You have to stay in a covered wagon at least once in your life, right? We love to stay in unique lodging and this fits the bill. Wagons can sleep 6 people! (1 King bed and 2 sets of bunk beds.) which would probably be crowded until bedtime. We only had 2 people. But the outdoor area by the fire is where you want to spend your time anyway. We were there in August 2017 and the night actually got chilly and we didn't need the AC. Yes, it has an air conditioner!!! We even had a short rain storm and if you love rain like me, you will love the sound of rain on your wagon. You are assigned your own bathroom in a very close by bath-house. You get a key card. It was spotless with soft towels. (You don't find large, soft towels at many hotels these days) Wagons have power with cute little lantern lights and outlets for your use. Each set of wagons (I think 6) has their own fire pit. We didn't have any issues with other guests being loud. The pool is kind of far from the wagons. We chose to drive over so we wouldn't have to walk back wet. We used the pool in the morning and had it to ourselves. A beautiful pool with stunning backdrop of red rock mountains. We ate at the hotel restaurant. We were seated immediately and we enjoyed our dinner. (I'm writing this review many months after our stay and I can't remember what I had from the menu.) The resort also has regular hotel rooms and teepees. read more

What a great respite! Really nicely appointed rooms with very comfortable bedding. Amazing hospitality. King room has a great walk in shower. Staff very friendly and offered a ton of suggestions on where to go and what to do in the area. Thank you for taking such good care of us! We'll be back! read more

We really enjoyed the Teepee experience. It was very pleasant, the sunsets were great. Suggest putting a mini fridge in the room. All other amenities were a 10. The check in ladies were not very friendly and appeared young and new; the second day crew was much more professional. While a fun experience I think the overall value was overpriced, more reasonable would be mid $200's, Annoying fact was that the sprinklers would come on multiple times during the day and early evening, spraying on the tent entry, lounge chairs while you are trying to use it. Have them on during the night! read more

Old hotel updated with modern furnishings. Boutique hotel style beddings and 2 flatscreen TVs in the bedroom suits, as well as a jaccuzzi tub (though we didn't use it because we felt it was wasteful to use so much water in the desert). We stayed on the first level and the back door opened to a lovely lawn with fountain with an amazing view of the mountains. Since our car was packed to the rafters with gear, it was nice to be able to park just outside our room door. The property has a pool, tennis court and laundry facilities (which is fantastic since we had so much dust on us from hiking at Capitol Reef National Park). Speaking of the park, it is just a short drive away. There is a restauarnt at the hotel, but we are quite fond of the Rim Rock Patio across the street that serves BBQ and pizza. read more

Had a wonderful visit here loved staying in the covered wagon the bathrooms are located just feet away from the wagon and you have a private bathroom with a key clean towels,coffee maker,very clean. Fire pits are lit in the evening and you can buy s'mores kits at the front desk. The restaurant wasn't very nice as well staff very friendly food was yummy. We did the hiking with lamas which was very entertaining and educational our guide was excellent I would suggest the morning hike afternoon can be very hot. Pizza restaurant across the street from hotel has great beer and pizza is delicious. read more

We just stayed here and it was wonderful! Our family of 6 stayed in a cabin and everyone had a place to sleep. The views are spectacular! Go sit by one of the campfires and look up at the stars. You can stay in a cabin or a wagon or a tepee. It's such a cute place. Highly recommend. Great for families. read more

Stay away! Purchased a room through a third party (Chase.com) and paid $329.81 for two nights (November 5-7, 2022). Upon check-in, requested to change to a room with a balcony and was informed it was $150+ more for the two nights of the upgraded room and my card was charged. Reviewing the hotel website, and then confirmed by the hotel manager on duty (Brooke), the difference between the room rates was only $20 per night, for a total of $40, plus tax. The manager (Brooke) insisted they had to charge the difference between what they received from the third party (while smiling - completely confused as to why anyone has to be snotty to a customer at anytime), not the difference between the room rates and refused to adjust the charged difference to accurately reflect the actual difference in rates between the rooms, negating the value of and price I had actually paid for the original room despite my receipt verifying payment of $329.81 for my stay (the full total for the room I upgraded to would have been $374.07 if booked directly through their own website, a difference of $44.26 - NOT $150+). This is not only unethical, but also fraudulent. This business' agreements with third party sites that provide a service to them in marketing their rooms is between them and the third party. read more

