Canyon Ranch Motel

Awesome place to stay when adventuring in the Zion national park. Located just out side the park in Springdale near restaurants and fun. The owner took us in last minute when she was closing, gave us a great deal, and a great room next to the jacuzzi. She is so kind, she gave me a home made gift for my birthday. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a place to stay near the park.

Stumbled upon this place while searching for places to stay during labor day weekend and that was back in July. Most of the places in the area were either way out of my small budget or already booked, including the bed and breakfast places in rockville.
At the time Caren had told me there were already booked, but she encouraged me to check again, just in case I got lucky – and I did. This place can’t be booked through
. Booking/​finding places near Zion meant me dialing phone numbers to check for availability. What drew me to this place was their simple yet informative website, including pictures of the rooms they offered; some rooms came with a kitchenette for those wanting to have a home cooked meal.
We arrived and were quite surprised at how close everything is near this place. Shuttle stop was right in front. If you didn’t want to wait for it you could walk I’d say ~20 minutes to the Zion’s trailhead. Our room was cleaner than most motels I’ve seen. (Only thing is they don’t have a ventilation fan in the bathroom) The motel has a big grassy area; felt like a garden area that we got to see a deer graze by. Liked how central this location was to the shuttle stop and eats nearby. They have a pool for you to rest your legs after a long day of hiking. Best part of this location is we had an awesome view outside our window!
Just know that you can’t checkin till 3pm. If you try to get there earlier, good luck, because the office is closed.

We are here for the first time and it is really nice. The room is perfect for us, the staff is nice and it is near the park. If you want you can use the shuttle I front of the motel.

Spectacular location, lovely, grassy courtyard, friendly, helpful staff, reasonably priced, and convenient access to Zion. But… the wifi was spotty, the AC worked, but only on high, so at night, we were either chilly or boiling. Still… I’d stay there again.

Very good deal for the price! I was pleasantly surprised by the courtyard with benches and good views and the pool is nice too. Super close to the park! I’d stay here again

Very friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable and the grounds are beautiful. The Shuttle stop to Zion National Park is here and is easy walking to everything you need.

This hotel no longer accepts dogs-​not a problem for me, just sayin. The grounds are wonderful, with grassy space and lounge chairs between the row of two– unit one story cottages with parking right next to my room. The room is updated, as is the good sized bathroom and the room has a fridge. A jacuzzi with views of rocky spires, an easy walk to my favorite restaurant (Whiptail Grill) plus a shuttle stop across the road makes for a great location. Rooms sit away from the main road. The owner does not have a cell phone, and cell service is spotty in the canyon, but the free wifi works so maybe email to book ahead. The owner travels the area so ask for tips.

We love this little motel! We stayed here 5 years ago and just returned for another stay. The location is ideal and the grounds are very nice. We really enjoyed the pool/​hot tub and the views are really nice! Definitely affordable and clean. Really good quality coffee available throughout the day. If we return to Zion again we will definitely plan to stay at Canyon Ranch for a 3^rd time!

Most of these stars are simply for the location. Surrounded by beautiful red rock mountains this motel is the best value in the area. We stayed 3 nights and added a 4^th in another room. The first room with the King was a little funky (light switches didn’t work properly, and shower dripped — which they fixed). The double queen room was much nicer. Everyone was very friendly. Also, we enjoyed the pool and the lawn in front of the rooms. It’s like having a little park right outside your door. We had a brunch out there (not provided by motel) and played music. It was delightful. I’d book with them again.

i would have had an enjoyable stay except the housekeeping stole clothing out of my suitcase. the owner wasn’t responsive to this. i was pretty bummed out not to have my fleece during a chilly hike. other than that it was mostly ok, nothing special. it was affordable. the pool was pretty dirty.

I stayed at this motel a few times in the late 90s and had decent experiences so I tried to book it again for a recent trip. Well, they don’t have any online booking presence and they don’t answer their phone or return messages. Hello? I tried calling 8 times over the course of three days! Yes, during normal business hours. I guess they get enough business from walk-​ins that they can ignore the phone, but as a traveler coming from hundreds of miles away I simply cannot take my chances on finding a «Vacancy» sign when I arrive in town.

