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

Top Thunderbird Gardens Trailhead Hotel Reviews

The Cairn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"AC was loud and windows didn’t have screens so bring earplugs if it’s too hot or too cold outside. It was otherwise quiet. 5 min to Shakespeare Festival. Hot breakfast including eggs, hash browns and ham."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cedar City

8/10 Good

"Everythi.g was great except I could hear people talking and coming and going most of the night. I dont know if I was on a floor with multiple loud rooms, if the hotel is just not very sound proof, or both. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful."

Super 8 by Wyndham Cedar City

8/10 Good

"La chambre et les sanitaires étaient très propres. La localisation par rapport au parc national de Zion était bien également."

Mountain Star Inn Cedar City

8/10 Good

"The room definitely met my needs. The AC worked well and there was enough space. The only thing that caught me off guard was the lack of soap. I’ve never stayed anywhere before that didn’t have soap and shampoo in the room. It was also hard to find outlets for charging devices. There weren’t any by the nightstand, which is the best place for them. Staff was very helpful though!"

Quality Inn Cedar City - University Area

8/10 Good

"Room was clean if worn. Tv channels for kids topped out at PBS. Pool is indoors but not heated. Hot tub was out of use. Breakfast is basic but got the job done. There were supply issues with things like spoons and napkins. The staff went above and beyond to help figure stuff out but the management needed help making sure that kind of thing didn’t happen, especially bc it out their staff in an awkward position. The location is surprisingly quiet for proximity to the main road. Overall ok for a weekend stay with kids"

Best Western Plus Cedar City

8/10 Good

"It was nice. Comfortable beds and clean. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast, simple."

Hampton Inn & Suites Cedar City

8/10 Good

"The stay was fine. Staff were gracious and the room was clean. The thermostat was difficult. We were three women with three different rooms and all of us could not get the thermostat to set where we wanted. (FYI We all have thermostats we work in our homes.) It would be nice to have a safe in the room."

Cedar Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was as expected, clean and comfortable. The hotel worked perfectly for our two night stay in Cedar City."

Mountain Star Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Magnussen is an older building, but well maintained. We have stayed here nearly every year for the past 7 years to attend the Shakespeare Festival. It's very reasonable price wise, walking distance to said festival, and the owner(s) (Mehda?) and staff are friendly, accommodating, and responsive. We will be staying here every year as long as we are attending the festival!"
