What guests think

Travellers describe Bybee's Steppingstone Motel as a clean, thoughtfully updated roadside stay in Tropic, offering simple, well-equipped rooms and cottages and an easy base for Bryce Canyon, with smooth self check-in for late arrivals.

Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, though on-site presence can be limited in the evening.

There is no on-site dining or breakfast noted, so guests rely on nearby restaurants and cafés in town. A practical, no-frills stop for visiting Bryce Canyon.

Convenient location right on the main road with parking spots directly outside the rooms. Very clean and spacious with clear instructions for how to use everything. Gas station and restaurants nearby so everything is handy. Accommodate late arrivals and make it easy to contact them if checking in after office hours, so everything went smoothly.

I was quite disappointed with my stay. The room amenities felt outdated, and the bathroom sink was especially unpleasant—if a real picture of it had been shown on the booking site, I wouldn’t have reserved this room. The room also had a strong moldy smell that became noticeable shortly after the initial perfume scent faded. The bathroom itself was quite small. While I appreciated the quiet exhaust fan, it only activated when humidity levels were high and couldn't be easily turned on manually, which was frustrating. Another issue was the lack of service in the evening. After dinner, I returned hoping to ask about switching to a different room due to the smell, but there was no one at the front desk to assist. Overall, I wouldn't choose to stay here again unless there were significant updates and better service availability.

I didn't find many selections in the area outside of Bryce Canyon; this looked nice on pics. It was okay for one night but I was very concerned b/c of the strong perfumy scent in the room. The fan/ac was off. I have sensitivities and unfortunately became congested. I opened the window all night and had the AC on and barely stayed. The hot shower was nice, but I prob wouldn't stay here again.

You’re staying in Tropic for a reason, and this place adds a sense of “luxury/comfort” to the experience. Individual units, very quiet, memory foam mattress (makes me want to buy one asap), tiled shower, high end soaps,etc. Keurig (stocked), across road from dining options and short drive from Bryce. Very nice/informative office (maybe owner?) Would definitely stay here again.

The outside is very unassuming and I questioned myself for a moment when I pulled into the parking lot. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! The room was spacious and the bed was super comfy. My only complaint is that the shower curtain didn’t have those little magnets on the bottom to keep it attached to the tub and prevent it from blowing in and touching you.

Room was clean and bed was great. Lots of noise from water pipes. Didn’t care for the constant on and off of the heater. It would be better if the heater had a constant on to drown out the other noises. Refrigerator made a lot of noise as well. Room needs a little renovation but nice.

Although compact the room had everything we needed including a refrigerator with a freezer. The shower was great with plenty of hot water with good pressure and the showerhead was at the perfect height. It was very convenient to Bryce Canyon and the coffee shop and pizza place across the street had good food. The only down side was that the air conditioner unit was incredibly noisy and made it difficult to sleep.

We arrived after 7 so no one was there and it was dark outside, We got the keycard from the directions in a text we received, but couldn’t find our room. We finally realized it was attached to the building and not a separate room, as we thought when we booked. It was fine to sleep but overpriced for what it is. Small room with a very small bathroom and we could hear the people in other rooms attached to ours.

Had a very nice evening at Bybee’s Steppingstone Inn. The owner/operator was super friendly, providing us all the essential information we needed. The room was clean and comfortable and the grounds made you feel right at home. It’s a stone’s throw from Bryce Canyon so it’s a great option for those who don’t want to stay in Bryce Canyon City.