Dreadful place. The temperature in our cabin was a little cool after we checked in. We didn't think much of it, nor did we think about the weirdly large space heater smack dab in the middle of the living area. When we got back from dinner the temperature still seemed a little cool, so I checked that the heaters in the bedrooms were on. They seemed to be, with lights on, temperature set, and some warm air coming out of the register. We don't mind cool air when we sleep, so we put our young children to bed in their room and went to sleep ourselves. Around 4am I woke up. It was COLD, the kind of cold that makes your blanket feel like a sheet. I checked the bedroom heater and it was still producing a little bit of warm air, but not nearly enough to heat up the room. My stirring woke up my wife. She told me she had been waking up on and off all night, trying to ignore the cold. I downloaded the operating manual for the heater to my phone to see if I could figure out how to make it put out more heat. According to the manual, the settings were correct. The heater was simply not working well. This would explain the odd space heater in the living area--management must have known the heat was malfunctioning in our cabin and tried to make up for it with the space heater. My wife and I found the living area of the cabin was warmer, though still cool, however the floor creaked loudly when we approached the living area, the kind of creak that could easily wake up our light-sleeping children. If they woke up, they would almost certainly not go back to sleep for hours and the next day of our vacation would likely be shot with sleepy, grumpy kids. Since there wasn't really anywhere to sleep in the living area (it was pretty small, and the space heater took up a lot of the available floor space) my wife and I decided our best chance to salvage the next day was to try to sleep in our cold bedroom. We spooned together tight and slept fitfully for another hour until dawn. As we groggily headed to breakfast the next morning, we ran into another family we had met the night before who also had rented a cabin. It turned out they too had a cold bedroom and they too had a huge space heater in the middle of their living area. At breakfast we met a third family who had also rented a cabin. They had no space heater and the temperature throughout their cabin was perfectly comfortable. So management definitely knew at least two of their cabins had heating problems and rented them anyway. They could have put us in regular rooms with working heat (this was in the off-season and the parking lot was barely half-full) but chose not to, presumably because the cabins rent for more money. After breakfast, I asked at the front desk to speak to the manager. I explained our lack of heat to the woman manning the front desk, and she disappeared into the back. She returned a minute later and said they wouldn't give us a refund because we hadn't called the front desk at 4am to have them send over an engineer. She wasn't willing to discuss it any further. Now, I had never asked about a refund. I just asked to talk to the manager. But somehow because I hadn't called the front desk at 4am to have someone come to our cabin (which certainly would have woken up our children) to address a problem management already knew they had (ergo the space heater) I wasn't even entitled to the courtesy of a discussion with the manager. Avoid this place. They want to suck every dime out of you. They feel no obligation to do their jobs well and provide comfortable accommodation. They are incompetent cheats. Also, the restaurant really sucks. read more

Visited in the first few days of July. 1 two-queen cabin and 1 teepee. Both were clean, spacious, and expertly designed. A lot of highlights, including surround sound and rainfall shower in the cabin, while the teepee has its own spacious, separate bathroom. The views.... sunrise, sunset, and the dome of stars and the galaxy at night... it was super hard to leave this place. I'm quite positive I'll be back, and I hope to bring even more family and friends with me next time. read more

It's one of the more up to date higher end motels in the Capitol Reef entrances at Torrey. The town has very little stores, gas stations, no grocery stores. Most of the restaurants are connected to the hotel/motels. The breakfast buffet for $10 adults and $5 kids is very simple: scrambled eggs from powder, bacon, sausage, pancakes , toast, fruits, cereal. The rooms are quite good for this remote area, good beds, lots of towels, working everything. The pool is not as fancy as the website but it's ok for 20% of the people staying, meaning it can hold up to 50 people for a place that sleeps 200. Very nice updated work out room that is in a separate bldg, grounds were very nicely kept, llamas were out front promoting the llama services. This is the closest lodging to the entrance to the park. read more

