Canyon Lodge Motel

I generally don't stay in cheap motels because of their reputation, but this one was a convenient stop on my way down to southern Utah. Although a rather old property and looking dated from the outside, the interior had modern, clean furnishings, including a microwave, coffee maker and fridge. I arrived late on a cold winter's night and no one was in the office requiring a call for the host to walk over from a nearby residence, taking less than 5 minutes. The room had a light on and was pleasantly heated. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of pillows and warm clean linens. There was a small table and wooden chair for sitting, but not very comfortable. The wood night stands were old and losing their finish but functional. There were enough multi-outlets for charging my phones and computer, not sure if there was wifi because I didn't have time or the need to use it. The bathroom was very clean, but quite small, in fact I could probably shave and brush my teeth while on the toilet because the sink jutted out over the toilet seat. There was also no shelf or counter top around the sink, so no place to place a toiletry bag. The climate control functioned well even though it was a floor furnace and didn't have a fan for white noise. This wasn't a problem because the adjacent guests were quiet, but the walls were pretty thin and had there been noisy guests, I can see where this would be a major issue. The TV was new and had plenty of news, movie and sports channels. There is a gas station/convenience store catty-corner to the motel. For $40, I think this was an exceptional value. Suggestions for management include reprinting the sign on the office door with the host's phone number because it was fading and difficult to read at night, putting up a shelf in the bathroom, and possible providing a fan for white noise while sleeping; otherwise doing a great job with the facilities.

We stayed here 2 nights while visiting Bryce Canyon. We weren’t sure what to expect when we drove up to an 11 room motel. My husband and I hadn’t stayed in a motel since we were kids. Our teen boys were a little skeptical. We opened the door to an incredible little treasure. The room was completely renovated. There were even USB outlets for all our electronics. The over-sized glass block shower was awesome. The room was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Loved this place.

Wonderful & clean motel close to Bryce Canyon. Owner was so friendly and helpful when we checked in! We stayed in a newly renovated room (#9) which had the most comfortable mattresses out of our entire road trip. Shower was the only thing that was not newly updated, but it worked, was clean, and had hot water. Was very pleased.

Family ran buissness with great hospitality and attitude. My mom and I were traveling to Cedar City but got caught in a snow storm and decided to bunker down for the night. We arrived late in the day with no notice but Lisa took care of us and gave us one of the renovated rooms- I think 11. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and large. If I were in the area again I'd definitely stay here again.

We booked the room with two queen beds. The room was recently renovated so it looked fresh and clean. The fridge and microwave was nice to have. 15-20 minute drive into Bryce Canyon. There’s a cute cafe across the street that serves good espresso drinks, pastries, and empanadas. It was a very comfortable stay.

My wife and I stayed here on short notice. While Room 5 (King) is dated by most standards, the room was clean and absolutely odor free... not even a scent of Downy, Febreze, etc. We both appreciated that the most. The heat worked fine and satellite tv is provided. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great little stay. We arrived late at night and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Check in only took 2 minutes. We stayed in the 3 bedroom family suite. The rooms were clean and comfy and we appreciated having the charging ports at each bedside table. Happy to find this place near a great ice fishing spot, Panguich lake.

We spent two nights here in mid-September when we hiked at Cedar Breaks National Monument. Check in was the only time we saw anyone in the office. All other times it was locked with a note to call for help. Think the managers are handling multiple motels. This was not a big problem but could be if help was needed quickly. We travel a lot, and in my opinion, the room was quite small. And it was touted as ‘deluxe’! With two queen beds, a desk and chair, and other furniture, it was difficult for two people to share the same space without one having to move out of the way. Amenities included a frig, microwave, hairdryer, iron/board, but no coffee maker. There was one luggage rack, so one of us had to put her suitcase on the floor. Linens were clean, white, and inviting! ||||The bathroom was a tale of two extremes. Part of it looked newly remodeled with nice flooring, paint, and fixtures, although the sink had no counter space for personal toiletries. The shower part was much older and dated; the pink tile was a dead giveaway to its age! It was quite dark and small, and there seemed to be mold or mildew growing in the grout. Someone should get in there with a spray bottle of bleach and soak everything!!! Hopefully there are plans to remove this existing shower and replace it with something more updated—and clean! The bathroom had some wasted space that could be used for this.||||There was no breakfast offered.

Cute hotel in a cute town. We were here for one night between national parks and it was fine. We did not have one of the remodeled rooms but our room was good. A teeny bit small but for one night not a big deal. Bathroom was pretty large - would have appreciated a small table or something to hold our toiletries as there really wasn't anyplace big enough to put them near the sink. Comfy bed, room was clean and the location was quiet. We had the added bonus of cute kittens staring in our window from the bench outside. Took all our will power not to take one home! Note - alot of places in town are closed on Sundays.

Stayed one nite in this local family owned small motel. Room was nice and clean with microwave, fridge, coffee maker, flat screen TV, hair dryer, etd. The room and bathroom were obviously recently totally remodeled. The woman that checked us in was exceptionally nice, friendly and helpful. Also gave us a discount on her rates which were fair to start with. Nice place to stay on your way to the National Parks. If you like to support a locally owned and operated business with wonderful owners - this is the place.

A small gem in the cute town called Panguitch, Utah. A little about me: solo traveler from California on my way to Arches National Park. Southern Utah and its lovely residents always leave me wanting to come back for more. Lisa is the owner of the Canyon Lodge Motel, so helpful, honest and just a lovely person all around. She allowed me to see all her available rooms before deciding to get the newly renovated #6 (i believe they're mostly all renovated) .... New carpet, new furniture in the room as well as the bathroom: new shower, new floors and cabinetry. VERY clean, safe and quiet !!! Wish I lived closer ... I'd come every other month !! Thank you Lisa for making my one night stay so cozy and comfy... Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors !!

