Best Friends Roadhouse and Mercantile

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-stay for pet lovers visiting Kanab or Zion I stayed at the Best Friends Roadhouse for two nights with my dog Lia and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The rooms were clean, stylish, and surprisingly well-appointed for a place that still has a bit of that “motel” look from the outside. But what really sets this place apart is how truly dog friendly it is—not just dog allowing. From the secure, planted dog park out back to the self-service dog wash station, everything here is designed with pets in mind. The entryways are safe, the garden is beautiful, and the whole place has warm, welcoming vibes. It’s the perfect home base if you’re planning to visit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary (which I highly recommend doing, especially volunteering!). The Roadhouse makes it easy, comfortable, and special for both you and your pup. We’ll definitely be back.

Our daughter found this place because we were looking for someplace quiet to take our dog and get away from fireworks. This hotel is small, quaint, and pet accommodating. I mean, many hotels say they're pet friendly because they allow pets, but this one treats pets the same as they do the humans. First off, the rooms are a lot nicer than the chain hotels. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice a second door to keep pets in while you exit. There are towels specifically for pets and a water and food bowl in case you forget your own. The rooms are nice and quiet so you and your pet get a good night sleep. And you don't even have to bring a bed for your dog or cat. Each human bed has a pullout bed for your pet to lay on. Need to exercise your dog? There's a small doggy play area in the back. Or, if you're more adventurous, ask where the nearest parks or trails are. With the help of Barbara, we found a nice walking path along the Jackson Reservoir that our dog enjoyed. And of course, she needed a bath after the hike. The hotel also offers a pet spa for you to bathe your pet. I highly recommend coming here even if it is just to get away from the big city. And if you don't have a pet but want a sleepover, the hotel is associated with the Best Friends Rescue that you can visit.

We loved the cabin. It was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. It's like a cute efficiency apartment. Very beautiful setting as well. Our only issue was the bed was a little soft for our liking, but not bad at all. A great first experience at the cabins.

My dog and I loved the place from check in to check out. They had his name welcoming him on a chalkboard as we checked in. He usually rejects the treats most hotels offer but loved theirs . The unleashed area was spacious and lush. The breakfast area was pet friendly which you don't find in most hotels. The staff all seem to care about animals . The room was very nice and modern and not expensive.|It is reasonably close to Zion ,Bryce Canyon and the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

We had a wonderful experience. Rooms are well appointed. Very pet friendly. Staff is so gracious. Breakfast at the Mercantile was a nice bonus and we had lunch included at the Sanctuary. It reflects the values of the whole Best Friends organization. We will definitely stay there again.

The property is very nice and they've gone above and beyond with thought of pets. It's really great. There's not much parking, and if you have a trailer on your truck, forget about it. I wish our room had some kind of chairs besides dining chairs and the included breakfast was absolutely terrible. Why the entire menu at the mercantile is vegan, plant based and gluten free is beyond me. it's apparent who they're catering to. most hotel breakfasts aren't great, but this is next level bad. Overall, it's pricey but very nice, clean and comfortable if you like that type of thing. I'll be staying elsewhere next time I'm in town for sure.

We loved our stay at the cottages at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary! Waking up to see horses, goats, and pigs right outside was such a special experience. The scenery in the middle of Kanab is absolutely stunning, and the cottage itself was spacious, comfortable, and peaceful. We even had a “sleepover” with Bonita the kitty—she was absolutely adorable and made our stay even more memorable. A truly heartwarming experience!

This hotel was amazing! My husband and I stopped here overnight during our cross country roadtrip with our two dogs and it was by far the best hotel we stayed at. It was incredibly reasonably priced for all the amenities. Our dogs were so comfortable here. They truly thought of everything, from the dog park to the pull out dog bed to the dog bowls in the room. The hotel room itself was beautiful and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was good too! The views from the hotel are beautiful as well. We absolutely will be returning. My only suggestion is an additional grassy/turf potty area. Our dogs only potty on grass and the dog park was not always available for them to go. Overall, amazing hotel for anyone, with or without pets!

