We chose this hotel based on it's location as we were visting Zion NP followed by Bryce Canyon. When we arrived at the hotel we weren't expecting much if we're honest as it looked a bit cheap motel like, however we were pleasantly surprised when we got to our room. We had a king room which was in a single storey building separate from the rest of the hotel and our room had a small patio with chairs out the back. We were supposed to have our own parking space but someone else was parked in it for the duration of our stay which meant we had to park elsewhere. There is enough parking available though so it's not really a problem.
The room itself was spacious with a big king sized bed, comfy chair and dining table. We had a microwave and coffee machine in the room which was good. There were bathrobes which was a nice touch and the shower room was clean, modern and had a good powerful shower.
It was quiet overnight and we didn't hear any noise from the rooms either side of us.
There is a diner type restaurant on site (and a petrol station which is handy). We did eat at the diner but didn't enjoy it. There aren't really many other options though in the area.

If you are going to Zion and coming from Bryce of the east this is a great place to stay. It is located right on the intersection on the turnoff to go to the park. Going this way you get 22 miles of spectacular scenery as you drive through the East entrance to get to the main gate in Springdale. This is an old style hotel where all rooms are accessible from outside with your car parked in front. The rooms were large, nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by a beautiful golf course. The hotel stay does not include breakfast, but there is a full scale restaurant as part of the property. We only had one glitch. The room we were given the key to had not been cleaned or services after the last guest and they had to move us to a different room. The restaurant on the property included a nice gift shop and a gas station/mini mart shared the parking lot. The people at the hotel were very friendly and went out of their way to male sure we were happy including giving us quarters for the guest laundry. We would have no problem staying here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Right on the golf course and although we do not golf, it made for a pleasant “green” experience. Room was roomy and sunny, with a little patio on the back. Nice dining table and area. Decor was rustic and warm. We asked for Wheelchair accessible room It wasn’t specifically wheelchair accessible but they made every effort to accommodate, adding bars and shower stool, and it worked for us. It only had a walk in shower, and If you need to roll into shower this would not work. Handy restaurant on the property. Everything very clean, so important these days.

The hotel provides an affordable option for travelers who wish to explore the stunning natural beauty of Bryce National Park, Zion National Park, and Page. Its prime location in the heart of these iconic destinations makes it a convenient choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the breathtaking landscapes.
One of the standout features of the hotel is the size and cleanliness of the rooms, especially when compared to similar-priced accommodations in the area. Guests can expect spacious and well-maintained rooms that provide a comfortable retreat after a day of outdoor activities. The cleanliness of the rooms adds to the overall satisfaction of the stay, creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment.
The affordability of the hotel is also a notable highlight, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers. The reasonable pricing allows guests to allocate their budget towards other aspects of their trip, such as exploring the national parks and experiencing local attractions.
The central location of the hotel is another key advantage, providing easy access to Bryce National Park, Zion National Park, and Page. This saves travelers time and effort in commuting, allowing them to maximize their time spent in the breathtaking surroundings of these natural wonders.

I’m used to being disappointed and overcharged when booking rooms close to national parks, However I was very impressed with the rooms at Best Western East Zion Thunderbird Lodge. My very large room (rm 209) had a king size bed, Small kitchenette with table, two relaxing chairs and a balcony. The bathroom has a separate waterfall shower and a beautiful tub. The room was very well-maintained and looked like it was recently updated. I can’t say enough of how beautiful and spacious it was. I consider the room to be a little pricey ($179 with taxes) but was well worth the money. Oh by the way it’s only 12 miles from Zion national Park.

Excellent value! Our room was fantastic! Very well-appointed especially for the price! Good wifi, very large room, excellent furniture, lights, fixtures, fridge, etc. Included a sliding glass door to a private patio on the golf course. We've stayed in a lot of budget motels, and this room was much nicer than what we had expected, especially for the price we paid.

We chose this location because we didn't want to change hotels during a pandemic and we wanted to visit both Zion and Bryce canyons. It was a great choice for our family. Even though services were reduced, the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was good and the Chevron had groceries and reasonable gas prices for the area. The kids enjoyed the pool. Wish we had time to try the golf course!!!

If I were asked to say one word about my stay it would simply be “excellent”. We had been through quite a long day upon arrival which included being rear-ended in a minor car accident on our way there so all I hoped was for the room to be nice when we walked in…it exceeded expectations in every way. Beautiful decor, huge towels, perfectly clean, everything was just so good! We used the laundry room which was also clean and in good working order. Had a balcony overlooking the golf course which was a nice feature. The restaurant was often quite busy but was fairly efficient the only time we ate there. The hotel was a perfect gateway to Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyon. We could not have happier with our stay!

The hotel is located at the east entrance to Zion, so it was easy to get to and the park is easily accessible. There a restaurant on site, a gas station right next to it, which made the stay very easy. Hotel room was clean, staff was pleasant and very helpful to answer my questions about the park and trails.

Overpriced. Was once a fine piece of architecture: Not all walls at 90degreees, nice little patio,nice size room. But if I say they still have incandescence light bulbs, dont expect to find a microwave in the room. Nice fridge but no freezer part. No one at front desk until 3pm DST. That's 4pm Sun Time. But for novelty dont miss the full size Ironing Board and Iron vertically on the wall right in front of toilet for added convenience. For any of us who do not remember why irons are in hotel rooms: wrap cheese in bread place in aluminum foil and Iron both sides: Mid-night grilled cheese!!!

About 45 minutes and your choices are either here or right at the park entrance and the cost difference is a lot more economical here besides the drive is real pretty anyway
There is an incidental hold and if you come from a region with a different currency the change in exchange rate from the the time of the hold and the actual withdrawal causes a mismatch of amounts which can lead to an extended hold.