I don't really get how this is a three star resort bc it's a five star one in my book. From the moment we arrived, we were helped by the staff who went out of their way to make us comfortable. The resort has a neat set up with options to stay in wagons, teepees and traditional rooms. We stayed in a teepee, bc why not. It was so amazing. So warm and cozy inside, with a TV and amazing huge bed. Possibly most comfortable hotel bed I've had in a while. Each area also has fire pits that are open until 10, we got a bottle of wine from the restaurant and then sat there after dinner. Holy moly can you see stars there. Possibly the most stars I've ever seen. The bathrooms you are assigned to when staying in the teepees (each teepee or wagon has its own) are super clean and quite frankly fancy. The restaurant was great, the breakfast buffet was standard but selection solid. The dinner was great - mushrooms, manicotti, cobbler oh man the cobbler. Also, the pool and hot tub looked awesome though we didn't use them. I can't wait to go back to Utah just to stay here again! read more

I booked this "resort" several months in advance of our trip as part of a 2-week itinerary. The pictures online look amazing and give you the feeling that this property is wonderful. Beware, the pictures are completely misleading!!! This is a roadside motel with prices of a 5* hotel!!! The price they charged me online was $330/night for double queen bed. I would be willing to pay if this was truly a resort. But when we arrived, what I found along the road was no more than a $150/night- worth motel. The pool pictures are completely misleading! My kids couldn't believe what they saw when we arrived, compared to what I showed them online. Like I mentioned, worth paying $150 for, not more. In addition to the inaccurate pictures online, hotel staff is unwilling to work with customers. First, I wanted to cancel the reservation or at least the second night. Not a chance, they have a 48 hr policy. But even when I asked them to reduce the price to the price they advertised on their website ($209/night), they were unwilling to match it!! Same room! All they care about is money, charge resort-like prices for a cheap roadside motel and don't care about guest satisfaction!! Manager was of course not reachable. I would have stayed if they had lowered the price to what was advertised (hotel was half empty)! But their attitude and the fact that I felt completely cheated made me feel so bitter that we checked out and went to Red Sands down the road instead. Do yourself a favor and stay at Red Sands!! $150/nigth, beautiful modern rooms and the staff goes out of their way!! Save yourselves the disappointment!! read more

This place is pricey and not as remote as it appears on the web page. Unless you get cabins 508 to 510 don't pay the money for the view. There just isn't a clean view. Cabin decks are very close so there is no privacy. A lot of "stuff" crammed in one spot. Sitting on your deck proceeds no view either. They are using low Adirondack chairs and the deck fence is about 4 ft high so a no go there. I will say the cabin insides are amazing! read more

Beauty all around !! My only wish was that we had stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful landscape and the many areas to venture out. I had a great restful evenings which is unusual for me. The comfortable bed & pillows were the answer. read more

The customer service here can vary but the place itself is wonderful. We always get the room with the balcony because the others are basement like. The balcony is just lovely. There is a beautiful view of the canyons / red rocks. There are on site trail rides which my little one loved. Our rooms have always been clean and it is so much fun to look at the teepees and covered wagons. It is incredibly close to the park and, in the spring, there are lilacs. read more

This was such a neat experience. We stayed in a Conestoga Covered Wagon that slept 6 and rocked gently in the high desert wind. The wagons are circled around a gas campfire and looking out on the same beautiful rock formations the settlers must have seen! Hot tub, pool, luxurious comfy beds and baths with A/C, and excellent food Rim Rock Grille. It was one of the highlights of our trip and we will be back one day! read more

Great view, cute and cozy cabin. We came in on Christmas Eve so not much happening in the town of Torrey. The front desk was able to give us a heads up on the nearest open restaurants. The resort had a fire pit and the hot tubs open in the evening, they sell s'more kits at the front desk. Super close to Capitol Reef NP! read more

A lovely, beautiful spot, and quite possibly the best front desk staff around. They worked through a gnarly problem, in the heart of an otherwise *extremely* busy evening, with professionalism, determination, cheer, friendliness, and empathy. Thank you! Tip: The cabins are definitely worth it--they're really nice. read more

Place is very dated and a little dirty. Restaurant was horrible. Way over priced for a converted motel.

