Vermilion Inn

A cheap, central bed in Kanab for North Rim road-trippers

Kanab, UT

About

The Vermilion Inn is a no-frills, budget motel in downtown Kanab, about 80 miles from the North Rim and roughly an hour from Antelope Canyon — a practical option if you're stringing together stops in this corner of the Colorado Plateau and don't need anything fancy. Rooms run cheap, sometimes under $40 a night, and guests consistently point to the central location and friendly front-desk staff as the draw.

What to expect

Budget rates: reviewers report paying as little as $33-35 for a two-queen room, breakfast included
Pool and jacuzzi on-site, though upkeep has been inconsistent — don't count on the hot tub
Free continental breakfast most mornings
Pet fee applies ($20 in recent reviews) — call ahead if traveling with a dog

This is a spot-check-your-expectations kind of place: some guests call the rooms clean and comfortable with a great price-to-location ratio, others have run into maintenance and cleanliness issues. If you're passing through Kanab on a North Rim or Antelope Canyon run and want a cheap bed for the night rather than a destination stay, it does the job — just book with modest expectations and confirm amenities when you call.

Avoid at all cosds. Took forever to find after dark as no lite signage for Vermilion Inn except for "Roadway inn" . Unacceptable, ! -10room; I was in room 129, the toilet had a large bowel movement, urine & toilet paper. I reported this g was moved to another room, nauseated. I was moved to 125, and ended up vomiting my dinner. There were small black anks crawling the floor. I slept on top of the covers & didn't use the shower. Disgusting. Would have left but nurefundble via Expedia app. Charged $20 for my dog, not known until I checked it. Worst experience EVERN

Don't be fooled by appearances. This hotel is the definition of horror. The only thing that's good is the Wi-Fi. The rest is catastrophic. There's nothing to save in this place. You can compare my photo of the pool with the one that appears on Google, and you'll see 🤣. FYI, the pool has been closed by the Ministry of Health for being unsanitary. Run away from this place and spend a little more money to sleep somewhere clean. We booked two nights, unfortunately. I won't even mention the service: towels are dirty and worn to the bone... And a little bonus: the photo of the fridge. RUN AWAY

The room is clean, the beds comfortable. We choose this place because of the pool and Jacuzzi advertised. The pool was cloudy and dirty and the Jacuzzi didn't even work though the owners wife assured me that it did. They were kind people but the place was still disappointing.
