Petty Ranch Inn offers a breakfast option that is predominantly grab-and-go. This breakfast often includes a pre-packed bag with basics like a microwaveable sandwich, yogurt and an apple. While some guests appreciated the convenience and found it an adequate start to the day, others were quite disappointed with the minimalist approach, labeling it as poor or not worth the inclusion. The idea of providing breakfast in a bag was met with mixed reactions, as it was seen as a practical yet underwhelming effort, especially by those expecting a more comprehensive breakfast spread. Issues such as late service timing and lack of variety further added to some of the dissatisfaction. Although the inclusion of breakfast was noted as a positive by some, the overall sentiment suggests a need for improvement in quality and presentation.

Visitors to the Petty Ranch Inn have expressed mixed experiences regarding the hotel's pool. Some guests found the pool refreshing and enjoyed the breathtaking views of Zion National Park from the pool area. The pool, although small, was deemed nice and served well for a quick cool-down with towels readily available. However, numerous reviews highlight significant issues with the pool's maintenance.

Despite being an older property showing some signs of wear and tear, guests appreciate the rooms, which often exceed expectations with amenities like full kitchens, living areas and even two bathrooms in some cases. Though the lodge lacks traditional three-star amenities such as a pool, spa or hot tub, which can be disappointing, visitors still find the facilities and breakfast to be satisfactory. Overall, while it might not entirely justify its relatively high price, Pioneer Lodge provides a distinct and classic lodging option in a convenient location near Zion National Park.
