Capitol Reef Resort

Capital reef resort was conveniently located just outside Capital Reef National park. The resort offered regular hotel rooms, cabins, TeePees and covered wagons. The amenities included a Gym, Jacuzzi, pool, Laundry, ice, vending, fire pit, restaurant, and a gift shop. The hotel rooms were very clean and well stocked with Linen, personal toiletries and a coffee station. Our room had a balcony and the views were amazing. See pics below. The resort also offered llama corral and horse stables. The price was reasonable, considering it was located just outside a national park. This is a family owned resort and well worth the stay.

Beautiful location, close to many attractions, lots of wild life from our back patio. The room was nice,but nothing to get excited about. The resturant was just ok. Since it was winter many things were closed for the season. We realized that before we went and prepared. Having stayed at the sister resorts on Florida and Wyoming we were expecting the same quality, sadly it is not up to those standards.

Very nice quiet place. Room was very spacious, clean, nice shower, bed, and amenities. We stayed in one of the small cabin types - an independent structure. Would have loved to sit on the porch or by the fire and enjoy the views with a coffee or drink, but we were wiped tired. Room was a bit warm. Sort of nice considering it was getting cold, but it wound up too warm for me. I don't even want anyone to know about Capitol Reef, the most enjoyable part of our visit was the quiet and few people. It was my favorite place of our trip.

This is a lovely place. Not posh or upscale, but perfect for the location. The staff were friendly, funny, and helpful. The food was surprisingly good, and you cannot find a better location for Capitol Reef or Bryce Canyon actually. The drive on 12 is amazing and this resort literally blew everything in Bryce Canyon away. Comfort, staff, food, drinks, absolutely worth the drive from Bryce Canyon.

‘Resort’ is NOT as described. This stop was meant to be one of the highlights of our trip based off what we saw online, it turned out to be the worst. We booked for 2 nights in the balcony queen rooms, they were dark, dusty and nothing like the photos. We complained to reception who didn’t look surprised. The only resolution offered was an upgrade to the cabins (which were better) at the price of an additional $200 per night ON TOP of what we had already paid! The surrounding restaurants and in the town aren’t great, on site hot tub was large and decent for the cold nights. Ultimately, we ended up checking out the next morning due to the cold reception from staff, disappointment in the ‘resort’ and not wanting to pay another $100 for the next night. We complained to the new management (as of Nov. 2025) about the stay and were given just $45 back for our troubles. Please keep all this in mind before booking, you are staying in a Motel with a few more facilities, not a resort, especially at the prices. (Mid-November stay)

We stayed in a standard king room for one night on a quick trip to the park. The hotel is very convenient to the park entrance and the scenery out the back of our room was beautiful. The room itself was quite dated-90’s/early 2000’s decor, tired and dark. Clean enough, but glad we didn’t plan a multiple night stay. |If I was traveling with kids, I would appreciate the horses and Llamas guests can walk over to visit along with the pool, hot tub and fire pit. We didn’t use any of those amenities. |Restaurant was disappointing. The menu was limited and they were still out of at least 7 items early on a Friday evening. Food was edible but not good. We got “to go” coffee from the restaurant on our way out of town and couldn’t drink it. It was the worst coffee! |Overall, not a terrible place, but needs some improvement. I would not stay again.

Views were amazing!!! Room was clean and nice but definitely over priced. We headed offsite to breakfast, came back and hotel staff were in our room which was pretty weird as we hadn’t checked out yet. Dinner was pretty good but overpriced as well. Ribeye with onions was served hot and tasted good but was the strangest we’ve ever tasted. The texture was super rubbery and seemed like the meat was boiled in salt water brine ???

This is like an upscale motel. We were able to park literally outside our door to our room. Unfortunately, the walls are thin so easy to hear neighbors, thankfully ours were relatively quiet. Price was very reasonable. Very close to capitol reef national park. Rooms were clean. Views are amazing from the rooms.

Hiking Capitol Reef in the Winter, this place was one of the few restaurants predictably open. Prices were fair. The food was homecooking-tastic! And the warm & friendly service was day-brightening (also predictable, we ate here like 4 times in a few days, and each person was kind & down-to-earth. The place, this heavenly place, is a trip-savior. Cheers!

This was a complete disappointment. The website is misleading. The photos make it look absolutely gorgeous and set the wrong expectations. The grounds are like one big parking lot with random buildings, a pool, some teepees, etc. The standard rooms are like rundown motel rooms, though the view is great. The room is clean but needs a major renovation. The bathroom faucet is barely attached to the sink. The beds are hard. The kitchenette has seen many better days. One of the cabinets is even missing a handle. I do appreciate the laundry room, where we were able to catch up on laundry from our extended roadtrip. Thankfully we're only staying one night. It definitely feels like a sad stopover rather than a destination.