First, you're helping Best Friend's rescue. Second, it's a wonderful place for travelers with pets or for those who would like to adopt - you can sign up to bring back a pet from the sanctuary or volunteer. Third, Kanab is such a beautiful town. So many trails, slot canyons, and toadstool hoodoos that you will wonder if you even need to make the trip to Zion 30 minutes away. Great place to serve as home base for the Northern Grand Canyon run too. Breakfast is included too! Plus 2 lunch passes to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Where you can sign up for tours. Very cool experience!

A beautiful sanctuary owned by animal rescue. Friendly staff. Whimsical artwork. Gorgeous grounds. Gift shop high end lovely merchandise. Can access Page and Kanab day trips Bring your pets. They'll love it

Place was super amazing, and clean as well! All around pleasant stay. Ps don't do the overnight with a pet we slept none

I am OBSESSED with this hotel!! First off, my favorite thing I learned is if you don't have a dog, you can stay here, go up to the mercenary and pick a dog or bunny to stay with you for the night. How amazing is that! We did not get a chance to do it, but would definitely if we could have! This was the perfect spot to stop on our road trip. The room we had was a king bed on the first floor. The hotel is super modern and clean! The room was so well designed, bright, fun & spacious! They paid attention to little details like having dog bowls, a pull out dog bed! The best feature is there's an additional door at the entry to prevent your dog from running out! Love the consideration of safety for our furry friends. Staff was the sweetest, it is located right outside of Zion which made for a perfect location for stop #3 of our road trip across the country!

By far an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door to check in till we left. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, accommodations were amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better stay for to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

This was our second stay and it was just like the first- wonderful! Room was beautiful and spotless. Beds were comfortable. Quiet. Breakfast was nice with a hot buffet. Look forward to our next stay!

I volunteered at Best Friends Sanctuary and had sleepovers with 2 different sanctuary dogs "Lunchable" and "Argos" This is the 2nd time I've stayed here with a sanctuary pup. The grounds are awesome, the rooms are perfect. Check in is easy and the cookies are delicious, they even have pup treats for your fur baby. The café and mercantile store is perfect. Breakfast is a great addition in the morning and hot chocolate is necessary in the mornings, for me of course because it was chill-lay!! Only pictures I took were of these cute pups snuggling in the bed with me. They clearly enjoyed it after our long hikes just as much as I enjoyed the comfy bed. The Roadhouse is my go-to spot when I'm in town volunteering and bringing sanctuary friend for a sleepover. Apparently you get 2 lunch tickets for the Café at Best Friends when you stay here. I didn't know that and I didn't get lunch tickets either time I stayed here. I'll have to ask about that when I come again. Book the Roadhouse and bring your furry friend, you won't regret it!

Talk about a hotel designed for pets! I've stayed here multiple times and can not recommend it enough! From the personalized chalkboard welcome sign for your pet to the large & small dog park, the complimentary breakfast & the 24/7 front desk there is quite possibly not much missing. The staff are always so friendly and amazing with your furry friends! Plus if you purchase the Best Friends membership you get discounted hotel rates. They even offer sleepovers with shelter pets (no personal pets allowed with this experience though). Book ahead of time if you would like to participate in a shelter pet sleepover. Thank you Best Friends for the incredible hospitality and experience!

These folks are so great it's hard to know where to begin! -Found me and my German Shepherd a room VERY last minute on a Sunday evening when I got a flat tire on my way to Escalante, UT and needed a dog-friendly room in a hurry. Were flexible enough to book me for two nights, but only charge me for one in case car repair took two nights to do (it ended up only taking one). -They seem to have thought of everything for dog owners, from "den" style nooks to multiple size dog beds to bowls and leash hooks and everything. -As a vegetarian I love that they have all-plant based options, down to the canned coffee with cream. -As an EV driver I appreciate they have four Tesla charging stations, and were kind enough to let me juice up so I could make the drive to Escalante after my first attempt went awry, even thought I had checked out a few hours ago and only just had gotten my car back with 45% battery. They were also nice enough to let me check out late because my car wasn't ready until 11:30 AM. -Extremely friendly staff who answered my questions about bugs that attack dogs in the area and repellent and dog-friendly hiking and all. I will definitely stay here again if ever back in the area with my dog!

