  The good: awesome location just outside the park. The bad: very expensive at $350 per night in October, room was just OK and showed its age, restaurant was acceptable for dinner but the buffet breakfast was unacceptably bad - extremely limited with powdered eggs and canned fruit - even by Best Western standards (we’ve stayed at many) the breakfast is really bad. Ruby’s seems to own most of the businesses in the small town so unfortunately there are few options. Competition is definitely needed to raise the bar!

  Bryce Canyon is an amazing place. Almost everyone was kind and friendly except the people at Dark Ranger Telescope Tours who complained about the other businesses in the area during their evening presentation we attended. (That was a terrible experience for many people attending the event that night). I’m looking forward to visiting this area again.

  Ruby’s Inn was one of our favorite stays on our Mighty Five Utah road trip. Super convenient to the park for easy access in and out. Breakfast and dinner was very good. Had snacks and gift shop, along with their restaurant that was so close we walked to. Beds were comfy. Our waitress even pointed out everything that was gluten free at their restaurant for dinner! Definitely will stay again!

  Convenient location, but rooms are very dated, noisy, and basic While the proximity to Bryce Canyon National Park is unbeatable, the property itself leaves a lot to be desired. The Rooms: Our room was very tired, outdated, and in clear need of a refresh. The carpet looked like it hadn't been replaced since the 1960s, and the whole space felt dilapidated and heavily worn. Soundproofing is almost nonexistent—you can hear everything from adjoining rooms, foot traffic outside, and noisy HVAC units throughout the night. The Food: The hot and cold buffet breakfast included with the stay is adequate if you just need a quick bite before hitting the trails, but don’t expect high quality. It’s very basic mass-catered food (standard scrambled egg mix, bulk meats, packaged items) designed to feed large crowds fast. Verdict: You are strictly paying for the location here. It functions okay as a basic place to crash for a night before visiting the park, but between the noise and the dated room condition, it was a disappointing stay overall.

  Disappointing and seriously overpriced Do not stay here unless you have to. We had three side-by-side rooms in the Deer Lodge section, and unfortunately, all three had the same strong smell of wet dog. It seemed likely to be coming from the old carpeting and/or the older wall-mounted air-conditioning units. We left the doors open as long as we reasonably could to air the rooms out, but it made very little difference. The rooms were also in significant need of updating and maintenance. We found missing grout, loose tiles, tattered bed skirts, and loose seams in the wallpaper. For more than $400 per room, including taxes and fees, in mid-September, I expected a much cleaner, better-maintained room. We did not ask to be moved because the hotel appeared to be close to capacity, and we didn’t want to create an issue for our group. Still, having three rooms with essentially the same problems made it clear that this wasn’t an isolated issue with one particular room. The complimentary breakfast buffet was clean, but the food was very low quality and didn’t do much to improve the overall experience. The biggest problem is that there aren’t many alternatives in the immediate area, which makes it easy for Ruby’s Inn to command a premium price. Unfortunately, the price does not match the condition of the accommodations. We noticed that a new SpringHill Suites is being built a little farther from the park entrance. If the new hotel offers a cleaner, more modern experience, the extra 10-minute drive will absolutely be worth considering. Hopefully, some additional competition will encourage Ruby’s Inn to finally invest in updating its rooms. For the price we paid, we expected much better.
