http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/hid25965 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r1091792 We have rented a few houseboats and powerboats from this marina and we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time. The houseboats are well equipped and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The only issue we have had is the powerboats that they rent out and the fact that the steering is really loose. We've advised the staff and they are aware but these are old and really need to be replaced. But, other than that, the experience is unforgettable! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r1091792 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r1091793 The hotel is O.K., nothing special, but so convenient if you are renting a houseboat the next morning. The houseboat rental is highly recommended. Staying out in the serene beautiful area of Lake Powell is so relaxing and rejuvenating. It's hard to leave! The houseboat comes complete with everything that you need. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r1091793 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456700 THE Worst part of my family's spring trip was staying at the Lake Powell Resort and Marina. We paid for a Family Winter Vacation package Which was supposed to include, two night stay, $50 food credit, and an all day boat rental.. Unfortunately, We did not get to go out on the boat due to strong winds. So, I was told that I would be credited $75 for the boat rental which was normally rented for 180/a day. When It was time to check out I was told that I would not receive any credit for the money I had spent at there restaurant,(THE DRIFTWOOD LOUNGE). (What happened to the $50 food credit?) I was told "NO SIR, WE GAVE YOU $50 BOAT CREDIT AND $25 FOOD CREDIT A TOTAL OF $75" I exclaimed that I had a $50 receipt from there restaurant and that they told me i was entitled to a $75 boat credit, for the day before, a total of $125. I was very upset but, I had both people behind the counter arguing with me. After arguing for sometime I just paid the amount they said was due. I just couldn't believe, I spent $50 at there restaurant eating what was probably the worst sh-t I've ever eaten and It took them for ever to serve us. I felt bad for my kids and my wife that we had to spend two nights here. I can only hope that when someone else plans a family trip that includes the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater, Sedona, etc. that they don't stop by this place on there way to Zion National Park. It was kind of like sliding in sh-t on your way to paradise. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456700 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456701 The only good part of this "resort" is the location. We had a lakeview room and the view was great. The rooms were old and smelled funny. We asked for the maid to come and clean the room again, hoping to get rid of the smell, but she just made it worse. Some of the pillows were also stained and we had to request new ones to be brought over. There was no easy beach access from the room. We had to drive down to find somewhere to set up our stuff for the day. Over the phone, the resort employee told us there was somewhere we could set up within walking distance of our room and not to worry: this is not true! Expect to drive somewhere if you plan on sitting on the beach or renting watercraft. If going to the Lake Powell Resort, don't expect too much. They use the term "resort" liberally and to try and make it sound better than it is. I have stayed at Motel 6's that were cleaner and newer than this place. Make sure to spend the extra money and get the lakeview room, because that's the only thing that made this a 3-star review. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456701 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456702 Got the deluxe room on the second floor, so view was beautiful. Was pretty expensive for what you got. Meal at the restaurant was so-so. Had to go to lobby for wireless internet. Three stars for location and scenary, but not much of a value. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456702 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456703 The view from the resort room, especially the restaurant is incredible. But if it were only about the room this resort would be awesome...unfortunately, it's about so much more and this resort is lacking in many areas. (1) ROOMS - small, dimly lit, 70's-style decoration (although they claimed recently upgraded) and room smelled of rat feces and urine, (2) SERVICE - very poor. Someone really needs to teach the staff basic things such as courtesy and waiting on customers in a timely manner, (3) FOOD SERVICE - the food is okay, but the service was completely lacking. It took seven minutes to even get recognized to get seated - AND we were the only ones in line and one of only six other tables in the entire restaurant. As I wrote in #2, the staff really lacks basic customer service, (4) PARK PERMIT - the website and the staff neglect to ever mention there is a fee to get into the park where the resort is (although the fee is only $15 - this should be mentioned to anyone making a reservation.) Overall - save your money, stay at the Marriott in Page which has much larger rooms at a less expensive rate. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r456703 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r597829 Had a wonderful stay! We stayed in their newly renovated Lakeview Room which was clean, and well-appointed. Despite the reviews, you need to book a Lakeview Deluxe Room. Service was friendly and helpful. We rented a houseboat and stayed at the hotel the night before. We will definitely come back again next year! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r597829 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r597830 We were a little surprised by the park charge that increased our night stay by $15. The location was beautiful. However, our room faced the parking lot. We could only see a peek of the water. The cost/value ratio is what brings my traveler score to a three. The linens/decorations were outdated but clean. The bathtub had non-skid strips that were peeling up & appeared soiled. It was nice to have a large sliding glass door w/balcony. The coffee pot was visibly soiled. Good points: pet friendly (for an extra $20), Neutrogena products in the room; Bad point: no continental breakfast http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r597830 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r597831 We both enjoyed our trip very much. The room was spacious enough, the bed was much more comfortable than many other hotels I've stayed in, and I, personally enjoyed the food very much! They offered a breakfast buffett if you want or order from the menu and dinner was always good. We rented a 21' Baja Ski Boat and weren't too impressed but are spoiled by our own boat. This trip was, by the most part, to see if it was worth bringing our own boat back, and we both can't wait to go back again with our boat, and stay at the resort or rent a houseboat! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Lake_Powell_Resort/r597831