My fiancé and I stayed for our proposal weekend/his birthday and I could not have asked for a better experience. Not only was the room and the accommodations exceptional, their customer service and staff knocked it out of the park. I proposed to my fiancé over the weekend and let the staff know ahead of time. We got back from a day hiking Zion and the proposal, and they left the most thoughtful bag of gifts, a flower arrangement, two mini bottles of martinelli's, and a personalized note to help us celebrate. Thank you, THANK YOU Best Friend's Staff. We were happy to become members and we cannot wait to back. Thank you for all you do!

If we ever return to Kanab we will absolutely stay here again. Friendly, comfortable, super clean and CUTE. We took our dog and two young kids and it was so nice to feel so welcomed! Our boys had a hard time sleeping and the walls are pretty thin. We could hear dogs barking and I know our boys were noisy. That would be my only warning- bring ear plugs! Just plan for it since you know there will be dog noise. The breakfast/space was great. There was a concert the night we got there and it is walking distance to other food. We would recommend to anyone.

I found out about this amazing hidden gem of a place when I came to town to visit the Animal Sanctuary. I arrived late mmm at night and from the moment I walked in with the smell of the wood-burning fireplace, welcoming and lovely woman who was there to check me in. The best, well one of them, was the delicious cookie they give you upon check-in. For those who are vegan a bonus for you because everything at Best Friends is vegan. Here are some highlights from my recent stay, but there are really too many to list them all... - All the people that work there - The value for what you get is amazing - Location is a great base camp for your adventures to the various National Parks and other incredible sites. - The rooms are spacious and pet friendly and immaculate. In fact, I already planned another stay at the Mercantile and would recommend this place anytime you are looking for a place to stay when you are in town! P.S. The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary when you are in town. It is definitely not to be missed - it's incredible!

We spent 2 nights here at the end of December right before New Year's Day. The pups absolutely loved it. I loved it, too, but they really made themselves home here. The staff and guests were super friendly. I appreciate all the breakfast items are vegan. We had a chance to bath the pups and do the laundry at no extra charge before heading home. We are planning our next trip back to Kanab and will stay at Best Friends again.

Shout out to Best Friends Roadhouse for turning a quick roadtrip into an incredible experience for our pups! Five-Star customer service from check-in to mercantile assistance! Our dogs also give Five-Paws for the dog park, room set-up, and a welcoming atmosphere. Words cannot express how impressed and thankful we are! We had a basic standard room with a queen bed. The bed had the cutest puppy pullout bed and all 3 of our dogs wanted to share it! The pull-out couch added extra space for our larger pup to spread out after a long drive. There was a refrigerator which was great for their wet foot. There were also 2 closets, so we utilized one for the dogs' suitcase. The entrance into the hotel room was the absolute best part. I originally wanted a 2nd floor room because I was scared one of our dogs would run out into the parking lot. But as soon as we unlocked the door on the first floor, there was a little entrance like at the dog park to avoid the dogs from escaping! I was So thankful for the extra safety measures they provided! So thoughtful! The TV was huge and the dogs loved to watch movies while we headed over to the Sanctuary to volunteer. We felt SO safe leaving our babies because The Roadhouse is extremely pet friendly. We have 3 dogs and usually only 1 dog is allowed under 20lbs at most hotels. We have a 70lb dog, 20lbs and 10lbs dog. They also provided bowls and the cutest welcome sign for our pups. The dog park was perfect. It was clean and quiet even though every room must have had a dog haha I felt so bad because I felt like our dogs were loud - to be a dog hotel it was so serene! There was a fire pit outside, too! We loved that all of the staff said hi to our babies; it really felt like home. I was expecting a basic room just to sleep, but this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. My dogs are so happy and had such a relaxing time because of Roadhouse. Huge thank you to the check-in staff who truly assisted with our requests, thank you to the continental breakfast staff for being so warm and welcoming, and thank you to the housekeeping staff for loving our babies. We are incredibly grateful and cannot wait to visit again!

