Aiken's Lodge sits at 79 W Center in the heart of Kanab's historic downtown, within walking distance of the town's restaurants, shops, and galleries. It is a family-owned motel of the kind that the canyon corridor between Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon North Rim used to have in abundance and increasingly does not: clean rooms, honest rates, continental breakfast from 7 to 10 AM, a seasonal pool, and a proprietor who knows the area.
The rooms come in single queen, two-double, two-bedroom family, and three-bedroom configurations, plus a separate three-bedroom vacation rental house that sleeps six. For families driving the Five National Parks loop and looking for something that is not a chain property at a chain price, Aiken's is the practical answer in Kanab — a town that sits at the geographic center of some of the most heavily visited federal land in the country.
The lodge's address puts guests on Center Street, which is Kanab's walkable main drag: Canyons Lodge, the Parry Lodge, the shops along Center, the cafes and galleries that have made Kanab a modest destination in its own right rather than just a motel row between parks. Aiken's is the affordable family-owned room in that corridor.
