St. George's Hidden Gem: Abbey Inn's Unbelievable Amenities Await!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind of relaxation and pure, unadulterated… something… at Abbey Inn, St. George's Hidden Gem: Unbelievable Amenities Await! And honestly? I’m still unpacking not just my suitcase, but also… well, my feelings. This place is a… journey.
So, let's get the serious stuff out of the way first, yeah? Because… accessibility? Crucial. And Abbey Inn mostly gets it. Wheelchair accessible is a big ol’ YES. Elevator? Yep. Now, whether those ramps actually lead everywhere and the facilities for disabled guests are… perfect… I can’t 100% say. But the bones are there. Big points.
Now, let's talk internet! Lord knows I need that! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Praise be! And it actually worked. Not always, but mostly. My little laptop buddy and I were glued to it. They also had Internet [LAN] and Internet (services), which makes me think they're serious about keeping you connected. My old grandma would be so proud.
Okay, now into the fun zone! Things to do, ways to relax… Oh, buddy, where do I even begin?
Spa/Sauna? You betcha. I went full-on Viking in the sauna. That heat? Glorious. Then I tried… I very cautiously dipped a toe (literally) into the pool with view. Let me tell you, someone REALLY needs to clean the pool, so many spiders in the corners! I saw a body scrub, a body wrap, more massages than I could shake a stick at. Me? I did it all! I felt like a… well, a slightly less wrinkled version of myself after a week.
The fitness center, though… let's just say it's… functional. And again, it has a spectacular view. If you can stay motivated while staring at the most incredible scenery, you might actually enjoy your workout.
Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, this is where Abbey Inn REALLY earns its stripes. The Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Staff trained in safety protocol, and ALL of that? It’s comforting. They take it seriously. The Hand sanitizer was everywhere. Everywhere! They even offered room sanitization opt-out available, which, hey, options!
Now, the food… This is where my review turns… colorful.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: Oh my god, the options! Restaurants galore. We're talking Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was there. The coffee/tea in restaurant service was a godsend. The Poolside bar was a constant temptation.
I'd read a review about the A la carte in restaurant. Let's just say the vegetable soup was the best I've had in YEARS! The Snack bar saved me on more than one occasion.
And the room service? Oh, the 24-hour Room service! Let the record state that I’ve ordered a bottle of water, one too many times in the middle of the night.
Now, the rooms themselves…
Available in all rooms! Air conditioning. Alarm clock. Bathrobes. Free bottled water (a must). Coffee/tea maker. Hair dryer. I mean, the basic necessities of a pampered existence are covered.
But the feel! It was like stepping into a… well, a slightly quirky, but still luxurious dream. I had an Extra long bed. And a Seating area. I spent way too much time in both. The Sofa, perfect for lounging! And the desk? Well, it was great for pretending to work while secretly watching movies. And the Private bathroom, oh man, talk about bliss. But it was the blackout curtains, the Blackout curtains, that really stole the show. I was finally getting my beauty rest!
Services and conveniences… Okay, here's where Abbey Inn wins big. Concierge. Daily housekeeping. Dry cleaning. Luggage storage. You name it, they probably have it. The Family/child friendly vibe was strong, which was lovely to see, this hotel is a great choice for parents.
But the real star? The Doorman! Seriously, that guy was an absolute legend. Always a smile, always helpful. He made you feel like you were actually welcome.
Getting around: Airport transfer. Car park [free of charge]. Taxi service. Easy peasy. Getting to Abbey Inn is stress-free.
For the kids: Didn't travel with any, but this place had Babysitting service, which could come in handy.
Quirks and Imperfections: Okay, let's be real. There were some… eccentricities. Like the art on the walls. Some felt like they were pulled from a garage sale and the water pressure sometimes wavered. And the Wi-Fi… remember what I said – it works mostly. And once I found a bug on my bed! The horror!

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Cemara Hijau, Bandung's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your average, sterile travel itinerary. We're going to St. George, Utah, and we're doing it real. And by real, I mean with the potential for meltdowns, bad decisions, and a whole lotta glorious, messy humanity. We’re staying at the Best Western PLUS Abbey Inn. Don't expect perfection, prepare for adventure!
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Red Rock Anticipation (aka, Where Did I Park?)
- 1:00 PM (ish): Arrive at McCarran International Airport (LAS). Okay, the "ish" is crucial. Let's face it, I'm always late. My luggage will probably try to escape the carousel and I'll spend a solid 15 minutes trying to remember where I even parked the car. Oh, the joys of airport parking… it’s a game of hide and seek, except the seeker is stressed and the prize is your sanity.
- 2:00 PM: Road trip! The drive to St. George is beautiful, or so I've been told. I'll spend most of the time fiddling with the radio, muttering about the gas prices, and trying to navigate with a map that’s older than me.