This is our third visit to the resort. Our room wasn't ready at 3pm so we were told to come back at 4pm the guaranteed time. We came back at 4:30pm and stood in line for another 20 minutes as there were 7 other guests waiting to check in. Our room was OK. except for hearing the guests upstairs above us walking back and forth until late. We thought we would eat in the dining room. but there was a huge waiting time. So, we went across the street and glad we did. When we got up in the morning the Kuerig coffee maker was out in our room. We went to the front desk and were told to go in the restaurant for a cup of coffee, and of course we would have to pay for it. I am thinking of a better experience elsewhere in the future.

The motel staff was friendly, the beds were comfy and rooms were clean. Great location for visiting Capitol Reef National park. Would definitely stay here again. I hate saying anything bad about places but the restaurant onsite was terrible! I ordered nachos and it looked like someone threw some chips and shredded cheese and popped it in the microwave. But please don't let this dissuade you from staying here. The motel itself is awesome!!!

We went during the off season so I can't tell u anything about the teepees or fire pits. But this is a nice, clean well run hotel. The views from the balcony r fantastic and u r just minutes away from the park. They charge u the $50 additional fee, which I don't like but u can use it in the restaurant, which was 1 of the few opened. Dinner was good the nite we stayed there. I had some delicious baked trout and my husband had a chicken dish that was also good. The peach cobbler was fantastic. Breakfast was also very good.

Room was clean but needed some attention. Basic king room was $220 with tax seems a little high for the area. Door did not seal well so you could hear the driveway noise outside. Curtains had holes in them, cabinets were missing handles and the flush mechanism on the toilet was broken.

We stayed in one of the wagons which was a cute experience and came with its own separate (maybe 30 feet away) bathroom and shower. Bathrooms are very very nice. Amazing views. The problem is the noise. You are close to your neighbors with just the canvas between you and most of the guests here had no respect, drunkenly talking outside the fire pit until 11pm (posted quiet hours start at 10) and then waking up at 6am screaming at each other across wagons (hey honey where are my shoes?!? They're in the bag!!!! Ok thanks!!!!!). You can hear everything be warned because most guests are oddly rude. Maybe the staff can remind people how to act ;) The wagons move a lot in the wind which is to be expected but we didn't think of that ahead of time. Beds are comfy. I would rate this place higher except for the noise. The staff was nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Not enough plugs for a digital family of four but not a big deal. Good restaurants across the street and super close to a truly beautiful park.

Word of the day is: definitely. It is situated in very scenic area over looking the reefs. It has on site restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch and dinner and also there is a pizzeria across the street. Few minutes drive up toward south also has several restaurants too. For this place, ended up getting a 1st floor unit in the back facing the reef and being an old motel like setting, you can park your vehicle right at the front. Pros of this is you are very close to your car just in case someone is trying to steal your catalytic converter. However, the noise of people slamming the doors or beeping noise from locking and unlocking cars were kinda annoying. If you are looking for the better view, ask for the room in the back side, preferably on the 2nd floor which are also the same level as the parking lot. There are several options to this resort but the part we stayed were definably a motel side. The furniture and such seems to be newer but definitely C rated or lower. The mattresses were probably the worst I had in last 10 years of travelling. The famous sag in the middle lumpy bad! It was nice seeing lots of pillows but they were all different colors. Some were quite yellow and you can still tell it from the darkly lit room. I bet it is the water in the area so I definitely did not drink the water from the tab. There were also signs of popped nail heads on the wall, chipped paints and exposed screw holes. Someone definitely took the drywall screws and kept it as memento. Definitely need lot more TLC. Rooms were dark with all the lights on. Lights were strategically placed to look very odd and didn't do a dang thing what lights suppose to do. Its the package of two lights for $30 at local box store special. It is situated very close to arches and hiking trails and that is a big plus. Don't be fooled by word Resort. Well, they do have hot tub, pool and exercise room. Is that considered as resort? At least they did not charge resort fees like Vegas hotels do. Do not let my super nice photo of the room fool you. It definitely does not represent what you actually feel.

Disappointed in this place for several reasons. The room was old and smelled musty, with stained chairs in the room and old, gross worn down arms on the armchair making you not want to sit there. The lamp by the bed kept shorting out too, so you had to shake it every few minutes for it to work properly. Nice views of the red rocks out back and the size of the room was good, but it really needed a thorough cleaning, update and TLC. The pool was disappointedly small and old, and full of kids. The website makes this place look a lot nicer than it is. We were also disappointed that we couldn't get our money back for our last night there because we requested it one hour too late apparently, a few days prior. When asked if we could appeal to a manager, the young girl at the counter couldn't provide us with a name and just kept saying "unfortunately not". The next day another desk clerk gave us 2 cards for the front desk managers but the emails didn't work and weren't accurate, then we got the correct emails the day after and as of 2 days later still had no answer from either of the managers. This is extremely poor customer service and frankly unacceptable for a business, no matter where or in how small of a town you're located. Bottom line, I wouldn't stay here again and there are better places in town, esp. for the relatively high price of this place.

