Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cedar City by IHG

Lifeline! On the way from Baker NV to Zion NP. Bad feeling about prebooked motel in back of beyond NV small town, so went online from car and found this place for an available one night booking. Glad we did so - conveniently located not far from main highway. Staff v.helpful in providing local map and recommending restaurants. Typically reliable Holiday Inn - nothing flash but ticked all the boxes.

House hunting Clean and good service friendly staff breakfast was good kind of dark in the hall but it’s not a new hotel needs a little upgrade for the carpet and lighting. It was cold snowy and wet but the room was warm and there was stuff on the ground outside so not to slip

So, So This hotel is just off the highway. Nothing special about it whatsoever. A convenience for travelers. The rooms are typical. The breakfast bar is mediocre at best, low quality ingredients, especially the eggs, taste like they are made from powder. Nothing healthy. Hotels are getting in the habit of offering free breakfast as a way to enticed customers. Unfortunately, the breakfast offerings are substandard.

Good Place in Cedar City Stayed 1 night as a family (2 queen bed room) and happy overall. The property is easy to get to from I-15 and there is a convenience store nearby. There is an indoor pool. Breakfast was as expected. The room was clean and there was not a lot of noise from other guests.

Overall negative experience - but good breakfast. Our stay here was simply a horrible experience. Arriving in the afternoon of 6/21, we had hoped to rest in the room until the evening Shakespeare play performance. There was constant thumping, bumping and banging noises from the adjacent room, so no rest was possible. I reported it to the desk when we left for the play. The plays run late, so we get to bed around midnight and get up at 4 am for a commitment early Saturday morning. Get back to the hotel around 3 pm, hoping to get a nap before the evening play. Same thumping, bumping and banging next door just like the day before. It is not normal or natural for anyone in a hotel to make that much noise - and constantly, with no letup. So, no nap. Reported it to the desk again as we were leaving for dinner before the play. Got back late last night after the play and got to sleep after midnight. Noise in adjacent room starts up again not long after 7 am. Not only waking us up, but making it so that we just got ready and left, since staying in the room was intolerable. On top of that, the room and halls smell like dogs. The room was especially bad. My wife has allergies to dogs and cats, so the policy of catering to pets (including very large dogs) doesn’t work for us. We can’t count on housekeeping to clean up after animals have been in a room either. Wrapper on the floor under the bathroom counter (not ours, and not sure what was in the wrapper - didn’t pick it up) was there upon arrival and still there after Saturday’s “cleaning.” The hotel is obviously cheaply built and sound travels far too well through the walls and floors. We could hear a lot of noise above us while eating breakfast too, which was not as objectionable as when trying to rest in a private room. Still, whatever was going on in the room next to us (presuming it was kids jumping and running around constantly) is not acceptable behavior in any hotel by anyone’s standard. Being a IHG member for many years, and traveling worldwide a lot for work and leisure, this was one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had. There are many other hotel choices in Cedar City and it’s best to avoid this one - in our opinion. On a positive note, the team putting out breakfast, tending to the guests, and cleaning up the eating area were great (all 3 of them).