- 5:00 PM (fingers crossed): Check-in at Best Western PLUS Abbey Inn. Pray to whatever deity you believe in that the room isn't on the top floor, because lugging those bags up three flights of stairs is my personal definition of hell. Hopefully the room is clean and the air conditioning works. Air conditioning in the desert is not optional, it's survival.
- 5:30 PM: Unpack, survey the landscape. I'll take a deep breath and admire the view from the hotel window. I hope!
- 6:30 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. I'm open to suggestions! I'm craving anything with red sauce and a cold beer.
- 7:30 PM: Stroll through the charming downtown area. Let’s find a tasty ice cream cone.
- 9:00 PM: Bedtime. I am not getting any younger!
Day 2: Hiking and the Existential Crisis on a Cliffside (aka, Why Am I Doing This Again?)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, actually wake up. Coffee is a must. The hotel's free breakfast, probably some stale pastries and questionable scrambled eggs, but free is free, right?
- 8:00 AM: Head to Snow Canyon State Park. Hike the Petrified Dunes Trail. Let's see how my cardio holds up. I should have started jogging more! I'll probably spend half the hike gasping for air, contemplating the meaning of life, and wondering if I actually saw a roadrunner. (It’s probably a lizard).
- 11:00 AM: Post-hike hydration and snack break. Water! And maybe a protein bar. I'll reward myself later with a ridiculously large ice cream.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Gotta refuel after conquering the trails.
- 1:00 PM: A little more exploring. I'm thinking maybe a visit to Pioneer Park to see the views.
- 4:00 PM: Pool time at the hotel! All that hiking deserves some relaxation!
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant with a patio!
- 8:00 PM: Relaxation. Maybe a little Netflix. I'm not getting younger here!
Day 3: Double Down on the Adventure! (aka, Let’s Nearly Die of Fun)
- 7:00 AM: Repeat morning routine. Coffee, coffee, coffee. Breakfast (again, hopefully edible).
- 8:00 AM: Okay, here’s where it gets good (or possibly disastrous). I'm planning a serious hike. I'm talking to The Narrows in the Zion National Park. Now, those who know Zion, know this is NOT for the faint of heart. This means wading through a river, potentially knee-deep (or higher!). I’m excited and terrified!
- 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM: The Narrows! The whole thing is gorgeous, and I feel the adrenaline pumping. It's incredible, the light, the water, the sheer audacity of nature! I will probably trip at least once. Maybe twice. It's worth every moment, the challenge, the beauty, the feeling of being tiny and insignificant in the face of something so vast.
- 12:00 PM: Mid-hike lunch: Trail mix, sandwiches, more water. Refueling is key.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the hotel. We are going to be tired, and my feet are probably going to feel like they've been tenderized with a meat mallet.
- 5:00 PM: Post-hike recovery. A nice long soak in the tub is definitely in order. Maybe a face mask. Maybe a nap.
- 7:00 PM: One last dinner in St. George!
- 8:00 PM: Pack up.
Day 4: Departure and the Bitter Sweet Goodbye (aka, Where Did the Time Go?)
- 8:00 AM: Early breakfast, final survey of the room, and a deep breath.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Sigh a big sigh. Already feeling the Post-Vacation Blues.
- 9:30 AM: Head back to Vegas, drive home soon.
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at LAS. Return car. Try not to cry about the end of vacation.
- 2:00 PM: Security! Hopefully I won't get pulled aside for extra scrutiny.
- 3:00 PM: Board the plane, reflect on my adventures, the ups and downs, the stumbles and triumphs.
- Maybe… 5:00 PM: Finally, home! I'm back from the trip.
This is just a suggestion. This is not a perfect plan, just an attempt at one. I’m sure to deviate, to get lost, to have moments of pure joy and utter frustration. But that's the point, isn't it? To embrace the imperfections, the mess, and to come back with stories (and maybe a few bruises) that will make me laugh for years to come.
See you out there! (Maybe.)

St. George's Hidden Gem: Abbey Inn's Unbelievable Amenities Await! (Or Do They…?) - A Messy FAQ
Okay, okay, Abbey Inn… What's *actually* so great about this place? Everyone raves!
Alright, deep breaths, let me gather my thoughts… Abbey Inn. The hype is real. Sort of. Look, the *pool*? Forget about it. Seriously, it's like a postcard come to life. Crystal clear, perfectly temperatured, and – get this – views of the red rocks that'll make you weep (in a good way, hopefully). Then there's the complimentary breakfast. Pancakes. Waffles. A veritable *feast* before you even hit the trails. I mean, I'm not a morning person, but even *I* stumbled out of bed for those fluffy delights. But, and this is a big BUT… the coffee? Let's just say it's…consistent. Not life-changing, but it gets the job done. You'll survive. You *will*. (Mostly.)