I've been to Capital Reef NP several times since 2015, this time we stayed at this Resort. Very nice place, the cabin we rented was a little pricey, but not bad. Very posh with nice beds and amenities, the restaurant was pretty good. Not alot of variety for dinner, but nice that you don't have to drive anywhere. Clean and comfortable, definitely would go back. The teepees looked cool along with the Conestoga wagons. The staff is pleasant and conscientious.

The resort was nice and clean with the uniqueness of the tee pees and covered wagons to really create a nice experience with the beautiful backdrop. We went horseback riding and it was fantastic. Mike was a great guide and teacher and the horses were great.

We stayed at the Capitol Reef Resort while visiting Capitol Reef National Park. When we first drove up we thought that it looked like a motel from the outside. We then noticed the TeePees and Chuck Wagons contained on the hotel property and learned that they were used as accomodations. When we checked in, we went to our room and were very pleased with the modern, updated room we had. We had a bedroom and a living room with TVs in each. There was a rear door in the room that opened up to the property with endless views of the red roocks. There was alsoa fire pit lit each night between 6 PM and 10 PM where guets could mingle and make smores. I have to say that I can highly recommend Capitol Reef resort as the place to stay when you are in the area of Torrey Utah

A lot of choices for you to sleep here including a variety of Hotel rooms, teepees, wagons and cabins. We are staying in a hotel room which is the least interesting of the group but with a bathroom within the room- it's fine for us. People in the Teepees and wagons all have assigned private bathrooms at a short walk from their living quarters that they say are the nicest and cleanest bathrooms they've ever seen. Meeting people and chatting around the fire pits has been very fun as well. We have not tried the restaurant on premises but the Rim Restaurant across the street has been top notch for dinner. All and all a great place to stay.

Great experience overall. Clean facilities and accommodations. Lovely excursions available if you choose to participate. I did the Llama hike and horseback riding. The Jeep's were down so we could not to the tour. One tip is to ensure all fire pits are working - the one closest to our wagon was not, but there were two clo

Very convenient to Capitol Reef National Park. Motel style, which made loading and off loading luggage very convenient. Pool and restaurant on site. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Not fancy but perfectly fine. Our balcony had a wonderful view. Recommended.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Capitol Reef Resort on a recent road trip over Easter weekend. We wanted to be as close to Capitol Reef National Park as possible and this fit the bill. While the outside of the resort was not as "fancy" as the website makes it out to be, our room was spotless. The toiletries were heavenly. I loved the goat milk soap so much that I requested another one at the front desk. We were thankful that the restaurant was open on Easter. We got take out and brought it to our room. They even threw in a free serving of ice cream, since it was my birthday. There are a few restaurants in the town of Torrey, but we were too tired to explore the town. The front desk staff was very helpful. I had a lot of questions about which route to take back to Arizona and they provided a lot of great information. This resort offers cool activities such as horseback riding and llama walks. We didn't have time on our short trip to try those activities. Next time!

This place is the ultimate bait & switch! I dont usually get that with hotels, what you see online is usually what you get and you usually can tell between motel/inns vs mid price vs luxury resorts. Capital Reef "Resort" fooled me. It's more like Capital Reef "Motel". It's too good to be true! The photos online make it look so luxurious in the middle of the desert?!?! The moment I walked in it smelled stuffy and moldy. The carpet was dirty. You can feel how old and used everything was. Peeling tables and cabinets. The ceiling of the bathroom is yucky. The bed sunk in and the pillows and so soft and mush! I could NOT wait to get outta here. It made me feel so dirty staying here overnight and I did not sleep well at all. The attached photo from their website made it look so luxurious like you will get high quality sheeting and bedding. Could not be more fake! We stayed on the ground level in the main building and the people upstairs were stomping around. You can hear it when they turned on their shower. Paper thin walls. Oh yeah, I would be careful using their hair dryer. The one I had was zapping blue electricity out..scary! Very old and used amenities. The on site restaurant however had good food. This place also offers Llama hike and Jeep tours which my husband and I did. There are other hotels around town. It's a small little town and not as deserted as I thought it would be with several restaurants nearby. I would recommend staying elsewhere.

