Best Western Plus Cedar City

The two-story brick exterior with outdoor hallways is reminiscent of a motel, but inside, the cozy lobby mixes a rustic cabin-like feel with a contemporary sensibility. Warm wooden sloped ceilings are a nice touch and pair well with the exposed stone fireplace. Furnishings are standard chain fare: patterned armchairs as well as a cluster of tables and chairs that doubles as the breakfast area. Guests praise the property's cleanliness, and though it's lacking decor-wise, it's nevertheless a great option in the area, offering a handful of perks and freebies that add value to a stay. The property attracts both leisure and business travelers, while the summer and fall months see a lot of theater buffs in town for the annual Utah Shakespearean Festival.

The hotel is situated in downtown Cedar City, a central location that's within walking distance of dining options, bars, shops, and conveniences like banks. Nearby attractions that can be reached on foot include the Frontier Homestead State Park Museum (11-minute walk), the Southern Utah Museum of Art (10-minute walk), and Southern Utah University (17-minute walk). The annual Utah Shakespearean Festival is a popular attraction that draws many guests in the summer and fall months, and the festival sites are also within a 10-minute walk.

Rooms are fairly plain and chain-like in terms of decor, with striped carpeting, dark wood furniture, and off-white walls that are bare save for one or two small framed prints. They're spacious and comfortably furnished, with armchairs for seating as well as work desks with ergonomic chairs. Brown bed runners and red accent pillows contrast white bed linens, and the two-tone curtains with a metallic sheen also fit in with the earthy color scheme. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, alarm clocks, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are standard, with sinks and large vanities in separate areas from the toilet/bathing rooms. They're equipped with shower/tub combos or walk-in showers. Individual toiletries and hairdryers are provided.