The not so good: We stayed in one of the Conestoga wagons and nearly froze our keisters off. The heater didn't do much to keep the inside warm and the blankets weren't thick enough (no comforters were provided). If you come in late May, consider staying in on of these like camping, except you can sleep on a bed. They look more impressive than they are. The good: you do get your own bathroom, with coffee maker, full toiletries (including toilet), hot water, shower and safe. The really unique: we did a llama hike and everyone had an absolute blast. My seven- and 10-year-old daughters loved it. Their 70+ year-old grandmother had no problem keeping up and had fun too. The animals are very docile and great with children. Our guide, Andrew, was really great too. He was knowledgeable and very personable. read more

I love this resort. It's a great place to stay with kids when traveling to Capitol Reef, with easy access to the park, a great pool, and gorgeous grounds/views. The rooms are fully equipped, clean, and comfortable. The on-site restaurant is overpriced for breakfast ($10 for a basic buffet, unless that has changed recently) but the dinner options are surprisingly good! I'll continue to stay here when I'm in the area, unless of course I've got the dogs--who aren't welcome here. read more

Very clean and well maintained. Very friendly and helpful staff. Views are worth it!

i booked a wagon and a room for my family. i looked on the website to ensure they were oet friendly. i did not see one and upon arrival I was denied my rooms. i told them that I searched their website and did not find any mention of no pets. my daughter looked and she said she did not find one either. the staff was not rude or anything, nothing against them. just upset at their very poor information about their pet policy. luckily the hotel was able to accomadate us 10 and Pepper. read more

The staff at Capitol Reef Resort is truly awesome. I left my laptop in our room, and was expecting it to be a lost cause. The front desk and housekeeping staff went above and beyond to find it and mail it back to me. I will be forever grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Capitol Reef Resort is the perfect blend of nice amenities and small town friendliness. Our room was clean and comfortable with a great view of nature from our balcony. It was an easy drive to hikes in this hidden gem of a park, and we enjoyed hottubbing after hiking. We highly recommend staying here! We're hoping to return and stay in a teepee or covered wagon, and go on a llama hike! read more

A Room With A View is an understatement! This hotel is the closest to Capital Reef National Park (it takes just a couple minutes to drive to the entrance of the park). It is an older hotel, but don't let that deter you - it's fantastic in every way. (When I say older, I mean it's the type of hotel where your door opens to the outside.) I picked this hotel basically out of a hat, not knowing what to expect. When I got there, I was in love! The room was very spacious, with a comfortable bed, and everything was very clean and fresh. But, that's not the good part - the good part was the vew from my room!! It was so beautiful! Watching the sun come up over these beautiful red rocks is breathtaking. If you stay here, try and get a room at ground level - but with the balcony (doesn't make sense, but you walk into ground level - and out the back is a private balcony with this magnificient view). I was so glad I picked this Best Western. There were a couple other choices in this very small town, but I was happy I stayed here. The front desk staff was very nice. There is no free breakfast or anything here (not even coffee). But, there is a reasonably priced restaurant that serves breakfast - so you won't starve. I prefer the hotels with free breakfast, but Best Westerns don't normally offer that. But, that was okay - the hotel was fantastic anyway. Price was very reasonable; you really don't have much of a choice in this town. Free wi-fi, ice machine, and a good coin-laundry room - everything you need. I would definitely stay here again! read more

Have to say I was disappointed because I had really been looking forward to our stay. Very shocked that few staff were wearing masks. Pool is very small and there was zero social distancing. In the restaurant not one staff wore masks during dinner service but were wearing masks when I looked from a distance at breakfast. No matter. We wouldn't//didn't eat there. Apparently capital reef resort does not take cdc covid recommendation seriously. We did not feel safe! When I asked a young staff why they didn't wear a mask I was told "we only have 2 or 3 covid in our area". Sure hope this resort is not hit hard when tourist season begins next month. We booked a king cabin and there were several maintenance issues. 5 light bulbs were burned out, the curtain rod was broken so you couldn't open drape and the toilet seat was hanging on by a thread. Not what you would expect (we stayed in 505). Plus view from our cabin was of the tee pees and not the unobstructed view of red rocks you see on website. On plus side the resort is very close to national park and staff is friendly. read more