Capitol Reef Resort is a unique property. Our tour had rooms on the lower rooms with wonderful views. We walked around the property and saw the teepees, cabins and Conestoga wagons. There is a type of accommodation for most everyone. The breakfast was very good.

Don't be duped by the pictures on the hotel's website. This place should not be advertised as a resort. Granted, the backdrop of this roadside hotel is magnificent, but unfortunately the regular hotel rooms are nothing but mediocre. The place meets basic necessities but overall the hotel is dated and tired. We were lead by the website for much more...

Without being political at all, I have to call this place a RINO - Resort In Name Only. Resort in no way describes the place. The rooms are outside entrance - think old, cheap motel. We were put on the second floor in what appears to be the original building. There is no elevator, so seniors or those with much luggage, beware. We lugged our bags up the rusty steel and cracked concrete stairs, to our room, only to find that my key card did not work. Luckily, my wife's did. The room was very dimly lit, with one low wattage ceiling fixture and two table lamps. The bulbs must be 40 watt incandescents - they emit yellow light, and are very warm to the touch, so not LEDs. Our air conditioner rattled, but not as loudly as the room's next door. There is no room thermostat, just a rotary dial on the wall floor unit. The TV is is a 32" DYNEX brand with a dull screen. The parking lot is half no-parking, not sure why. For 16 rooms on the two floors next to and facing the highway, there are five parking spaces. The furniture in the lobby is two decrepit leather loveseats. The pool and gym are tiny. The gym is in a cramped standalone building. There are apparently some newer rooms, but I wouldn't take a chance on getting a room last updated in the 1970s. Needless to say, I would not return and hope that no one else falls for the stellar Travelocity rating. Oh, remember to check out at the front desk to retrieve the $50 'resort fee' if you didn't use it in the gift shop or restaurant. The beds were OK, but otherwise what a dump.

On an impromptu trip to Goblin Valley and Capitol Reef, the original plan was to camp. After hiking fifteen miles and realizing we were looking at below freezing temperatures, we decided a hotel sounded like a much better idea. We reconciled ourselves to staying in straight-out-of-Trailer-Park-Boys Hotel Hanksville, but when we pulled in, found they had no vacancy. A frantic online search found Capitol Reef Resort was about an hour away in Torrey, Utah, and we quickly called to reserve. They had one room left (and it was cheaper than reserving through a third party site). Hurray! We arrived tired, cold, and perhaps a tad grouchy, but the young man at the front desk was friendly and sweet as could be. He gave us a packet of papers showing the upcoming weather, activities (fire pit with s'mores!), map, hours for the hot tub (pool is closed in the off season), a menu for the attached restaurant, Pioneer Kitchen, and more! A small convenience store with souveniers, books, snacks, medication, and other sundries resides in the lobby. We opened the door to our room, and were hit with the most delightful warm air! I do not know if this was intentional, but they had turned up the heat full blast, and it felt so cozy and comforting after a chilly evening. The space was clean, with plentiful storage, and a nice restroom. A Keurig and microwave are included. We had dinner and breakfast (a buffet for $10) at Pioneer Kitchen, and while not amazing, it was certainly convenient and satisfying enough. The comforter on the bed was too thin for me, and I ended up sleeping in my jacket, but am sure in the normal season it is fine. In the morning, we enjoyed the beautiful flame rock formations via our balcony, and while not required, I'd encourage you to pay a bit more for a room with access to one (or better yet: a yurt or conestoga wagon!). Check out was easy peasy, and again, the employee at the front desk was cheerful. I felt the price for our stay was very reasonable, but might be less inclined to think that way when they rise during popular times.

The most basic requirement we have when staying away from home is cleanliness. At first glance, the room (second story balcony, 2 queen-size beds) looked fine the floor was clean, the beds were clean and made, but the surfaces were not clean. The table had some type of red sauce o it. The bathroom counter had either lotion or toothpaste on it. The bedside table was dusty. We were able to clean it all with a wipe. The bathroom wallpaper was separating from the wall above the shower head. I also found a long brown hair in the shower. I'm bald, and my wife is short gray. Not one of ours.... I could hear the people in the next room more clearly than I can in most contemporary motels. The room was cozy and comfortable. I was reluctant to stay here because of previous reviews, but we took a chance. The staff at the desk were kind and friendly and helpful. The room was easy to access, close to where we parked. The views from the room were beautiful. We watched the sun set on the red rocks, immediately followed by the moon rise. Nice, but rough around the edges. I was disappointed in the housekeeping.

