Top 10 Green Iguana Hotels

We stayed here while passing through to go home. We will definitely return when going to St. George again. We loved that they had the option of both pools and the kids loved the playground! Our room was large and spacious and fit our family of 6 perfectly. The only complaint I have is that there isn't a latch lock on the top of the door, so my 2 year old kept trying to leave.

I truly don’t like to give businesses negative reviews, unless they really deserve it…well, the Red Lion in St. George deserves it. I drove in from Riverside, CA on my way to Colorado for business, and I had my dog with me. I booked the room through hotels.com, and while other hotels had explicit pet fees listed right up front, the Red Lion’s listing did not, so I assumed I would be paying the standard rate for a room at a pet friendly hotel (which was about $70 for a night, pretty average and reasonable). Upon arriving after a 5-hour drive and getting in around 3:00 am, I was informed by the night clerk (who took almost a 1/2 hour to check me in because of “computer issues”) that there would be an additional non-refundable $100 pet fee, and of course $12 in taxes just for the pet fee. I asked her why this wasn’t clearly stated on the listing on hotels.com, and her response was “take it up with them.” Once I got to the room, I did find this policy buried under the “Policies” section of the Red Lion listing, so there wasn’t anything I could do about it. Upon finally getting my door key and finding my room, I walked into an unsecured door to find my hallway, which had disgusting carpet and was littered with chip crumbs. I needed to fill my cooler with ice, so I took it downstairs to the ice machine. Once I had my cooler filled with ice and now heavy, I realized that the hotel had no elevator, so I had to find a hand dolly and pull my cooler up a flight of stairs, step by step. My actual room had large stains on the linens and a very musty smell, on top of being just very outdated. The front desk gave me a late check out of 12:00, so I was there for 9 hours and spent almost $200 on the hotel stay. I wouldn’t have minded the dinginess of the accommodations so much if the room had been more reasonably priced. But for $185 per night, I expect A LOT more from a hotel than what the Red Lion offered. The hotel does have a pool and basketball courts and a pool table and a lot of other things that I didn’t use, and I imagine it’s probably more aimed at families or traveling sports teams or whatever. So, maybe if that’s you, you’ll have a better experience at the Red Lion than I did. But if you’re just needing a place to crash with your dog for the night while driving through Utah, find somewhere else. I stayed at a pet-friendly hotel last summer in Richfield for about $80-per-night, and that is where I will be staying again the next time I drive I-15 through Utah…NOT at the St. George Red Lion.

The scenery is very good, better than the picture, but the front desk is an old sister, the service attitude is very poor, and very rude.

Good basic hotel. My phone charger disappeared after cleaning though. And pool towels are more like small.gym towels, not big enough to wrap around am adult waist. Over all good hotel for quick stays