Don't even know where to start with this place. THE most pet friendly resort/hotel I have ever been too. Honestly can't even say an enough good things about this place, from fees, to staff, to breakfast, to dog amenities, just everything was incredible and super pet friendly. If you are visiting any of the parks in the area and have a pup, you have to stay here. You and your pet will love it! They offer doggy bed near the actual beds, two dog parks, multiple drinking stations, dogs inside the mercantile for breakfast/lunch, pet spa to clean your pup and many other perks. The one thing I did not like (but honestly didn't matter) was that the breakfast they offered was strictly vegetarian and because of that was very limited. But honestly didn't matter, because the pastries and fruits they offered was great! Besides the amenities of this place, the staff was incredibly friendly and was there to help at any point for any problem. Our dog had the best trip and stay here, highly highly recommend visiting with your pup!!

This place was absolutely amazing. Any hotel site doesn't honestly do this place justice because the hotel from the outside doesn't even compare to all the hidden joys and beauty this place holds. First let's talk about check in: i'm not going to lie it was very busy, now of course we checked in right on time so it was to be expected that lots of other excited folks and pups were there too. Either way check-in was great we were greeted and welcomed with a cookie, map and a smile. At a pup centered hotel, patience is a must from all. Our Room: we were a little nervous when we first saw the location of our room because we were right above the stairs thinking our dogs would hear people coming up and down the stairs causing barking. This didn't happen not even once. We actually ended up falling in love with it. The rooms were pretty soundproof for the most part outside of the occasional dog that we could hear in the adjoining room on the other side of the door. Walking into the room, we were greeted with the most amazing invention a small closed space to transfer our pups from front door to living space. It was perfect to have a block between the door when we were bringing in our adventure gear as well. These rooms are perfect for all members of your family! There are speciality dog beds and secret hideouts in the rooms and everything is catered to your furry friend. But I promise they didn't forget about taking care of the humans - the showers are amazing. The bed was extremely comfortable. And the kitchenette was absolutely perfect for a multiple day adventure. The Grounds: this place is absolutely perfect for all. In front of the hotel/rooms is the cutest market space that offers breakfast in the morning and a space to work or edit those amazing photos you have taken on your adventures. Behind the hotel is the best dog park known to hoomans and doggos. It is like it's own little adventure park filled with different landscapes and gorgeous murals. There is a small park for those that need a little space or if you have little puppers, but the big park has so much space. We stayed three nights and only once did we wait for a switch out at the park to go in - otherwise we had it all to ourselves. In front of the dog park there is a wonderful fire pit that team lights each evening. You can bring down supplies for s'mores or just enjoy the company around the pit. They even have solar lights to light your path as you walk. The solar lights are throughout the dog park as well so you can enjoy your time at any point in the day. There are restaurants within walking distance and the hotel is in the perfect location to visit the Coral Pink Sand Dunes to Belly of the Dragon or Zion!

Friendly, clean and cute decor! This place is a must visit if you have fur babies! Such a beautiful place! Btw, we got a king suite and it's

Best hotel I've ever stayed in! The room was so modern, clean, comfortable, and stylish. The shades are automated, the lights are dimmable. The bathroom was really new and they had really nice shampoo, conditioner and body wash from CO Bigelow in the shower. At breakfast they offer delicious vegan zucchini bread and banana bread. There is a mercantile where you can buy clothes and other items. I bought a really soft hoodie and joggers to support the animal shelter. The staff at the hotel are very friendly too. My dogs appreciated having the little dog park area to be able to wander off leash and they liked having the water bowls in the hotel room. If you are able to stay here, you are lucky!

