Victorian Rose Country Inn

Great little "hotel" in Parowan! All the hotels in Brian Head were completely booked solid or very expensive for New Year's Eve, so our choices were to book a hotel in Parowan (19 miles away) or Cedar City (40 miles away). We chose to stay in Parowan for convenience. It came down to Days Inn or Victoria's, so we chose Victoria's since it was a similar price and seemed like a slightly bigger space. There is no website, so we knew we were in for a bit of a gamble. To call Victoria Rose Country Inn a "hotel" is generous - it seems like a house with a converted upstairs for guests. Things that were great: - Gail, the innkeeper, is great. She was so nice and so accommodating about our dog, checking in, and checking out. She was really nice and always answered the phone promptly. - Lots of space for what you pay for. Separate rooms each for the bedroom, bathroom, and living room. There is a small kitchenette with a kettle, blender, coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes and glasses, and a full sized fridge. This was important as there weren't many dining options available in Parowan, especially for New Year's Eve. - Great proximity to Brian Head. From the 15, Parowan is actually on the way to Brian Head itself, so it's super easy to check in at the inn and head straight to Brian Head for the day's activities. - The hot water is HOT. Given the apparent age of the building and how cold it was outside, I was expecting the water to not get hot at all, but it gets and stays plenty hot. Things that could be better: - The bed is super small. I am also super small, some would say "tiny," so it wasn't too much of a problem for us, but I could not at all imagine two "average-sized Americans" fitting on this bed. - The doors are super thin, so if people are talking in the hallway or going in/out of their room, it sounds like they are IN your room. Things that are neutral / FYI: - The TV is super old school - it has a VCR - so don't expect to bring your PS4 and plug it in to play. Read a book instead. I will definitely be coming back here for future trips to Brian Head! -this review is also cross-posted on Yelp-
