What guests think

At Aikens Lodge, travelers regularly highlight its retro, Route 66-style charm, clean rooms, and central, walkable location in Kanab, while also noting tradeoffs like older infrastructure and off-site check-in and breakfast at a sister hotel.

Many guests find the beds comfortable and appreciate family suites, parking outside the door, and nostalgic touches like fire pits and outdoor seating. Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful, though the on-site office can be closed or short-staffed. Common downsides include loud or inefficient AC or heaters, thin walls, very small showers, occasional maintenance or cleanliness hiccups, and a breakfast experience that ranges from excellent to basic. Expect a simple, retro motel stay in a prime location.

The Aiken's Lodge is a great historic motel in downtown Kanab. Best Western apparently owns it now and is running it into the ground. No reception, pool in disrepair, breakfast is at the BW, not the Aiken's. The electricity is spotty. Needs some investment to make it what it once was. Could be so much more than what it is today.

I checked in at the Best Wester. Aiden’s is owned by them. Sickens is having work done but we were able to use any facilities at Best Western next door. Staff was friendly and helpful. Just what we needed for 2 nights of National Park visits.

Great value option for Kanab. Comfortable and clean rooms. In room facilities were good but unfortunately the pool is out action at the moment. There is a small check in but is only open at certain times but you can check in at their sister property (Best Western) just down the road. This is where breakfast is and you can also use the pool there.

I loved this little 50’s style court motel. Everything was clean updated and comfortable. The room was spacious and parking was right at the door. They had a beautiful pool with lights overhead at night. The pool had toys and towels for guests. There were fire pits, grills and even a food truck on the premises. All so nicely decorated and well thought out. The little town was also cute and well lit with so many little stores and restaurants around. I hate we were only there one day. I would have loved to stay longer.

The office hours are weird, but we timed it right. The stairs to our room were very sketchy; we nicknamed them the death stairs. The room is super cute. The fridge worked really well. The ac filter was VERY DIRTY and we only had six tissues (we went to the store and bought more). The worst thing was the bugs. There were elm leaf beetles in our room and covering the outside of our door and the light above it. Every time I opened the door, we got swarmed. I killed at least 50 of them, inside. We noticed the door has gaps, and watched some of them crawl in through those gaps. There were hundreds of dead beetles lining the threshold (inside) and in the morning, the outside threshold was covered in hundreds of dead bugs. Overall, we liked the stay, the space of the three rooms, and the vibe of the place. If the bug situation is remedied, we’d definitely stay again because we pass through 4+ times each year.

This motel is super cute. Clean, except I could smell dust near my corner of the bed, but this is the desert. Upon check in we had to walk to the other hotel nearby to check in as Aikens didn’t seem to be staffed. Breakfast was also at the next door hotel as well, minor inconvenience but weather was great and breakfast was too so no big deal just kind of odd. Parking right outside the door was convenient. I’d stay here again.

The office isn't always open, but they have sister hotel (Best Western) just a few minutes walk down the sidewalk. The breakfast isn't the best. It's more of a morning snack. The staff is very helpful.

We could also hear the neighbors talking.

Room is cute & comfortable. They were short-staffed so I had to walk almost a block to check-in at another hotel which was owned by the same people, then walk back to my room. It was challenging to get the shower water at the right temperature, but after a few minutes, it was fine. Breakfast was included & also served at the other hotel. I also checked out at the other hotel.

This is an older motel, but the rooms have been maintained well. We arrived to a note on the closed office telling us to check in at a different hotel. I guess help is hard to find in the off season? It didn't inspire confidence in our accommodations. The beds were uncomfortable. The shower was small. The advertised breakfast was also available at the other hotel. This motel stay was fine for an overnight, but I'll probably take my chances somewhere else next time.

This hotel was a fantastic vibe, however i get the impression the owners are changing or retiring or something. Everything to do had to be done at the best western just down the street from the hotel total walking distance so very mildly inconvenient. Please note that if i had the money i would totally buy this place and run it myself thats how great the vibe is there, but the checkin was at the best western, the pool was at the best western, the breakfast was yup, at the best western. About the only thing at the hotel was an ice machine. I really enjoyed the stay and place but want other travelers to be advised because none of the best western information is made clear until you arrive and try to check in at the hotel.

I’d probably stay again because it’s cheap. However, I got in somewhat late around 9 PM and I had to walk down to the best Western to check in a half block or so away. When I got to the hotel room, there was no heat and it was too tired to walk back.

The breakfast at the Best Western was very good. We enjoyed the eggs and cheese, and the sausages. It was nice to have a variety of syrups for the waffles. What we didn't appreciate were the two large dogs at the table at the table next to us. They were clearly pets and not service dogs. I realize it is impossible for management to deny the owners who only had to lie and say they were service dogs. The room at Aiken's Lodge was adequte. It was very dated and didn't have a microwave, but it was all we needed. The night was quiet and we slept well.