One of the best hotel experiences of my life. This is an amazing stay even if you don't have a pet, but, for any pet owners visiting or passing through, this should be a no brainer. The staff are all so kind and friendly to you and your pet(s), they were calling our pup by his name by our second day. They also accommodated us checking in to our room(s) early twice during our stay (we moved from a regular room to a suite on our last night.) The rooms are designed smartly for pets, with a little mud room entry, dog pull out pets / alcoves, etc. The dog park is also great, I would love to take my pup there even if we weren't staying here. The other thing that blew me away is the quality of the construction and landscaping at the hotel. A lot of thought was put into the design throughout, from the steel and wood cabinetry to the beautiful sandstone countertops. Really it far exceeded our expectations in every way, we hope to be back soon.

If you're traveling with pets or even if you're not check out the Roadhouse. Vegan continental breakfast and free laundry and dog wash facilities. They have a king room that includes a kitchenette and a two story room that has bunk beds. All rooms are dog friendly but two rooms are cat friendly with cat trees and litter boxes. The atmosphere is very zen and so relaxing. You can book a tour of Best Friends that leaves from the Roadhouse. My only warning is there is no food delivery but there are plenty of places to eat close by and if you're going to Best Friends you can eat at the Angel Cafe

One of the best places I've ever stayed! We stayed here because we had plans to go to the sanctuary and it was so cool to see the sanctuary's reach on the community of Kanab and how they are integrated into the culture. A local band performed there on Saturday night and they had A lovely gift shop and coffee bar. Everyone who works there is so kind and everything is clean and beautiful. I loved the little touches, from the dog prints in the cement to the plaque in our room that introduced us to the horse featured on our wall. Whether or not you are coming with a pet or going to the sanctuary, you will have a great time here!

You will not find a friendlier hotel in all of Kanab! Very close to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and probably the coolest hotel I've ever stayed in! The staff is absolutely outstanding and the rooms & grounds are fantastic. Loved everything about it!!!

Don't get me wrong I really like the aesthetics of the decor and landscaping. The architecture is decidedly hip with all the wood trimmed posts and beams and the contemporary office are definitely striking and very COOL. However THE ROOMS ARE NOT COOL and not a dogs best Friend because this hotel cheaped out on air conditioners. There's a very tiny split ac unit that's not even big enough to cool down a van sized rv . Our room with the ac on set at its lowest temperature and highest fan setting couldn't keep our room below 80 degrees. The utter lack of ventilation makes all of these rooms fetid and uncomfortable fir humans and especially for dogs This hotel doesn't comply with basic habitability housing codes. Yes it was somewhat hot outside at 90 degrees when we visited but cmon they advertised it as air conditioned and it's required by state codes and we're paying for an air conditioned room at over $200 a night but yet it this place is NOT air conditioned--nor is it properly ventilated nor does it meet housing codes it's not so be advised! They definitely however spent money on room decor, landscaping and legal documents however. Another issue beyond air quality and basic HVAC is the check in. The checkin is intense requires signing forms actually requiring more signatures and initialing than buying a car or house. The legal documents upon checkin are three full pages of small print and you'll need an attorney just to check in. And the clerk rushes you through the dozen signatures which seemed very severe and pushy. Allow at least 15 minutes for check in as there's lots and lots of rules and instructions. I kinda wish that instead of the hotel spending big money on gadgets like electronically operated blinds and trick dimming lights and even an iPad that they considered the heating VENTILATION and COOLING as that's missing! For the most part there's a lot of lipstick on a avery hot pig here at Best Freinds however noble the cause of taking care of our dogs installing a real air conditioner is required. This place also fails on BASIC VENTILATION IS SUBSTANDARD--the fans are automatic and don't work. If you think this is just an anomaly and your room will be better think again--we looked at other rooms and they all have the same undersized ac and automatic fans. I guess if one wants a sauna experience this place works just bring your own cedar boards and you can have a schfitz with your best Freind!

Wonderful pet centric hotel. As good a hotel as any I have ever stayed. Wonderful, friendly staff. Great rooms. 5 Paws Up!

