Hotels near Speedway, St. George

Before going to Las Vegas, stop at St. George, because Curious decided to try this hotel on the cliff. It is indeed a well-deserved name. The room has a small balcony with unobstructed views of the city and the snowy mountains in the distance. The hotel's restaurant is also awesome, so if you want to go to the restaurant and suggest to go early, you can sit by the window. Because the hotel is on a small hill, there is definitely no place to visit nearby. If you want to go, you have to drive to the foot of the mountain. The hotel's breakfast was delivered to the room, although it was simple but it was one of the few hotels in the United States to provide breakfast.

Stay about 200 nights a year in hotels for work and have to say this BW was a delight. Upon arrival and check in was recognized as a Diamond Select member and given the little goody bag with waters and crackers. Seems small, but earning loyalty status means at this level means you are one of the most loyal of customers. So many BW's fail on that regard lately. Checked in and given a room in the furthest back building, away from traffic, per my request. Although it was a second floor, with no elevators that was only a slight inconvenience from having to lug 2 giant suit cases up on day one, down on day 12. Room was very clean, plenty of pillows, towels, etc. Bed was comfy, but on the hard side. Had a room with a balcony with was a plus. A lot of hotels with a balcony dont have any place to sit, here there were two metal chairs and a small table. Perfect to sit outside and do my end of day wrap up for work on the computer. Wifi was fast with not problems connecting or remaining connected which is sometimes a problem. Once check in I never went to lobby for anything, nor went for the breakfast so cant rate them on that. Kept a do not disturb sign out all but one day and was never bothered. The one day I took it down was for a good cleaning that was completed efficiently and well. I'll be back to St George soon and this is where I will be staying. Giving this a BIG YES!

Convenient transportation, typical motel, environment and facilities compared to his price, very cost-effective, free parking. The front desk was a lady who had dinner last year when I was seated, super friendly. I went to the Thai restaurant she recommended. The taste is amazing, and it is the restaurant that the locals love. If you only require comfort and convenience, it is the best choice.

I truly don’t like to give businesses negative reviews, unless they really deserve it…well, the Red Lion in St. George deserves it. I drove in from Riverside, CA on my way to Colorado for business, and I had my dog with me. I booked the room through hotels.com, and while other hotels had explicit pet fees listed right up front, the Red Lion’s listing did not, so I assumed I would be paying the standard rate for a room at a pet friendly hotel (which was about $70 for a night, pretty average and reasonable). Upon arriving after a 5-hour drive and getting in around 3:00 am, I was informed by the night clerk (who took almost a 1/2 hour to check me in because of “computer issues”) that there would be an additional non-refundable $100 pet fee, and of course $12 in taxes just for the pet fee. I asked her why this wasn’t clearly stated on the listing on hotels.com, and her response was “take it up with them.” Once I got to the room, I did find this policy buried under the “Policies” section of the Red Lion listing, so there wasn’t anything I could do about it. Upon finally getting my door key and finding my room, I walked into an unsecured door to find my hallway, which had disgusting carpet and was littered with chip crumbs. I needed to fill my cooler with ice, so I took it downstairs to the ice machine. Once I had my cooler filled with ice and now heavy, I realized that the hotel had no elevator, so I had to find a hand dolly and pull my cooler up a flight of stairs, step by step. My actual room had large stains on the linens and a very musty smell, on top of being just very outdated. The front desk gave me a late check out of 12:00, so I was there for 9 hours and spent almost $200 on the hotel stay. I wouldn’t have minded the dinginess of the accommodations so much if the room had been more reasonably priced. But for $185 per night, I expect A LOT more from a hotel than what the Red Lion offered. The hotel does have a pool and basketball courts and a pool table and a lot of other things that I didn’t use, and I imagine it’s probably more aimed at families or traveling sports teams or whatever. So, maybe if that’s you, you’ll have a better experience at the Red Lion than I did. But if you’re just needing a place to crash with your dog for the night while driving through Utah, find somewhere else. I stayed at a pet-friendly hotel last summer in Richfield for about $80-per-night, and that is where I will be staying again the next time I drive I-15 through Utah…NOT at the St. George Red Lion.

I just returned from a trip to St. George for golf that my group has been attending for over 20 years with 50 guys that flew in from all over the US. The last hotel that we were staying at for 12 years had new management and decided that they could not accommodate us regardless that we helped them with our visits for two years during CoVid-19. Mindy the Sales Manager was eager to meet all of our hotel accommodations. The Staybridge Suites was a fantastic property, clean, comfortable and very functional for our group. David the engineer and his team were always present if the need for service noticed. Lena and her kitchen staff did a spectacular job of making sure that our breakfasts were not only delicious but made sure we could be feed in time to meet our tee times. Also, the afternoon treats and special Awards banquet was above and beyond. We are eager to book our stay at the Staybridge Suites.