The view is 5 stars, the room is 3 stars, and the restaurant is a 2 stars. We stayed in a deluxe king room on the 2nd floor with a balcony that faced the national park. It was just breathtaking. The room was fine and the recliner suited us well. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and the food was so-so (Philadelphia steak sandwhich was dry, but eggs and bacon were good) and the service was not good. For breakfast, they completely forgot about us after they sat us in the corner. They did give us 50% off after I complained about the disgraceful service. Would definitely stay here again, but would be inclined to try the restaurant across the street.

This place has nothing to do with a resort, it's just a simple hotel, with moody and uneducated staff. The rooms are ok, (motel 6 quality) not resort quality. Their restaurant is a rip off. They do not know how to present a dish and they are unfamiliar with spices to flavor a dish. When asked for a side of yogurt and or an additional pancake they refuse to sell it, you must buy the entire plate, when I asked to not include certain items on the plate, they still do it because it's part of that plate. Highly uneducated staff in the kitchen The restaurant staff looks grumpy and act grumpy. To buss a table they dropped off food debris's to the floor and swept it up. They add gratuity to the check without informing the consumers. They get they own rate. This should be illegal.

So why only 3 stars? The room was showing its age and your desk clerks need additional training. Let me explain. I am a travel agent and I booked the room online through our portal. After booking, I realized I should have added an extra day but I figured I would just add it on during check-in. I was scheduled to check out on Sunday but we were staying until Monday so I did not think an extra day would be a big deal. Apparently, it was. I was told by the clerk that not only was the room I originally reserved booked for that extra day but the ENTIRE hotel was booked. I would have been happy to move to another room for one night, not a big deal, but I was told nothing was available. Yet, when I went online I found several rooms available both on my portal and booking.com (which charges more than my TA site). We changed hotels for our final night, they did not deserve anymore of my money. The view from the balcony rooms is great. No issue there. Their restaurant served a nice breakfast at a reasonable cost and the grounds seemed well maintained. If their front desk had not made it so difficult to extend my stay they would have gotten the 4th star and if their rooms were brought out of the 1980's they might manage the 5th. Overall, okay but pricy. You can save a few dollars by staying in other hotels in town. Look for my review of the Broken Spur.

This place looks great online, but after reading some of the reviews I was a little nervous. It's true that the photography and website design slightly misrepresents it, however, I have no complaints. My main concern was that my husband, who's requirements are a functional air conditioner and working wifi, would be comfortable as I dragged him out to the middle of very hot and arid Utah, and he was very satisfied. I was also happy with the accommodations, the views were spectacular, the food was good, there are fire pits and smores for those who want them. I disagree with those who state that it's overpriced, I was in one of the cabins and I felt like those were around what I would expect to pay for a similar room elsewhere.

I kind'of struggled with the rating for this place.... it's tough. I was between a 3 and a 4 but decided to go with a 3.5 on here. This spot is very close to Capital Reef National Park - which is why I booked it - with it being only a 15 or so minute drive to the entrance of the park so that was nice after a long drive from Bryce Canyon and Zion the day before. When we pulled in I was a bit worried because it looks like a shady motel from the outside but it isn't at all. Our room was charming, quiet, and well-kept. The beds were comfy and the views from out back were beautiful of the red sandstone. There are about four fire-pits in different sections and there are rooms that are super cute and kitschy like tents that look like teepees and some that are old pioneer wagons that look like they're from Oregon Trail. It's really neat. BUT - the photos on the website make this place look much, much nicer than it actually is. It's no bad. As I said, the rooms are well maintained and were nicer than they look from outside, it's clear it has been recently updated and renovated in the main room buildings. Still, this resort is fairly basic, the lobby and on-site dining options (breakfast buffet was dismal and we did not partake) are not that great, but it is unique and it is in a good location with gorgeous views close to the nearest town where you can get gas and food easily. It served the purpose.

This entire facility looks very new. It's in the middle of nowhere and looks like it may be the only lodging in town. Located near Capitol Reef National Park. There are several lodging options, ranging from standard hotel room, to tiny houses to covered wagons to tee-pees. There about 5 nightly bonfires burning with plenty of Adirondack chairs to sit in. There's an outdoor pool and hot tub. My room was a traditional hotel room with two queens beds. Very cozy and new and the "home on the range" style of decor. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot. Shower and rub in separate room from sink area. Buffett breakfast for $10.00 included eggs, bacon, potatoes, pineapple, cantaloupe, cereal, breads and french toast. Beautiful location, but a it's literally in the middle of nowhere. My cell phone service with Verizon was iffy.

Resort? I don't think so. But it's a nice hotel. The main buildings are old school style drive up and park at your door type deals. Yes, the interiors are nice and the mattresses comfy. We needed a room for one night before the Nat park and the wife booked it on some third party site. In our opinion this is closer to a $100 room but paid close to $200. Now if your the kind of traveler that likes to stay in some of the cabin rooms or wagon train rooms and price is not a consideration than you may feel this is a very nice full blown resort. We were happy customers and I recommend this hotel which very well may be the nicest one in Torrey!

