$150-250/ night
Book this if You want the best views in Springdale and a guaranteed seat on the shuttle before the crowds pack in.
Why People Love It
- It sits at Shuttle Stop 9, meaning you board first and actually get a seat
- Elevated position offers panoramic red rock views that lower hotels can't match
- The Annex building rooms are surprisingly quiet and spacious
Quick Take: A polished-up rebrand of the old Majestic View Lodge that trades walkable nightlife for killer views and shuttle strategy.
Reviewed by @AlexandraHryshyn8635339: I stayed here for a Zion trip and was blown away. Waking up, pulling back the curtains, and seeing those massive red rocks right there? Unforgettable. The pool is a dream after a long hike, and the room felt so luxe. Highly recommend booking a mountain view!
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The walls can be thin in the main lodge, and you might hear your neighbors or the hallway traffic.
- You hate standing on crowded shuttle buses (you board first here)
- You want a heated pool with a view that actually looks like the brochure
- You prefer a quiet, 'up-canyon' vibe over the busy tourist strip
Cleanliness & Maintenance
9.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable. Recent reviews consistently praise the 'immaculate' state of the rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Grout lines are clean, and the renovation really shows here.

- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though the pillows are the weak link (too thin).
- Odors & scents: Neutral and fresh. No lingering 'old lodge' mustiness.

- Annex King Balcony: Located across the street, these are newer, quieter, and have massive bathrooms.
- Main Lodge Top Floor: Essential if you stay in the main building to avoid overhead foot noise.
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor rooms in the Main Lodge (noise transfer from above)
- Rooms near the ice machine/stairwell in the main building
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love to request a room in the Annex building for the quietest experience. If the Annex is full, a top-floor room in the main lodge is my second choice to avoid foot noise. A view of the canyon is a priority!”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is there a resort fee?
No, and parking is free too. This is a rare 'what you see is what you pay' hotel in Zion.
How far is the park entrance?
About 3 miles. You are at Shuttle Stop 9, which takes about 10-15 minutes to ride down to the park entrance (Stop 1).
Is the pool open in winter?
Yes, the outdoor infinity pool is heated and open year-round, offering steam-rising views of the snow-dusted cliffs.
Can I walk to dinner?
Not easily. Most restaurants are 1-2 miles down the road. You'll want to drive or take the town shuttle.
Is it really the old Majestic View Lodge?
Yes. It has been heavily renovated and rebranded as a Hilton Tapestry property, but the 'bones' (and lack of elevators) remain.
Does the room have a fridge?
Yes, all rooms have a mini-fridge and a microwave, which is great for prepping trail snacks.
Insider Tips
- ✨
The 'Annex' building is technically across the street, but it's newer, quieter, and often cheaper.
- ✨
Because you are at Stop 9, you are the FIRST to board the shuttle into the park. You will get a seat while everyone at stops 8-2 stands.
- ✨
The on-site restaurant, Anu, serves surprisingly legit South American/Asian fusion (try the short rib gnocchi).
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'mice' issue from 2023 (under old ownership) seems resolved, but the stigma lingers in old forums — ignore it, it's clean now.
💡The pillows are weirdly flat; ask for extra immediately upon check-in.
💡The 'infinity' pool view is actually over a parking lot, but if you look up, the cliffs are majestic.
💡There is a wildlife museum attached to the property (legacy from the Majestic View days) that is quirky and worth a quick peek.
💡The WiFi in the Annex can be spotty compared to the main lodge.
