I was only here long enough to sleep, but it seemed like a very cozy room with a comfy bed. I had a conversation with my 'neighbor' out on the balcony, packed in, and out, and there was no hassle.

Good location to access parks and sightseeing. Hotel was peaceful, nice view overlooking the river, enjoyed my stay. The town itself is very small, the restaurant at the hotel was good and there was an excellent stake house restaurant (very rustic) in the town. I enjoyed it it. I would stay here again.

This is an absolutely beautiful location and great place to stay for Monument Valley. We wish that the property store/food was open much later so late arrival guests can enjoy it too. Our room was good, staff was pleasant, the outdoor seating is great, and we loved the view and location. We were glad we chose this hotel for our overnight trip to see Monument Valley.

Nice location and beautiful view of the river. The only small issue we had was the AC in our room was so far away from the beds it took forever for the room to cool down.
