Loved the atmosphere. Beautiful scenery. Being that it has the only restaurant close by, the menu was pretty limited. Food was ok, but they need more variety. Over all, We really enjoyed our stay

Amazing Views...worth the trip

I got horrifically lost finding the hotel because GPS' don't seem to work or at least they do but want to send you down unpaved roads. When I got to the ferry I was told it stopped at 2 pm but from what I understand it is totally unreliable so recommend arriving by road. As you are in a park there is a fee to enter at the Ranger Station. The views, the sunset and their restaurant were all wonderful

nice location

Bullfrog is our choice of marina and nice to have a hotel to stay at close by and have a place to park your boat and well lighted.

It serves its purpose

We've stayed in Defiance House several times. It's not a luxury hotel, but as long as you don't expect it to be, it suits just fine as a place to stay at the lake. No real complaints.

Expedia did not notify the hotel of my reservation. We arrived at midnight and our room (the last one) was promised to another traveler. Fortunately, we arrived first and I had a copy of my confirmation. Hotel was fine for a quick stop over before boarding our houseboat the next morning.

Close to the water

I thought this hotel was very close to the water which made it easy to launch our boat. The hotel was clean and staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was not as big as I expected. I had no problem getting anything we needed such as extra towels coffee. I had a broken shower hook and it was taken care of within minutes I had no can opener and went to the front desk to see if they had one and they took my can to the kitchen in the restaurant and opened it for me.

Great views and service

We stayed in a very modern room with great views of Lake Powell. I recommend asking for a room on the lake/north side of the building where you get the best views. The service was great.

Very enjoyable stay @ hotel, restaurant was good also.

The season was close to starting, and there weren't a lot of people yet, but all of the employees knew what they were doing, were friendly, and accomodating. The room was nice, quiet, cool, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place. The price was good also for the area. The view of the lake and marina was pleasant.

Defiance House

The hotel itself was great!!! Very comfortable and clean. The Reception staff were not too pleasant. They said we owed more than we had paid, and when I showed them the receipt, they said "third party vendor", then asked for a credit card for "possible supplementary expenditrures" and then charged the amount they claimed we owed to my credit card.
