“Only one hotel choice here but surprisingly nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

It was our 1st time at Lake Powell so we decided to stay at Defiance House Lodge because we didn't know what to expect for tent camping. It was late Sept so not too crowded or expensive. Rooms were nice although our slider didn't lock and our room keys had to be reprogrammed the second day. I noticed others had the same problem but the front desk sent someone immediately. The restaurant is very good and we never had to wait too long. We watched the sunset while we dined and had our coffee in the rockers out on their deck in the morning. We rented a boat slip at the Marina to store our boat overnight and although they did have a courtesy shuttle from the marina to the hotel it would be nice if they built a boat dock at the hotel for guest only overnight slip rentals. Lake Powell is AWESOME! There's jaw dropping scenery around every corner and up every canyon. We will def go back but I think we've spoiled ourselves by staying in the lodge our 1st visit! :)

“Stay here every year!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Defiance Lodge is a great alternative to camping at Bullfrog. They have a very good restaurant and bar, clean comfortable rooms, excellent views and convenient parking. I stay here every year, love it and will continue to come back. I would suggest staying overnight just prior to getting on a houseboat or if you just have Jet Ski's it's a great place to stay for a week.

Room Tip: 2nd floor has better view and less noise. After Labor Day is a great week with slightly cooler tempe...

“Pretty nice hotel and restaurant for being the only one around.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

Considering this is the only hotel and restaurant at Bullfrog Marina, I would have to say it was actually pretty nice. We were thinking the restaurant would just be so-so, but it was very good. The hotel rooms were clean and neat and the view was spectacular......just wish the houseboat we rented would have been as good as the hotel!

“Only option at Bullfrog”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

This hotel is way overpriced for what you get, ($160 with taxes for 2 Queens) but I guess since it has no competition they can charge what they want. The next hotel option is an hour away in Hanksville. We were camping, and were forced to the hotel when a wind storm on the beach destroyed our tent. We were glad for the hotel nearby otherwise would have had to cut our trip short. It was clean and adequate although the staff were not especially friendly. They allow pets, which would be a bonus if we'd been traveling with our dog, and have a fridge and microwave, too. There is no continental breakfast, but there is a restaurant on site which we didn't try. The hotel has nice views of the red rocks and the lake from a covered patio and is just a few minutes from the boat launch to get on the water in the morning.
