Our room was extremely clean and spacious. We loved having the sink outside of the bathroom. The view was outstanding. The service was great. It was nice to have a restaurant at the hotel since we didn't see any other place to eat in town. If you need a place in the area this is a good choice.

Had a comfortable stay for 2 nights- room was spacious and was quiet. Had a bit of trouble finding our room- there’s a strange numbering system where it goes from 12 to 41, for example. A map would be great. Right by the river, so very pleasant. Cafe staff were very friendly and helpful.

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.