This place was ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY AWESOME!! We were in teepee 606 for two nights and we both commented it was more 'luxurious' than many Marriotts and other high end hotels we've stayed in over the years. Admittedly it is glamping, not camping, but for my very first time sleeping outdoors, it was heavenly. Beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need for your stay. I could totally live here forever!! The 'campground' itself it laid out so that each kind of venue has its own fire pit and lovely Adirondack chairs to chat with your neighbors and gaze at the night sky. They even have s'more kits for $5. Sweet. The nicest part for me was the separate private bathroom accessible with a hotel room key. The wood keeps you warm in the evening when you have to get up at 4:00 am! Fully ADA which is great. I had to chuckle at the black facecloth, the second I've seen on our 7 day journey through Utah. It's for makeup! What a great idea. The Beverly Hills Hilton should take note!! Had the soup and salad at the restaurant..nothing too fantastic there, but the accommodations more than made up for it. A word to the wise. Glamping is just like camping. Remember there are folks who have been hiking all day. Quiet time starts at 10 pm...be respectful. Same with early mornings. Don't let your kids run around everyone else's teepee to give them their daily exercise; it's not your backyard. Just off 24 so no crazy long ride to get into Capitol Reef. This was such a spectacular experience. I loved every minute of it!!!!!

We stayed here one night as part of our pit stop on the way to the Arches.  Capitol Reef Resort worked out perfectly.  We got a room on the 2nd floor with two full size beds and a window with a bit of view of the Capitol Reef.  It was very convenient to have a microwave and fridge in our room as we had leftovers from lunch at a cafe nearby.  After a 4 hour hike with the on site llamas the shower was strong and perfect.  Early evening we took a walk to the shared fireplace and checked out the teepees and wagons area as well.  The teepees and wagons are only available for stays during the summer but it's such a wonderful idea. I hope we can come back and experience it sometimes! Check in and check out was quick and everyone wore masks.

Stunning view and have interesting accommodation types. But... the website might look great, but if you are staying in the hotel rooms. It is just old motel rooms. Nothing fancy. Guest service was so so. Very "what's your question" with a why are you bothering me tone. All in all. It is like a middle of the road "resort". BUTTTTTTT Internet: wow. Really bad. My cell phone on the locations poor network is still a little faster. I had a couple work things to take care of so i can get back to vacationing. But what normal look an hr in total to do. Ended up taking 3 hrs. I must say for a resort in 2022, this is really a miss.

We have booked a double queen room in this "resort" earlier this year. Looking at the pictures online it looked like a luxury resort. It was priced at $330/night and made a two night reservation. When we arrived at this place to our horror we realized it's nothing more roadside motel. We checked online to verify if we are in the right place and realized that the room we book well in advance was now $209/night. We asked the front desk to honor the lower rate. They said they can't do it. No manager on site and cancellation policy was 48 hours so we couldn't cancel without losing our deposit of $330. We got frustrated with management not willing to work with us. All they care about is money and deceive people with beautiful pictures that look NOTHING like reality!! We felt truly "ripped off" so decided to forfeit our deposit and went to another hotel less then half the price and much nicer rooms and friendlier staff. Do not fall for the amazing pictures!! Also don't pay the high rates. The hotel is empty!

Spent a night at this place before heading to Capitol Reef National Park. Convenient location, well maintained rooms and most of all excellent restaurant. The food was well prepared and the service was exemplary. Ordered the fish tacos, poor pie chicken and the flan. Shaun at the restaurant was simply awesome. We came back after a long tiring day at the park, famished. He let us in 10 mins before the opening time and got our food real quick. Friendly and amazing service. They have a good collection of beer and wine. Wine by the bottle is a bit overpriced but you are left with not much of an option in the area. Winter pricing of $69 included breakfast and was a great deal.