What about the rooms? Are they as luxurious as they claim? And, like, are they *clean*?
The rooms. Okay. So, "luxurious"? "Cozy" is maybe a better word. Think comfortable, well-appointed, and (most importantly) *clean*. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, and I can happily report that the housekeeping crew is on point. I spent roughly three hours dissecting the bathroom with my magnifying glass the first time, obviously. No lurking dust bunnies were found. That said, the decor is… let’s just call it "classic desert inn." Not offensively dated, but also not exactly cutting-edge design. One time, the hairdryer literally started smoking while I was trying to tame my hair. Thankfully, it didn’t burst into flames! Small victory. Seriously though, clean = gold. And the beds? Gloriously comfortable. Slept like, well, a baby in a crib made of clouds (if babies and clouds were into memory foam… they're not, are they? Never mind.).
The pool sounds amazing. Is it crowded? Because crowds… ugh.
The pool *is* amazing. It's a siren song, drawing you in with promises of relaxation and Instagram-worthy sunsets. Crowds? It varies. Weekends? Yeah, expect some company. Maybe even a rogue inflatable flamingo or two. I had to dodge a tiny toddler with his own personal splash zone AND several people attempting to hog the best lounge chairs one time… I’m not kidding; someone used a towel and sat in shadow for the whole day. It’s a struggle, but keep your cool. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the masses. Weekday afternoons are generally more peaceful. Or, if you're like me, embrace the chaos. People-watching can be surprisingly entertaining. Just bring earplugs, for those times someone starts a singalong of questionable karaoke skill.
What’s the deal with the free bike rentals? That sounds pretty sweet.
The bikes? Okay. Let’s talk bikes. Free bikes. Theoretically, this is AMAZING. A chance to explore the stunning desert scenery on two wheels! In practice… well, they're not exactly top-of-the-line. Think "slightly used, but functional." Also, get there early. The supply is limited. I'd recommend you bring your own bike helmet and gloves… trust me, I learned the hard way. The first time I used one, the seat wobbled, the brakes squealed like a banshee, and the chain threatened to jump off at any moment. But, hey, free is free. Just, ya know, inspect them *thoroughly* before you set off. And maybe pack a first-aid kit. (And good luck with those hills...)
Tell me about the location in regards to attractions...like, is it actually a good location?
Location, location, location! Abbey Inn scores MAJOR points here. It's close to EVERYTHING. Seriously. Zion National Park? A relatively easy drive. Restaurants? Plenty within a short distance. Hiking trails? Yep. Grocery stores? You betcha! In fact, walking to the grocery store is kinda my thing. Okay, more like, I forget something and need to sprint to the nearest store. Convenient is the perfect word here. You won't feel isolated, but you can also escape the crowds and retreat to your (mostly quiet) sanctuary. The views from the rooms also help a lot. You get that sense of adventure while still being close to civilized amenities. Amazing.
The staff… what are they like? Are they friendly? Helpful? Or do they secretly despise tourists?
The staff. This varies. I've encountered some genuinely lovely people, ready to offer tips, directions, and even a friendly chat. Then there are the ones who… well, let's just say they're efficient. Not rude, just... not overly enthusiastic. One time, I asked for extra towels. I swear the guy at the front desk looked like I'd asked for a unicorn. He did get me the towels, though. They're generally helpful enough, and they certainly know the area. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Just don't expect them to be your new best friends. Though, I did once have a genuinely lovely conversation with the breakfast lady. She told me about the best place to see the sunset. Total lifesaver.
Is there actually an "Abbey" nearby? Or is it just a clever name?
Okay, so, the "Abbey" part... that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Truthfully? I'm not totally sure. I've never seen an actual abbey, crumbling or otherwise. I've done some light Googling, no dice. Perhaps it's a reference to some historical landmark that's been long-forgotten. Maybe it's just a cool-sounding name that evokes a sense of serenity and history. Honestly, I'm leaning towards the latter. But hey, don't let that stop you. The lack of a real Abbey doesn't detract from Abbey Inn in any way. I mean, the red rocks are right there! That's the real draw, folks.
Overall... should I stay at Abbey Inn? Really, *honestly*?
Okay, here's the honest truth: YES. With a few caveats. If you're looking for absolute perfection, you might be disappointed. If you're a hardcore luxury snob, probably not your cup of tea. But if you're seeking a comfortable, clean, well-located base for exploring St. George and its surroundings, with a killer pool and complimentary breakfast, then ABSOLUTELY, YES. I've stayed there multiple times. I've had some minor hiccups, I'veWander Stay Spot
