers."

Quality Inn Cedar City - University Area

8/10 Good

"Great all"

Big Yellow Inn

10/10 Excellent