This a lovely hotel with a wonderful and friendly staff! We we were surprised at how clean it was for a place that allows dogs to stay. The only thing that would have put this over the top for me is if microwaves were in the rooms. We did have a fridge though and there is a microwave that everyone can use in the mercantile. If you are going to Kanab. This is the place to stay. Your fur babies will love it!

We stayed 4 days at the roadhouse while volunteering at the best friend sanctuary. The people there were so kind so genuine so fun so willing to bend over backwards and help. We love the wonderful zucchini bread, the kitten bingo night, how much they loved on our animals, the wonderful rooms and amenities. Everyone there was just phenomenal to work with. If you've never been there or have never volunteered or taken a tour of the best friend Sanctuary it's a must. It will change your view about taking care of God's creatures.

LOVED staying at Best Friends Roadhouse! First of all, it's gorgeous. The design of the buildings, rooms, and dog park were so pretty. The landscaping is beautiful. The view is incredible. This all made our stay so much better. Staff are really nice and super friendly to our dog. It was so nice to have our dog with us, have amenities just for her, and not worry about her being a nuisance. The rooms were great! Loved the design and the bathroom was really nice. My one complaint is that the beds aren't super comfortable so that's something to keep in mind. Fortunately, the black out shades in the room helped me sleep well. Make sure to set an alarm because the sun won't wake you up in there!

I'm a member of the best friends animal society so that's how I heard of this spot. Now that you know that I love dogs.. this place is amazing. For the dogs: - big comfy dog bed - water and food bowls - 2 dog areas - gift shop/ cafe - you can get your BFAS swag here and dog balls because you forgot yours at home! For the humans: - vegan breakfast on the house (loved the banana bread) - comfortable bed! - spacious room - ample parking Great customer service! Support your good time and the sanctuary by booking your stay here!

This place is one of the best places we have ever stayed at. Staff are super friendly and helpful in recommending go-to places in the area. Baked goods are offered for breakfast and they are very tasty and great for taking on the go. The Roadhouse is very centrally located to national parks, state parks, points of interest and various trails. We were able to enjoy our stay with our four legged family member without having to worry about our pet being there. Site has a very convenient laundry room and a pet grooming/washing room. It was very helpful after getting back from a long day of hiking to wash red dust and dirt off.

We fell in love with this hotel a year ago and decided to stay here again. The rooms are comfortable and decorated beautifully. This part of the world is so fantastic it's nice to have a favorite place to stay!

Love this hotel & the animal rescue organization that runs it. The hotel is an incredible deal -- the hotel is pretty new, the rooms are all very well designed with tech integrated into the rooms. Very clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Unparalleled PET FRIENDLY hotel. There's a huge, beautiful DOG PARK at the hotel with grass, a dog play fountain and more. The rooms come with dog beds and water / food bowls. The dog park was never crowded - we could easily find times to have it to ourselves. There's a second dog park for small dogs too. Great breakfast included - there's a little coffee shop on site where you can order coffee, juice & breakfast for free (baked goods, fruit, cereal, oatmeal etc)

Did a little shopping at the Mercantile! You have to get your swag if you're gonna volunteer! Everyone was super friendly. Planning to stay at the hotel the next time.

Road Trip You have to stay here if you have a dog! the dog amenities aren't the only awesome thing about this hotel; the staff are amazing, the rooms are high tech, and it's a great location. Now let's talk dog amenities.... the rooms have a pull out dog bed, which was adorable and they have food and water dishes that you dog have to ask for. The hotel has an indoor dog wash station that is free and has the shampoo, towels and hair dryer also free. The hotel also has the cutest fenced in dog park. As far as human comforts... there were so many little things that I loved. the black make up remover wash clothes; the best black our shades I've ever used, which were controlled by the touch of a button; they had laundry with laundry detergent that was free of use for guests; the vegan homemade baked goods; they had a fire out back and music every night for hotel guests to mingle; the comfortable bed and friendly staff. We had a great time here and wish there were more hotels like this one across the nation.

