Majestic View feels a bit like a motel when you first pull up. The rooms are not attached to the main lobby, so you will have to drive to check in, then drive to your hotel room. It's a bit inconvenient to walk outside to get to the restaurant or lobby, especially during a cold winter visit. Not a big fan of outdoor entry hotels as they seem more like motels, however, the the rates are affordable and the property is pretty clean and quiet. Despite the setbacks, you likely are going to be spending most of your time exploring gorgeous Zion, and will simply want a clean, quiet place to come back to, which is exactly what you will find at the Majestic Lodge.

The rooms at Majestic are a bit small, yet decorated very nicely in a charming rustic theme. The highlight is the individual patio with gorgeous views of the red rocks. Every room has a great view as they all face the beautiful rock formations. The highway noise is a bit distracting when sitting out on the deck, however, it's a small price to pay for such wonderful views. A coffee maker, complete with organic coffee, and organic bathroom products are a few nice natural alternatives you will receive.

During the off-season, you can find rates for under $100 per night. This is a real steal considering you have easy access to one of the most gorgeous parks in the country. For a clean hotel with decent amenities and a nice on-site restaurant, I'd say it's a pretty good deal for the area.

For the affordability, nice year-round pool area, attractive rustic theme, and close distance to the park, I would recommend Majestic View Lodge. A comfortable place to come back to each night (with the added perks of a relaxing hot tub and great breakfast restaurant), Majestic has just about everything you need for a relaxing weekend escape to Zion National Park.
