Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas Kids This is the original houseboat-rental
operation on Lake Powell, and houseboats here range in size from 46 to 75 feet, sleep
anywhere from 8 to 22 people, and come complete with showers and a fully equipped
kitchen. For deluxe on-the-water accommodations, opt for one of the 62-foot “Journey”
houseboats. If you're coming in the summer, splurge on a boat with some sort of cooling
system.

Hotels & Motels
Best Western Arizonainn Perched right at the edge of the mesa on which Page is
built, this modern motel has a fine view across miles of desert. While the guest rooms are
unremarkable and are basically just standard motel rooms, about half have lake views. Be
sure to ask for one of these. If you can't get a room with a view, you can at least hang out
by the pool; it's got that same 100-mile view.
716 Rimview Dr. (P. O. Box 250), Page, AZ 86040. & 800/826-2718 or 928/645-2466. Fax [phone].

Courtyard by Marriott Located at the foot of the mesa on which Page is built
and adjacent to the Lake Powell National Golf Course, this is the top in-town choice. It's
also the closest you'll come to a golf resort in this corner of the state. Although you'll pay
a premium for views of the golf course or lake, it's a worthwhile investment. Guest rooms
are larger than those at most area lodgings. Moderately priced meals are served in a casual
restaurant that has a terrace overlooking the distant lake. The 18-hole golf course has
great views of the surrounding landscape.
600 Clubhouse Dr. (P.O. Box 4150), Page, AZ 86040. & 800/321-2211 or 928/645-5000. Fax 928/645-
5004. www.marriott.com/pgacy. 153 units. $89-$189 double. Children 17 and under stay free in parent's
room. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Amenities: Restaurant; lounge; exercise room; 18-hole golf course; Jacuzzi;
outdoor pool; room service. In room: A/C, TV, hair dryer, Wi-Fi.

Lake Powell Resort This hotel at the sprawling Wahweap Marina 5 miles north
of Page should be your first lodging choice in the area. As the biggest hotel in the area,
the Lake Powell Resort features lots of resort amenities and activities, but it is often
overwhelmed by busloads of tour groups. Consequently, don't expect very good service.
Guest rooms are arranged in several long two-story wings, and every unit has either a
balcony or a patio. Half of the rooms have lake views; those in the west wing have the
better vantage point, as the east wing overlooks a coal-fired power plant. The resort also
offers EcoRooms, which have bathroom floors and counters made from recycled glass,
and carpets made with recycled materials. The Rainbow Room (see “Where to Dine,”
below) offers fine dining. Because of all the tour groups that stay here, getting a reserva-
tion can be difficult.
