    I had almost booked Clear Sky Resort for the Stargazing dome view, but decided a shorter 4 minute…read moredrive to Bryce Canyon National Park to get there early before the crowds would be better since we only had one day there. The lobby has a super tall ceiling and a lodge-like feel, really fancy and modern. Plenty of parking. The breakfast included breakfast with a big buffet of scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with ham, pancakes, cereal, sausage, bacon, fruit, tater tots, breakfast muffins and donuts had much more choices than the Best Western we stayed at in at Springdale for Zion National Park. There is one elevator. Pay attention to the receptionist when they tell you the floor. Our room was 3461, and he said the 4th floor which seemed like a mistake until we got out on the 3rd floor and could not find our room. The second digit refers to the floor number. The first number refers to the building. Room was clean, comfortable, spacious and the bathroom vanity was long. There was an inexpensive Keurig machine. I successfully made my coffee, but my husband couldn't get the machine to turn on again even with wife help. Microwave in the room. Our mini-fridge was warm and fiddling with the temperature control didn't seem to start it up. I put those comments on my Best Western survey and the general manager responded and thanked me and said the problems would be addressed. The pool and hot tub are located in the center of the buildings, so it can be more shaded there in the afternoon. The park shuttle does not stop at this hotel but Ruby's Inn about 7 - 10 minutes walking. We drove the 0.5 miles for dinner there - Cowboy's Buffet and Steak Room. We got there about 5:40 pm and by 6:30 pm, it looked like a 30-45 minute line. When they run out of the ribs, you might be stuck eating the buffet or other menu choices. The ribs were good!

    Check-in was rough. There was only one person working the front desk at 4pm, so we waited about 20…read moreminutes in line just to get our room key. The room itself was nice, clean, and cozy. The location was perfect for visiting Bryce Canyon. We could drive to the park in 10 to 20 minutes, which made it easy to catch sunrise, sunset, and stargazing while still having a comfortable place to come back to. Breakfast was great! The crib they provided us did not meet safe sleep guidelines. The mattress was too small for the crib, and it left a large 2 inch gap. Luckily my baby is older (13 months), so SIDS or suffocation is not as much of a concern anymore. But it is something to keep in mind. My biggest concern happened on our second night. We came back after sunset and stargazing, around 10:30pm. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. My baby was fussy while we were working through our bedtime routine. Just as he was finally drifting off, the front desk called and woke him right back up to tell me they'd gotten noise complaints and that we needed to be quiet during night hours. The woman rudely said "Quiet hours start at 10pm why aren't you being quiet?!" She treated us like belligerent partiers instead of a family with two small kids. When I explained that we have two babies and were doing our best, she still wasn't professional or empathetic about it at all. It honestly gave me a lot of anxiety because I was scared we would get kicked out for my baby crying whenever he made any noise. The hotel was not full, so maybe a room change to a more remote part of the hotel would have been appropriate. I have traveled with my kids many times before and never experienced something like that. There were many elderly guests staying around us, so maybe that contributed to the problem. Still, handling the issue with a little more understanding and grace would've gone a long way for me. Housekeeping could use a little work as well. I don't think they vaccuumed the floors our entire stay. With two little kids, there were some crumbs on the floor. By the time we left it was getting pretty bad and I didn't like my baby being on the floor because it was dirty. Overall the location is great and the rooms are nice, but management should think hard about how front desk staff are trained to handle situations involving families. I'd think twice before booking here again.

    I really enjoyed my stay here at this hotel. At first, it looks like a motel, but once you unlock…read moreyour room door, you'll be amazed by the room itself. The room is super nice, which we had a patio view overlooking the golf course, which I didn't even know they had one. Also super cheap to get a round of 18 holes in if you happen to spontaneously hit a few. I also loved the wooden furniture to give it that rustic vibe, which I guess goes well with the national park theme. The room itself was very spacious. They had a 24 hour pool and a hot tub, which we definitely took advantage of after a tiring hike through some of the national parks. There's a gift shop as well as the Thunderbird Restaurant, which I recommended getting food there. The staff that checked us in was super friendly and helpful. He was also very knowledgeable on Zion as we were trying to figure out parking and how early we needed to get there, along with renting hiking equipment, and other advices on making our Zion trip less chaotic.

    If you're like us and just want a clean comfortable place to stay that isn't an outrageous price?…read moreThis is where I would recommend as an in-between Bryce and Zion! It's got everything you need to rest your sore body after a long day at Bryce and hop in a pool before you continue on to Zion only 45 minutes away. There is a restaurant (see my other review for deets), pool/hot tub, gas station and golf course right on the property for you take advantage of for all you need to recuperate! The king size bed was so comfortable and the showers had great pressure and super warm. The room was very spacious and the AC was quiet but really pumped out cool air! Loved that we could access from the front our the back patio that faced the pool so we didn't have to go all the way around the complex. Only bummer is it's really close to the highway and sometimes you'd hear the occasion noise of cars but other than that it was a perfect stay.
