About

Aikens Lodge is a straightforward, no-frills motel on Kanab's main strip, about 80 miles from the North Rim and a handy stop if you're routing through town on the way to Highway 89A or stocking up before the drive up to Jacob Lake. Rooms are basic and older but kept clean, with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a fridge in each room; a seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub are open in warmer months. Check-in runs through the neighboring Best Western Red Hills a short walk away, and a complimentary breakfast is served there too - guests consistently call it easy and better than expected for the price. With a 4.1 rating across 400 reviews, it's a solid budget pick rather than a destination stay: reviewers praise clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, though a few have run into thin front-desk coverage during peak season, so confirming your reservation ahead of arrival isn't a bad idea.

This was a last minute booking through Priceline due to everything within close proximity to Zion NP was either booked, closed (campgrounds) or approaching 800 dollars a night. Overall was pleasantly surprised. Our purpose was just to have a place to sleep and this was more than adequate. There are absolutely no frills or amenities, but we didn’t need any. Having to check in at the Best Western down the block was a little inconvenient, but makes sense. Room was clean. No bugs, no smell. Definitely an old property, but has been maintained well. There was no noise, and our room was able to accommodate our family of 6. Room had a fridge, no microwave. Tv service minimal. Breakfast was at the best western (pretty easy walk) and was very good. I would book here again if needed.

⚠️ Warning We checked into Aikens Lodge on 25/09/2025 and were greeted not by staff but by a notice on the door stating the reception was shut due to staffing shortages. Guests were told to go to the Best Western Red Hills a short walk away. Because of this, the pool was inaccessible, and breakfast for both properties was crammed into a single undersized dining area. None of these major changes were communicated to us beforehand, even though our booking included these facilities at Alkene Lodge. The room we were given was in very poor condition: thick dust, a shower covered in limescale, and a filthy, extremely noisy air-conditioning unit. On the following day, we requested either to be moved to Best Western or to receive a refund. Only after pressing firmly did we manage to secure a refund for the unused nights. Overall, an extremely disappointing stay. Lodge on 25/09/2025 and were greeted not by staff but by a notice on the door stating the reception was shut due to staffing shortages.

Absolute gem of a hotel! I travel a lot to Kanab for work and this immediately made it to the top of my list for stays. Don't expect anything super fancy, but the retro aspects and SUPER CLEAN rooms are so perfect, quiet, comfy, cozy. Plenty of amenities and VERY friendly and helpful staff, rooms are very cozy and it's in the perfect location to walk to anywhere you want to go down main street. Also DOG FRIENDLY I will absolutely stay here again, I cannot recommend this cozy place enough!

I stayed here for one night and really liked it. The room was clean, with no unpleasant smells, and the bathroom was neat. I especially liked the little light by the bed. Overall, everything was good, especially for the price, I paid around $70, and that’s a very nice deal.