I almost gave this motel 1 star. Too many negatives. Reading the other reviews, everyone likes that they take dogs. Not enough plugs for power, no fan in the bathroom, small TV, loud AC/​Heater, very slow wifi that kicks you off often, no ice in the one ice machine (They even mentioned the ice machine when checking in), coffee only in the lobby which is normally locked, jets didn’t work in the hot tub. This motel could easily fix a lot of issues with a few easy upgrades. I would not stay here again.

This place would have gotten 4 stars if it weren’t for holes in the towels and for the cleaning lady complaining because we left towels on the floor and a couple of beers in a bag ready to be thrown out. There is not good ventilation in the bathroom. Heaven forbid someone has to poop. It will be all over the room lingering for a long time even with windows open.

this place was a great find, super clean and the accomodations were amazing! Cool little spot right under the Beautiful mountains with great staff and perfect location, just a few minutes to the entrance of the park.

What a great Motel. This was our first time to Zion National Park so I just took a chance booking this motel and it was a great choice. It is a dog friendly motel with a beautiful view, plenty of space for your dog to exercise. Karen was so helpful giving me information about the park and the places to eat since we were going off season and not everything was open. The room was very clean and cute with tile floors which was great having a dog just in case of any accidents. It was only minutes away from the entrance of the park and everything else in town. The best part was the price, very affordable! We will definitely be back.

This is one of three hotels in town to allow dogs (and all three surprisingly charge the same rate). The rooms are huge – we had a king size room that was pet-​friendly, and it was enormous! The bathrooms are very clean and nice. They don’t scrimp on the pillows or towels, etc. Beautiful outdoor patio leading to pasture with views of the mountains. The only negative about this place, was our stay in late December turned out to cost us $ 130 for one night. We were really hoping to find a cheaper motel, but you really cannot find one right near the park. There is a town that has a Super 8 and some other chain motels further away, if you are wanting to save money. I would have preferred our room to have stayed under $ 100. They do charge you a non-​refundable $ 25 pet fee, but all the hotels in town do the same. Our dog loved the big room.

We picked this place after reading some positive reviews here. We loved it! It’s right outside the gate to Zion, walking distance to the park entrance and walking distance to several good restaurants.
The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything that we could ask for. We will plan to stay here again on our next visit to Zion!

Loved staying here! My husband and I were planning on camping in Zion but the campsites were full. We drove around looking for a cheap hotel when this place caught my eye. It was so cute that I wanted to check it out. It was a little more that we wanted to pay but we were able to get a room with a kitchenette! We ended up saving money because we were able to cook our own food we had packed for camping. We loved the owners, Mark and Karen. They were so friendly and hospitable. We ended up staying in the hotel for 2 nights because we loved it so much. I definitely recommend this place!

Dog friendly! The staff is sweet and helpful. The rooms are cozy, no carpet which is nice because you can see the cleanliness. It is a walk from the entrance to Zion. It has an amazing 360 degree view.

One of the closest hotels to the entrance of the park. The free Park Shuttle stops right at their front door. Reasonable rates, clean rooms and, easy parking. The staff is friendly. They called me on the road when they went out to dinner just so I wouldn’t be troubled if I checked in late.
Oh yeah, and gorgeous pictures of the sunrise from right outside your room. I literally, woke up, walked outside of my room, took a bunch of pictures, and went back in about 5 mins.
All of this for a much better rate than most of the other hotels in the Springdale area. These guys are great!

Un motel vraiment bien situé, très bien entretenu, juste à l’entrée du parc de Zion (la navette pour y accéder est juste sur le trottoir en face) Piscine et Jacuzzi au pied des falaises rouges à votre disposition.Sublime.
En juillet vous pourrez même goûter les abricots du jardin que la patronne vous offrira volontiers ainsi que le café. A deux pas il y a un parc avec des rennes pour une promenade avec les enfants avant une dernière méditation vespérale dans la balancelle.
Les prix sont raisonnables et justifiés, on a dormi à 5 :2 adultes, 3 enfants dans une seule chambre sans problèmes et sans devoir escamoter un bambin !
