The rooms are decorated with photographs and antiques from the Brigham Young era. Food service is abundant and delicious, featuring standard American fare and homestyle rolls, pies, and desserts made fresh every day. On the lower level, the Pantry restaurant serves drop-in diners with famous Lion House hospitality.
