Quality Inn Panguitch near Bryce Canyon

Quality Inn Panguitch near Bryce Canyon

6/10 Okay
"Great view from the front of the building which is a bit worn and tired looking. But the room was clean and functional. Biggest turnoff was the breakfast. This was not due to the quality of food which was comparable with most offerings of other similar priced motels. The disappointment was due to the staff having their breakfast during the busiest time in the morning. Coffee ran out both days we were there and because of the poorly designed serving area it is difficult for more than two or three people at a time to access the food offerings. One day I had to wait almost fifteen minutes for the employees to make their waffles and toast before i could gain access. It doesn't seem too much to ask that the guests get sole access during the posted breakfast times. Perhaps a small thing, buy annoying nonetheless."
