This little motel is about 1 hour from Bryce Canyon and 30 minutes from Zion. A super convenient location between the two national parks for the price! We had a wonderful three night stay here in room 3 after renting it out on Airbnb. Provides what it needs to. Comfy beds and hot water. They also provided two trial shampoos/conditioners and plenty of towels. Room included a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and heat/AC. We needed more toilet paper so we reached out and they responded in under an hour. Everything was pretty clean upon arrival. Great national park getaway motel for two people at a low price. Our only minor observation was that the toilet water was always discolored even after flushing. The sink water was very clean so we didn’t worry about it at all.

This is a great little motel in a fantastic location- just a mile or two from the Thunderbird restaurant and in between Zion and Bryce. It was a refreshing change from the busyness of Springdale! We stayed in the Bryce room and it was spotless and smelled so fresh- not the “fresh cleaning chemical” smell but actually CLEAN. Bathroom was very small and had no exhaust fan, but the water pressure was great (so nice after a long day of hiking) and had bright lighting. Big mini fridge with room for all of our road-trip snacks. Check in was easy- they email you a door code. The only negatives we had was that the room was close to the road so the trucks at night were pretty loud, and there were only two very poor pillows on each bed. Overall we liked the place and would go back!

This little motel was great for our family’s needs. We needed a place to spend the night after spending the day in Zion NP. The location was so convenient. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. There was a binder filled with so much information on surrounding sites to see. They let us check in early to drop our bags off before we went to the park.

This is a small RV park associated with a small hotel. It has full hookups but also a bathroom and laundry. Easy pull-in level rv spot with plenty of space. It is located on route 89 approximately 20-30 minutes from Zion National Park and the drive to the park was beautiful!

The Cabin at the Mt. Carmel RV park is fantastic. Great location, quiet in a beautiful setting. The cabin is cozy and spacious with a well stocked kitchen. The beds are comfortable and the outdoor set up is great. Highly recommended. We definitely will be back.

Staying at Mt. Carmel motel was one of the best decisions I made for my short and sweet trip. It was everything I wanted, clean, affordable, simple, and easy. It had everything I needed. The mini fridge and coffee maker were a definite plus and not something I expected for how inexpensive my room was. The staff was super helpful and communicative with every question and concern I had. Check in and check out was quick and easy with the lock box key. I did not have to waste any time checking in or out which was a huge deal for me because I wanted to maximize my time exploring the area. As a solo traveler it felt quiet and safe. It was about half an hour to forty minutes to get to Zion park, the drive goes very quick because of how scenic it is and it’s a straight shot to get there. I highly recommend. I will be staying again in the future, hopefully. If you plan to stay here, I hope you enjoy it and are respectful to this well maintained and loved old motel. They are hard to come by. Safe travels!

About 12 years ago I started traveling from out of state to explore the canyons of the Zion area. My group always stayed at the Mt Carmel Motel-it was affordable, clean, comfortable and safe to leave scads of gear outside. I later moved west and now always camp out of my truck in public lands when I’m in the area. This last weekend I was out in the weather and decided I needed a break from the high winds. I was SO glad I remembered this place!!! I stayed in Room 6. There was some road noise, but not bad-and the room heater (so efficient and honestly quiet) has enough white noise to cover that. It is still amazingly affordable compared to everything else in SE Utah. Beyond that-the bed is so comfortable, everything is super clean and the bathroom remodel and room redecorating is top notch. Next time I am hunting for a campsite with no luck, I will definitely stay there again - I sincerely appreciate the ease of booking over the phone too. Love the new-to-me options for getting meals for the next day’s adventures, as well!

We booked #7 Farm Room for 3 nights. This room had just the right size for us and comes with a king size bed. Everything was perfectly clean, the bathroom was great and air conditioning did its job well. The location of this motel is between Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. So for those, who want to enjoy both parks, it‘s just the right spot. The hosts are very attentive and even provide information about local events. So in the end we can fully recommend to stay at this motel.
