★★★
Most of the tired hikers and canyon rim gazers
visiting the park stay at this large motel, and with good reason—not only is Ruby's
among the closest lodgings to the park, but the lobby is among the busiest places
in the area, with tour desks where you can arrange excursions of all sorts, from
horseback and all-terrain-vehicle rides to helicopter flights.
Spread among nine buildings, the modern motel rooms contain art that depicts
area scenery, wood furnishings, and tub/shower combos. Deluxe units, located in
the main building, have either jetted tubs or two-person jetted spas. Rooms at the
back of the complex will be a bit quieter, but farther from the lobby. There is also a
campground on the property. (See “Camping,” below.) All units are nonsmoking.

BryceCountryCabins
★★★
There's something special about staying in a genuine log
cabin during a national park vacation, but there's also something very appealing
about hot showers and warm beds. Bryce Country Cabins offers the best of both
worlds, with modern log cabins and a historic pioneer cabin. The grounds are
nicely landscaped, with good views, although we wish the units were farther from
the highway.
