The Bryce Canyon Lodge is a somewhat typical national park lodge that I have stayed in. They are somewhat dated but nonetheless worth staying because of the location in the park. I enjoyed the decks off each room . The one disadvantage is the choices of food. Last year we were also at Bryce and you could order off the menu and either take out or eat in dining room. There just wasn’t any waiters to bring to your table. This year it was all buffet. As others have mentioned it was expensive but was ok.

We stayed in a Sunrise room on the second floor. Warning to Seniors, there is no elevator. A tour bus came when we were getting to our room and it appeared they took all the first floor rooms. Our room was very nice. It appeared to have been recently refurbished with a complete new bathroom. Be aware that there is no TV’s in these rooms nor are they air conditioned. Portable fans are available in the room if you need them - we did not. Temps for our mid May visit were mid 70’s during the day and upper 30’s at night. By the way avoid the dining room at the lodge. The dinner buffet was $36 and it was terrible. Go to Ruby’s instead - dinner buffet is only $26 and you can order off the menu if you wish.

The location alone makes this lodge the best choice. It is completely amazing to be able to walk to the rim at sunrise and sunset--- and really at any time of day. As National Park lodges go, this one is pretty good! Our room was small, but clean, with a fridge and coffee maker. The beds were comfortable and we would stay here again. Keep trying if you don't get a reservation right away--it is worth it!

Rustic and well appointed rooms in Sunset hotel section of lodge. Staff very friendly and helpful. The location is deceptive. You are surrounded by a high desert look and feel and then you walk out of parking lot towards the Bryce amphitheater and WOW the rim reveals a breathtaking view of the canyon. You don’t see the canyon when you pull in. It’s kind of a question like where is this 35,000 acre park? And then….🎉🎉🎉 My suggestion would be to be coordinated with restaurant link to bold the fact that the restaurant only has buffet service at this time. The restaurant link for dinner menu wouldn’t open so you didn’t know it was buffet. We were fine with it but heard others dissatisfied

This was stop #1 on our tour of the Mighty 5. 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 queen bed room. Chose The Lodge over the Best Westerns in town due to its location and the ability to get from our room to the trailhead for Queens Garden/Navajo Loop in less than 10 minutes. We were able to hike in the morning and then come back and clean up before check out. Husband even took a midnight stroll to the as we were there at full moon. Room was basic, but clean and had all the amenities we needed for 1 night - refrigerator, coffee, soap, shampoo/conditioner. There was a table which was perfect to feed the kids breakfast. Shower needed to run a few minutes to get hot water. There is no tv, no cell service and wifi is spotty. You stay here for the location/access, not the amenities. If you need those other things, stay outside the park. We didn't eat at the restaurant as we had planned in advance and packed in our dinner and breakfast. The restaurant area looked busy when we checked in. Check in/check out was simple and all employees we encountered were kind and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
