Paid an extra $11 for a balcony room and was put on the ground floor. When I questioned it. They said it was probably booked through a third party and they couldn't do anything about it.

We had an upstairs unit and the stairs were not in great shape. It was hard to find how to get to the unit. The unit was clean. Used the coffee pot but it leaked. It was great there was a small refrigerator.

My reservation was for the one remaining room and I had a message from the manager/owner that there was a problem but we were on the road and by the time I saw the message we did not have service. But the manager/owner honored the reservation and greeted us warmly. Great place, cannot wait to go back next year!

There are not a lot of options in Mexican Hat so this was our only choice. I think it's pricy for what it offers but you pay for the location close to Monument Valley. The food at the diner was good. The room was clean although it showed its age. Best thing was the view onto the river in the evening.

This was a good and interesting stay. The location was very nice and picturesque. We couldn’t find anybody to check us in for about 10 minutes, the lobby was deserted. The floor plan was a little odd, with the bathroom having no sink and the only sink being located behind the bedroom door. You also had to pass through bedroom 2 to even reach the bathroom. Being located right on the river was great and we made use of the beautiful proximity to the river. All the workers we interacted with were very nice. The parking lot is awkward and has tight squeezes and tight parking.

Beautiful property, very accommodating staff, the shower was excellent. The room(s) were comfortable but some updating is needed. An excellent gift shop and friendly personnel all around BUT the food at the restaurant was so bland it was awful. We tried everything (I even tossed in some Tabasco) but nada. Plan where to eat in advance.