Super friendly staff and lots of fun things to buy. We popped in to check it out and ended up spending more time (and $) than we planned on- but it was for a great cause.

Amazing place to stay in Kanab! The special details and kind staff make this place so special. We stayed in the 2-story suite which was laid out perfectly for our family of four. Everything is so stylish and nice and the pet friendly details are all throughout the beautiful property. It's close to everything! We did Zion / Bryce NPs and volunteered at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. We had a sleepover with the world's most loving cat (please adopt Goldie!) which made the trip so special. Kanab is the cutest town and everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend staying at the roadhouse!!

This is the best hotel I've ever visited! The rooms are clean and gorgeous, and there are so many thoughtful touches. Best of all, we were able to host a sleepover with an adoptable dog from the sanctuary. Thanks for an unforgettable trip; we can't wait to come back!!

Unfortunately, we could only get away for one night to Kanab. Very thankfully we choose to spend that night at the Best Friends Roadhouse. As a longtime dog owner my expectation level of "pet friendly" hotels is definitely suboptimal. Basically, if you let my dog stay and don't charge an exorbitant pet fee, I'm okay with your hotel. Cold water, dirty room, run down grounds are all ok as long as my dogs are with me. When I saw the exterior photos of the Roadhouse I was expecting very little, it reminded me of dozens of old motels I have suffered through before for my dogs. What I ended up blew me away. I have never been at a hotel that was so well thought out not only for dogs, but for people as well. The first thing you notice when you come in is a double door entryway. As the owner of a dog that is scared of everything and has a tendency to dart away when surprised I am always scared of doors and the potential for disaster. It also creates an easy option if you need to feed dogs separately due to food aggression. If you call ahead of time to make your reservation they will have your dogs name written out on a cute sign next to two metal dishes on a little mat to prevent a mess from occurring (sorry Roadhouse, the size doesn't work for hounds, we tried our best to contain their mess). There is also a dog bed that slides under the bed. My beagle found it convenient as a launching pad to get up on the king sized bed. Why sleep on a dog bed when you can take over the entire big bed. The human focused aspects of the room were also well thought out. The lights are all push buttons with varying brightness levels. When you turn off the nightstand lights there is a delay of approximately 3 seconds to get adjusted before plunging into darkness. The bathroom has sliding barn doors that are quite heavy and challenging for a hound to open on their own, always a plus. There is also a bedside iPad that is handy and has some nice information available on it. Make sure you figure out how to turn the brightness down as it burns as bright as the sun at 3am and the best solution I could up with in the moment was to put it upside down on the ground. The dog park was very well designed, a perfect size where the dogs can explore without being overwhelmed. It has multiple surfaces (grass, smooth rock, small rock) and variable heights that allow the dogs to explore without getting bored easily. The splash pad is automatic controlled by sensors on the fence. I am a horrible human being so I was greatly amused when my beagle kept on getting scared when she step on the back of the splash pad and then get near the middle and it would start up causing her to take off like a rocket. One thing that really shocked me is how clean the entire grounds were. I only saw one pile of "dog deposits" that someone had not cleaned up. I am used to treating dog parks like a North Korean land mine field. The other amenity we used was the dog bath which like the rest of the facility was very nice. It unfortunately was not quite as well thought out. Two easy changes would make it much more useful. First, some kind of aprons available so you don't look like you took a bath along with your dog. The second thing that would be helpful would be an anchorable slip lead on the dog baths. When your 55 pound coonhound decides he doesn't want a bath it can be a little challenging trying to restrain him while applying shampoo and rinse him. My dogs are staring at me wondering when they can come back for a longer visit. The staff was wonderful, giving my coonhound the attention he craves so badly, while at the same time giving my scared beagle the space she desperately needs. We will certainly be back soon for a longer visit. We might even explore the surrounding area of Kanab instead of restricting ourselves to Dog Nirvana!

