Stay in the cabins by the lodge if you possibly can. They are vintage log cabins with old fireplaces, close to the rim trail. You can park right in front and walk to most points of interests. We E biked all over the park too. Rental location is an old gas station. Perfect two day trip.

In the past we’ve stayed in the lodge but this time we chose the lower cost cabins, and we are so pleased that we did. They are situated part way between the main lodge and the rim and are well-spaced out. They have a real rustic charm, built from rock and timber with high roofs. Some reviews reported that they are too small – maybe for four adults they are, but for two adults they are great. There is a fridge and coffee maker, but don’t expect TV, cell or Wi-Fi (there is Wi-Fi in the main lodge).

We splurged on a night in a king suite on the second floor of the historic main lodge building. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of our room. It was spacious, remarkably clean, and very comfortable. We had a nice lunch and dinner in the lodge dining room. The lodge serves a breakfast buffet as well as Al a carte items, but we opted to enjoy the in-room coffee and food we brought with us. The room is equipped with a microwave and refrigerator. In the morning, we took a short walk to sunrise point to see the sunrise. We experienced excellent customer service during our stay and understood that we were forgoing AC, television, and decent WI-FI in exchange for the innate advantages of spending a night in the park.

To stay right in the park this location can't be beat. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, it's the only place you can stay in the park other than camping or RV locations. You can stay in hotels about a 15-20-minute drive away in some of the nearby towns. You'll have to make that call for yourselves. For me, it would not be worth it. But that's just my opinion. We were there in late July and the rooms in the Lodge don't have air conditioning. AC IS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY!! Bryce Canyon National Park is between 7,000-9,000 feet above sea level and the Lodge is at over 7,000 feet. At night the temperatures drop to the upper 40s even in late July. With the window open (they have screens) you will sleep comfortably under the covers. But if AC is vital for you then look into the towns. The Wifi works well in the restaurant but not the rooms. If that's important to you, again, look into the towns. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a microwave and small refrigerator. The restaurant is good and we had dinner there twice due to convenience. You can park just by the Lodge building, another plus.

I had a great stay at The Lodge at Bryce Canyon. The hotel is in a perfect location for exploring Bryce Canyon. The rim of the canyon is just a few minutes walk from the lodge. The hotel is very well run. The staff is very nice and helpful. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent. I stayed in a second floor room in the Sunset Motel, which is near the canyon’s Sunset Point. The room was an old school, very rustic, motel type room. The king size bed was very comfortable and the balcony was nice for watching the rain. The lodge and motel building had WiFi. The WiFi was reliable in the lodge but not so much in my end room at the motel. The WiFi was better in the common area in the center of the motel building. There are no TVs in the rooms for those who really care about that. For me it wasn’t an issue. The lodge is also convenient because the Bryce Canyon shuttle stops there. So if you like you can leave your car parked (parking is free) and see other parts of the park via the shuttle. There are plenty of good trails accessible from the lodge so you don’t have to take the shuttle anywhere to enjoy the park. The gift shop in the lodge was expansive with many gift and necessity options. There’s also a pizza place/coffee shop in a building near the lodge for those who don’t want a full, sit down meal in the restaurant. Overall, my experience at The Lodge at Bryce Canyon was excellent and I’d definitely stay there again.