Such an amazing experience, we stayed in the wagons and all other options looked just as amazing. They think of everything here, it was great hospitality. A few resturaunts and small stores nearby which is nice. We did the horseback riding which was amazing and the instructors were so sweet. I don't know if a place better than this to experience Utah

Friendly and helpful service, beautiful view. Definitely worth the small price difference for an upgraded room with a patio and view of the rock formations, great sunrise and sunset views. The fully functioning (rare at small resorts) hot tub is a godsend after a day of hiking. Pioneer Kitchen restaurant is good and reasonably priced for a "resort" (it's not really a resort). Only downside is that the rooms are kinda sad; outdated, rips on chairs, furniture very scratched up, the door had to be pulled hard to actually latch. These things didn't matter to me because the room was clean, but it matters to some people. Finally, housekeeping was incredible. In an age where hotels have drastically cut back on this service, we didn't expect it for a two night stay. In the morning, before we left for our hikes, I had put all my clothes in neat piles on the bed (not expecting housekeeping). We returned in the evening to find the bed made up and every pile of clothing put back exactly as they were (down to the one Tshirt I had laying open to dry put back in it's exact place). Incredible! I would stay here again without a doubt. Next time in one of the cabins

I have been looking forward to writing this review ever since we left the resort a few days ago. We had THE absolute best time at this hotel and literally kept adding nights until we couldn't anymore because they were sold out. We went to Utah to go to some of the parks, and ended up getting stuck at the hotel half the time because it was so ridiculously gorgeous. The Milky Way was completely visible and stunning right outside of our room, as were the huge red canyons during the day! Torrey is an awesome little town and we weren't expecting there to be a lot of places nearby to eat, but there were tons of options within a few miles and everything we tried was delicious. Capitol Reef itself couldn't be much closer, it's really like a 2 minute drive from the hotel into the beginning of the park, so it was super easy to hop back to the hotel quickly. Our housekeeping lady was so sweet and helpful and became our friend! Didn't get her name but she cleaned the area around room 408. When we originally saw the pictures of this resort we were kind of put off by the fact that the doors opened right outside instead of to a hallway like a traditional hotel, but that was actually one of my favorite things about it because we didn't have to do anything but open the door to see the incredible views. Plus it was much more covid friendly without the extra communal spaces. I can't recommend this place highly enough!!

This place is ok but not as nice as the photos make it seem. I should know this - I'm a seasoned traveler. But I'm a sucker for a great vista. What can I say. You're paying for the view here, folks - and not much else. We stayed in a room, the tipi and the covered wagon. The covered wagons sleep 6. The tipi is just a king bed. If you're a light sleeper, don't sleep in the tipi. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. We didn't get dinner but the breakfast was fine. The only thing is it was just a bit crowded. Otherwise, we will probably try a different place to stay next time but I'm still glad we went.

This is a great, unique resort with a lot of creature comforts, including very comfortable mattresses (our group of four decided) and bedding. The large resort located near the edge of a beautiful canyon and Capitol Reef Rim, offers an array of sleeping accommodations such as tepees, Conestoga wagons, cabins with porches, and regular motel rooms. All are beautifully decorated with tasteful Western flair. The views are outstanding. Conestoga wagons and tepees offer private nearby baths accessed by a room key. Clean white towels are replaced daily and the bathrooms are very clean, offering a Keurig with coffee and tea, and essential toiletries. The main Lodge building offers a restaurant that serves a decent breakfast buffet for about $10 (August 2018) and other items throughout the day. The resort is located a few minutes away from Capitol Reef National Park, which is well worth the visit. Guests are courteous and often include families with children and travelers from Europe and Asia. The community campfires are an opportunity to meet people from other parts of our interesting world. I have to mention the great staff at this resort who are non-intrusive and who let guests be guests, but who are instantly available when called upon to fulfill your needs and wants.

I've been meaning to write a review of our stay here back in Jan 2021. My wife and I dropped off our daughter at CSU, Ft. Collins in mid January and were driving through Capitol Reef on our way home on a very cold night. We found numerous vacancies here with king-size beds and suites and grabbed a room for one night. We prefer rooms that have a door between the bedroom and living room, since I'm a night owl (watching TV) and my wife goes to bed early. We arrived at dusk and were met with a friendly staff who informed us of the fire pit and s'mores later in the evening, if we desired them. We dropped off our things and I raced to see some of the nearby Capitol Reef sights while my wife chilled back in the room. I got back in time to see the sun setting on the beautiful mountains at the firepit and we went back out again later to see the Milky Way galaxy. It was incredible. We ended up going to the restaurant for dinner and thought it was great, with no complaints. The next day we were bummed to have to leave, but we are keeping this place in our list of awesome places to stay.

I was really excited to stay here in the wagon but i was super disappointed the moment I checked in. Front desk didn't wear mask. I was informed at check in that my jeep tour needs to be rescheduled. I told her that i have only 1 day to stay. She asked me to call the jeep tour myself for refund. Why on earth do i have to do that when i paid it along with the room? Should they do it for me? The Wagon. Looked great outside. But inside there's nothing except 5 beds, 1 heater, 1 AC, 1 lamp, and ice bin. The heater couldn't keep up with outside weather, 52 degree. The restaurant. No one wore masks, again. The food was disgusting. The steak was raw though we requested. The broccoli were so well done that it fell apart. That was my review for the first hour here and I don't think it's worth $1200 i paid for 2 nights. It came with jeeps and horse ride. First and last time for me.