My husband and I stayed here with our Australian Shepherd for 2 days and it was the best dog friendly hotel we've ever been to! Free parking, no additional dog fees, thoughtful designs of the hotel rooms with dog and cats in mind - including double doors (like at dog parks), clean dog beds, water bowls (which are a little small but still nice), cat play area/toy. Additionally, there's a huge dog park for the dogs to run around as well as a pet spa area if you need to wash your pet! They also have crates free of charge if you leave your dog while you go out (or if your dog isn't crate trained and is good staying alone they can be left alone). In addition, the hotel itself is aesthetically pleasing. Our room had a sofa in addition to the bed, TV, clean bathroom and towels, fancy shampoos/lotion, and beautiful views of the mountains! Walking distance to the Kenab bakery and other take-out options. Free breakfast from 7-9am including coffee and baked goods, and the store includes souvenirs/pet supplies/drinks and supports Best Friends Sanctuary, which is a great organization. The hotel is also near some hiking (Squaw trail) as well as Best Friends Sanctuary which has free tours of their enormous property or you can sign up for a volunteer shift. Would recommend even for people without pets!

Book this hotel immediately even if you don't have a pet! The rooms are spacious and comfortable with high-tech features that make it effortless to find things to do nearby. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The property also includes fun amenities like a park with a splash pad, free diy pet spa and laundry as well as a darling store with fun merchandise to spoil your pets. We will definitely be back!

We LOVED our stay here with our 2 pups. Everything was so well thought out for humans AND pups. Such a unique stay and totally centered around pups visiting. Everything was beyond perfect from the front desk staff, to the sweet little pullout dog trundle beds Our room was so clean and beautifully decorated with a very pet friendly layout. 10/10 would recommend the roadhouse to anyone staying in the area with, or without a furry friend.

Stayed here with husband and two older pups during a road trip. What an oasis! The staff was friendly but not overly up in your biz and the room was clean, cozy, and well-designed. The hotel property itself was super cute and full of fun dog-friendly features. I hope this concept goes national because it would definitely be my hotel of choice were it in more locations.

Stayed there for two nights and it was delightful. Great pet friendly hotel, beautiful looking, amazing location. Everyone working there was nice and helpful. The have a mud room in the room which helps a lot when you have pets coming from the outside (snow weather in our case). There are dog beds incorporated in the beds, a dog park, a dog cleaning facility... We stayed their with a dog from the Sanctuary for one night nut I look forward to go back with my own dog! Bonus: their vegan zucchini bread is so so good!

This hotel was amazing, clean, and great to stay in. The staff was pleasant and nice. We will definitely be back next time we're in Kanab!

I am not one to write reviews, but I was so blown away by this place I had to come and make sure everyone knows how amazing it is. Luckily for me, lots of people have already done that! Everything the others say about this place is true. It's amazing for dogs, it's amazing for people. Absolutely beautiful, convenient and practical property and rooms. Staff is amazing. Rooms are absolutely incredible and beautiful AND convenient. Probably one of the nicest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in (and I grew up staying in Hyatt hotels because my mom was an employee). The cost for a room this nice where I am from would easily go for $400-500 a night. Can't believe how lucky we're were to have stumbled upon this gem. We booked one night and ended up staying three. And if you're an animal lover, make sure you plan for plenty of time to explore Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, conveniently located down the road, and book your tours ahead of time. Will be back ASAP. Thanks Best Friends!!!!

I was absolutely blown away at how amazing our stay was. I knew it would be a special experience taking a trip with our pup. But we never could have imagined a hotel like this. So warm and welcoming, and understanding when our pup would have a bark or two as she got comfortable. The property was gorgeous and so well taken care of and decorated. To say the least by the end of our trip we wish we would've added more time onto our trip. We were sad to go but can't wait to return. If you will be traveling to the area you should definitely stay here and that is with or without your pet. You won't regret it!

I can't say enough great things about this amazingly cute hotel property. We traveled without our dog and still loved the vibe, the cleanliness, and the staff. And the sales from the gift shop help their animal sanctuary. Highly recommend staying here. It is so close to Zion and also not too far from Bryce. Super clean rooms and really cute grounds.
