The private balconies and terraces of the rooms face both towering red rock formations and the Virgin River. There are handcrafted furnishings, a bench at the water's edge, and the sounds of a waterfall. The hotel boasts close proximity to all the area attractions. And with in room kitchenettes, you can choose to go out and be social, or stay in and rest after each days adventures.

One August 2009 reviewer said, "This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. The room was 700+ sq ft on the second floor, overlooking the river. It had high vaulted ceilings, wood floors, large flat panel TV, large bathroom (even with a bidet) and a balcony to sit on and enjoy the river. It also has a small kitchen area with a small refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, sink and clean dishes and utensils. It felt more like a condo and was nice to return to after spending all day hiking in Zion. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and nice linens. It also included a small dining table with four chairs and sitting area with a sofa sleeper. There is a laundry facility available to all hotel guests with laundry detergent, softener and dryer sheets available to purchase. The hotel staff was great and very knowledgeable about activities in town, restaurants and hiking in Zion. We checked in late and there was someone available 24 hours and even at the late hour we checked in she was very friendly and helpful providing a lot of information for our stay. It's located close to the park entrance, shopping and restaurants. There was a cafe called Elements across from the hotel registration that serves coffee, drinks and Danishes and sells souvenirs. This was a great morning stop before heading into Zion. There is a free shuttle that runs through town and to the park entrance with a stop right near the front of the hotel. It runs from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm daily.''

Another online reviewer said, "My absolute favorite location in the Southwest. The hotel has sparkling clean rooms, nice pool and spa, commanding views of rich red rock, azure blue sky, verdant Dogwood trees, and in December, clean white virgin snow over the Virgin River. What's not to love?''

One August 2009 online reviewer said, "We booked the room on a gamble, site unseen, while we were traveling from Ogden, Utah to visit Zion. After arriving, we were highly impressed with the room, the pool/spa and the staff. The location is ideal for accessing the restaurants in the small town of Springdale and the stops for the park shuttle are close by. For eating, I would recommend the restaurant on site, the Pizza Noodle Company which is right next door and Wildcat Willies which is directly across the street. All in all this is a great place. The only thing I think would be beneficial for Pioneer Lodge to do would be to give free coffee to its registered guests in the morning. Also free access to the internet would be great too.''

A second reviewer from 2007 said, "Recently renovated and it shows. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Our room had a decent size fridge and microwave which is very convenient if you are looking to save some $$$ on dining. The only thing preventing me from giving four stars is the fact that the rooms don't have coffee makers, so I have had to shell out about $5 a day for a coffee and a refill. One perk you might not find elsewhere, is that you can use their WiFi in your hotel room; even though it isn't advertised.''
