Hotels near The University of Utah Graduate Center, St. George

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!

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.

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.

My wife and I have been staying here once a year for the past 10-15 years and have always found it to be first class. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable and the breakfast the best we've had in any motel in which we've stayed. We highly recommend staying at the Abbey Inn!

Free parking. SUPER price. SUPER breakfast. At walking distance to fast food restaurants. Fast and accurate check-in and check-out. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Coffee machine and fridge in the room. Old bathtub. 1hr to Zion by car.

We stayed here while passing through to go home. We will definitely return when going to St. George again. We loved that they had the option of both pools and the kids loved the playground! Our room was large and spacious and fit our family of 6 perfectly. The only complaint I have is that there isn't a latch lock on the top of the door, so my 2 year old kept trying to leave.

I stayed here b/c of another review that noted how clean this hotel is, and I would agree - the room and bathroom were super clean, though the carpet could use replacing. The hotel is easy to find and located among a number of chain restaurants and not far from groceries, etc for resupply. It was a little noisy with other guests while I was there (I think there was a cheer competition in town) but all of it was happy noise - lots of kids playing in the pool and families having a good time. What really put this place over the edge for me is that I made a HUGE mistake and booked a non-refundable reservation...for the same day that I booked it, aka the day before I arrived. Luckily the hotel found a room for me despite it being a friday and they applied my balance toward the new room rate. They were super understanding and three different people went out of their way to help me. That is a true differentiator for me!

THE WORST. AND A TOTAL NIGHTMARE TO RESOLVE. I changed my three-night reservation after one night. If I'd cancelled the reservation before checking in, I would have been charged for *one* night. Now this hotel is holding two additional nights, after agreeing to refund me the balance. Why I could not get out there fast enough: This hotel was depressing and had a strange chemical smell throughout the hallway and room. I was given a room overlooking the freeway and a car dealership -- or something like that -- with considerable light and noise. The ”kitchen” has no utensils -- not even forks. You have to go downstairs and ask for them. They allow you ”one free beverage” per day. When I asked to cancel the rest of the reservation: This reservation was made through Delta Airlines' hotels reservations. I contacted Delta after one miserable night at this place. Delta put me on hold and called the hotel. Delta then came back on the line and said that the hotel would release me from the rest of the reservation and refund me the balance. Relying on that representation from the hotel, I left this hotel, expecting the remaining two nights to be refunded. I ended up staying at the Red Mountain Resort up the road for the SAME PRICE. (check it out! it's lovely!) It's been nearly a week and no refund. Today, Delta contacted me and said the hotel is refusing to refund the balance that it had promised to refund. Now Delta is saying the hotel refuses to issue the refund. Not only is this hotel not worth the money, but it now is engaging in fraud.

One night stay on way to Colorado. Two rooms for our families. We were placed adjacent. However, the a/c died after 30 minutes. They changed the room, but we had to move our stuff up to the next story. Kind of a pain. The rooms were clean. The double queen layout worked great for two adults and two teenagers. One teen in the Queen and one in the trundle. Pool area really is phenomenal looking. But….it was soooo crowded. Kids everywhere. Jumping in. Running on the deck. Overtaking the jacuzzi. We saw that in other reviews. I think the issue (well, I know the issue) is that guests let in friends/family who live in town. I know this because there was a group of about 6 dads in a circle. One of them said “hey, it’s time to get our cars and head home.” About 15 people walked out. Kinda stinks that non-paying guests get to use the pool for free. The hotel issues wrist bands for guests (to stop this), but NO one comes out to monitor. What good does it do to issue wristbands if the hotel won’t monitor their own rules? Hiring at least one security guard would go a long way to curb the freeloaders. Izabella at the front desk was a great help with pool towels, questions about town, etc. super nice! The only reason not 5 stars is because of the pool issue.

We’ve stayed here several times in the last 6 years, and the property has continued to be beautifully maintained. All of the staff members that we’ve encountered have been welcoming, cheerful and helpful. Even though the free breakfast has the same items available every day, there are a lot of different choices. As usual, our room was clean and there were no obvious signs of wear.