Super cute place with nice renovated room. Lisa and her kids are super sweet and made us feel at home.

On a busy Friday night we were in a bind, as our Airbnb reservation had failed. Luckily the sweet owner stepped away from her family to give us a nice and newly renovated room late at night. The renovated room was modern and more importantly comfy, cozy, and clean.

We stopped in to grab a room for the night and drive up to Bryce the next morning. We stayed in 1 of the remodeled units. Very clean and cozy. This is a mom and pop so not your run of the mill motel room. Young man that checked us in late was very polite and friendly. Wife and I were very happy. Sorry we're so late on the review ( was a couple months ago ).

Everything here is so amazing! SUPER friendly staff its also the CLEANEST motel/hotel ive ever stayed in! The beds are so comfy!! Its in the middle of the town which is really nice! I will definitely stay here again!

For a hiker it's great. When campsites are full come relax for the best rate near the best National Parks. Not fancy of course but fridge , microwave, ice machine, killer deal for what one park almost charges to get in. Front desk attendant, young man was super helpful and friendly.

Stayed here three nights for the Panguitch Balloon Rally. Very family oriented establishment, super friendly staff. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. It's an older motel, like most in Panguitch, but in good repair. Great location for the balloon rally and good spot to base out of for day trips to the surrounding sites. We loved the balloon rally, will return next year and definitely will stay here again.

Clean, friendly, comfortable. Imperfect rooms give off the personality of staying in someone's home rather than your average motel cell. Refreshingly reasonable rate. Danish and coffee for breakfast. Convenient drive to Bryce Canyon NP.

This motel Accommodated us last minute with a small dog, we were very grateful for that since our trip was unexpected. When we first pulled up we were a little hesitant, the building is older so you never know what you will get with something like that. We were pleasantly surprised, the room was very clean and cozy, no weird smells or anything. For $79 a night it's a pretty good deal. The only con I have is that The owner could make this a pretty cute little motel in Panguich. Things definitely need updating, its several decades behind.

Stayed at this comfortable friendly lodge for two nights. The lodge is family run and super nice. The accommodations are old school but clean and up to date. Large patch of grass right outside the front door for our dog to relax on in the AM and PM. Highly recommend this motel.

Lovely motor lodge in Panguitch. Innkeeper Lisa and her kids are so nice! Superior room is all renovated and has great AC. I would definitely return.

On vacations, one expects comfort and a welcoming vibes from your accommodations and we were not disappointed by Canyon Lodge.  We called ahead to notify of our late arrival and the front desk graciously left our key in our room, no need to check-in after hours.  Upon arrival the outside of the motel gives the impression that you might be entering an era of times past, however the room was pleasantly updated.  The room included a plush bed, soft and clean carpet, wonderful amenities (USB charging ports, flat screen TV, beautiful artwork), and a great heating system that kept the room warm despite the cold temps outside.  Even though breakfast isn't included, you are a very short walking distance to coffee shops (Rise and Shine) and breakfast spots (Cowboy Smokehouse Cafe).  Overall, we we're very happy this motel wasn't your typical hotel experience...it was better.  Thank you Canyon Lodge!!!

Here is mold in the showers coming thru the caulking, and boarded up next to the air conditioning unit, no coffee filer but a machine and coffee grounds, they gave us 2 different checkout times, the place is half updated. I could barely get through to the bathroom because the bed was too close so no walking space... only 2 bath towels and 3 adults, and no one in the office to ask for more towels, the curtain covers the a/c unit. It's definitely not handicap equipped at all. The mattresses were rock hard and very old and no mattress cover. It was awful. I will never stay here again.

Expect a bed to have both a fitted sheet AND top sheet. Instead spent night covered by a thin blanket that God only knows who, did what on. Also found young lady at reception desk less than enthusiastic with our occupancy...somewhat short if not tart.

We cannot imagine how this motel ranked number 3 in Panguitch It is in great need of maintenance and cleaning. The tub was so bad we wouldn't shower in it. There was no air conditioning and when we opened the window the track looked like it had never been cleaned. Things needed paint. The sheets looked clean so we stayed but would definitely not recommend it.

The place was very nice. We really liked the size of the room and the space. The price was right. There is food nearby and there is a good wifi signal. The food isnt open later than 10pm so make sure you give yourself time to eat. The staff was friendly, seemed to be family owned. They have ice inside just ask for it. The room was really clean and actually had shampoo and conditioner unlike a lot of other places i stayed. (i didnt think so many places dont have both or forget to refill). They have a cute little notebook in which people can write about their vacations and their stays at the Motel. we read it and it was nice, really nice warming touch. Either way this was one of my best stays of the last vacation.

Just what I needed for a quick stop over before hitting Bryce Canyon for sunrise. Clean, basic accommodations and coffee maker in the room! Big win for me when I got up at 5 am. Owners are very nice, helped sort out a last minute booking issue.

Quaint, but clean. The bed wasn't the best. We rolled to the middle. The bathtub looks like they've tried to scrape it, but gave up. Walls of the shower were pretty broke up. The room cost $43 total, so I think you get what you pay for. I've stayed in worse. I'd probably stay again.

Clean but needs sprucing up. Bare bones in amenities. Good water pressure. $79 rate.

Though this hotel is old, our room had been completely and tastefully updated with a new bathroom, and new carpet and paint. The bed was very comfortable and everything was absolutely spotless and new. The addition of a deadbolt would be welcome for room security. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again anytime!