This place is super wickedly awesome. It's in a great location to get to Capital Reef National Park. They have teepee that you can sleep in! A nice large pool. The rooms were updated and super clean. You can tell they take pride in this place. There are a couple of restaurants near by. The one down side was there was you had to pay for breakfast. The breakfast was not even that good. Super odd for a place that calls itself a "resort" not to throw in a free breakfast. read more

This Best Western is a short drive from the spectacular scenery of Capitol Reef National Park. It's one of the few hotels available in Torrey and probably the nicest of them all. I see a lot of people complaining that it's not a "resort" but for $66 a night what do you really expect? Sure it's not much to look at, but the rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet. The dated Western decor is a little funny, but I also kind of like it. You have to remember that Torrey has a population of only 180 people, so for such a small town, this is a pretty good place. I've certainly stayed at worse and I would stay here again. read more

Room was nice, off-season price very reasonable. The view from the property of cliffs outside Capitol Reef National Park is breathtaking. Just don't eat there. Dinner was a slab of meat loaf and some broccoli. At breakfast the next day, they ran.out.of.food. (Planning ahead based on the number of guests is apparently not their strength.) read more

When you go back to a place 2 days in a row, there's gotta be something really good about it The hotel is much recommended for its close proximity to the Capitol Reef National Park, for the incredible views from the rooms, for its near and clean rooms. Let's talk about the food now. Yummmm! We were three very hungry guests - both times - and everything we ordered was made to perfection! Our server, Shaun, was completely tuned in to our needs, was quick, efficient, friendly and made great recommendations. read more

Let's start with the obvious -- calling a Best Western Motel in a small town in southern Utah a "resort" is much more than a "stretch". Torrey is a cute, small town with few choices for eating or sleeping accommodations. The Best Western is new and the rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. There is a large laundry room. The balconies open to a sunset view of a canyon ridge and the view is lovely. We stayed there to visit Canyonlands Islands in the Sky District and found it very convenient. For such a small town, we were delighted to find a place this nice. The room got a little noisy after dark because a bike race or tour was ending across the street, but I have to think that's a rare occurrence. If you're staying near Torrey, you won't have a lot of choices. Thankfully, this is a good one. read more

Booked a room for a three night stay. Web site offered a free Llama hike if you stayed 3 nights. Everything was fine until we received a $217 bill from the Llama folks (Wilderness Ridge Adventures). MaryLou was very nice when I explained that the hike was supposed to be free and the bill sent to the hotel. She did that, sending us a cancelled invoice. However the hotel apparently turned around several days later and billed our credit card for the $217 after we had started our trip and now refuses to refund the charge. We couldn't be more upset at this blatant miss advertising. Be VERY WARY when working with Capitol Reef Resort as 'free' offers are anything but. DON'T sign up for any jeep, horse or llama hikes unless you are fully prepared to pay for it yourself. It is NOT free, regardless what the hotels web site says. read more

Nice view. Nice new cabin. But from their it went downhill. First the key card didnt work, then our AC unit wouldnt work. When the AC got fixed it dripped so much condensation all night, it soaked thru three bath towels, even after turning it off. We stayed in a cabin, and had no wifi even after asking the front desk to reset. The worst part was we had no cell service as well, ie. Cut off from the world. And the front desk didnt give a rip, even after i nicely notified them of the problem. They advertise free wifi, but cant provide! It is a 250 yard walk from the closest cabin to parking and even farther to the pool. They obviously dont have a customer satisfaction policy. BEWARE read more

No longer the Best Western, it's now Capitol Reef Resort. Our rooms faced the scenic mountains, had a patio area, refrigerator, small microwave oven, coffee machine, television, and internet. The staff attentive and friendly. It was a pleasant stay. The cafe/restaurant serves a good, buffet style breakfast with all the fixings. The pool and hot tub are an added bonus and it was nice to soak in the hot tub after a long day of riding. It's about 7 miles from the Capital Reef visitor center and other scenic hikes and rides in the area. read more
