I really enjoyed my stay.. only suggestion is that my room was advertised incorrectly and I requested a different room. The room they gave me was still not what I had reserved as advertised but it was sufficient and the property is so nice I just rolled with it.

There are nice sitting areas around the property to sit and watch the beautiful red rocks and cliffs. I stay a couple times a year on my way from Colorado to Arizona, it centers me on the way!

Overall, our stay was good, great locations to access the local trails and sites. Was disappointed there was no microwave in the room, but the front desk said there was one we could use in the "hospitality section" in the restaurant. However, when we tried to use it, the guy working there kicked us out and said we must order something from the restaurant to even sit there. All we wanted to do is warm up some food, but was not having it. On the way out, we ran into some guys who just wanted to have a beer, but the same restaurant worker (manager) told them they couldn't order any drinks without ordering food. We ate at this restaurant our first night and it was pitifully inadequate to resemble qualify food. Would not recommend eating there, but with such limited options, they obviously don't seem to care if they do or don't take pride in their offerings. However, as far as the lodging goes, the beds were too soft if you have back issues. No housekeeping, towel service, or property amenities. Staff was pleasant enough, but nothing that would standout. Location is what you're getting here. Why they can't seem to find a way to put a $45 microwave in the the rooms is beyond any reasonable excuse for a modern lodging facility.

We had a group of motorcyclistand this place accomodated us in less tha. 48 hours. We loved how secluded the asphalt parking was a d right in front of our rooms. A beautiful sunset view, cold drinks and food on site. Very friendly staff! Hotel is very clean. A little aged, but we loved it.

It seems like very old property. Door said Autolock but it wont close well...people/guests were very loud, mostly Bikers, and smoking. No elevators, hard to bring a big suitcase especially traveling woth elders really hard. AC/Heater was NOT working, so as the fridge. Bed disnt have comforter, flat sheets and thin blanket, couldnt sleep. The one and only restaurant was very busy, there's no option to eat elsewhere, and waiting time was 45 min after we seated to get a glass of water..too shame, the location is AMAZING!!!

Close to Monument Valley. Very authentic. Location is a bit inconvenient as you exit the parking climbing up the steep slope and directly onto the roadway of a state highway.