Almost empty wine bottle found in the room, used towel hanging in the bathroom, filthy sink vanity. Management is indifferent. This room is like a motel six room and is dirty. Beware!!!!!!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here and it's at a close proximity to the National Park too!!! We were very comfortable during our stay and the staff was very accommodating to your needs, as required. We had dinner at their onsite restaurant, which was very good. We both had the "Short Ribs with bake potatoes". Your dinner bill gets charged to your room and paid at time of check out. My only complaint is, we used their hot tub as others did, BUT it was EXCESSIVELY OVER CHLORINATED to the point that my wife and I skin had signs of rashes and itched into the next day. Even after showering, after using their hot tub. Also, there are VERY LIMITED places available for meals (I.e. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner), so plan accordingly...

Five stars for CJ at the front desk!! We came in and accidentally booked our hotel for the wrong month. He was so kind and helped us work with Hoteltonight to get the correct date. He also set us up with a lovely view for our room. Thank you CJ for being such a great help!! The view is gorgeous!! We were expecting a little more lavish pool from the photos on their website, but the hotel is still lovely! It looks like it would be great for kids too with the teepee and wagon options.

This place is awesome. It has it all! There is a beautiful view of the mountains right there. There is a restaurant on location and it's perfect. The rooms are really lovely to stay in. Fantastic place to stay at!

I made reservations just based on internet website and I'm so glad I did. This place was so wonderful. Rooms were updated and clean and amenities were awesome. Staff was great and so was food at restaurant. If you're visiting Capital Reef NP stay here. You will not be disappointed

I'm still kicking myself over this one. WHY didn't I book a tee-pee or a covered wagon for the night!? I don't think I realized these were options when booking, or maybe they had been already full by the time I was making reservations. Either way, this is a DEFINITE must-do if you're coming here. There are cabins, teepees, and covered wagons to stay in and I would say go for it! We stayed here for a night in April, as we were passing through and hiking Capitol Reef National Park! There's really not much around here, but this hotel is surprisingly nice! It had been a while since making reservations, and when you have 5-6 hotels planned during your vacation, things start to blend together. Either way, I was a bit hesitant when we pulled up to a motel-looking unassuming building in the middle of Torrey (I mean, in the middle of nowhere*). Once we opened our door, I was reminded why we booked this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and perfectly wonderful for 2 weary and tired travelers. It was about 4pm, and the sun was still up for another hour when we checked in. We opted to throw on our bathing suits and check out the hot tub while we watch the sun go down over the beautiful red rocks. The pool has glass window fencing, which only allows for amazing views, but keeps the wind away - we were particularly grateful for this as it was about 55 degrees out! The hot tub was probably big enough for 15 people to fit in comfortably, luckily for us - there was only 2 other people in there that evening!! The staff is super friendly and helpful! Breakfast is available here at their restaurant, for a cost. It's a buffet, and REALLY not much to write home about (especially for the price), but I literally don't think there was another option! Again, I WISH we stayed in the cabins or teepee for the night! It looks like the cabins even had Adirondack chairs with blankets for watching the sun rise. Despite not having my own Adirondack chair, we did manage to watch the sunrise, which was incredible (and cold, so yes, I wish we had a blanket!!) Don't even bother looking anywhere else if you're in Torrey, stay here! ....and spring for the teepee room!

We had a great time staying in one of their King Cabins! Very clean and comfortable. Staff was super friendly and the views were amazing! We will definitely be back!!

I really dont know exactly what to say about this hotel. I guess it could best be summed up with the heading "Not As Advertised." Looking at the photos of this place on line I was expecting a kind of "resort with glamping opportunities." Something like what you'd find in Cali near Joshua Tree, or Terlingua TX or something like that. You know, fancy, with a kind of boho-vibe to it. Well, this was not that. Definitely a different vibe going on here (see my pic), and not modern at all. Our first room was, I hate to say it, but "dingy" really does describe it best. That, and it shared the same room freshener as the front office, an overpowering aroma that smelled just like a gas station gift shop. The upside was the people at the front desk who were very nice and worked with us to solve the problems we had, including the problems with our second room where the air conditioner just could not handle a space that size. Too be fair, there was a major heat wave going on at the time. Perhaps during normal temps the ac does just fine. In any case the second room was one of the cabins, and it was much nicer and newer than the regular rooms, much closer to being worth what we were paying to stay in it. Still, the whole atmosphere was creepy for reasons... (again see pic) and we wound up cutting our stay short by 2 days. Again the staff were very kind, and they made this review a 3 star instead of a 1 star.
