The staff was friendly and welcoming and the room was very clean. It’s an older establishment, but well maintained and clean. The location was perfect for our plans and the view was great! The restaurant there was great, too. Good, hot food and very enjoyable staff. Even though it’s close to the highway it was very quiet at night.

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.

Nice location, Pleasant visit.

Very quaint setting along the river. The owner was incredibly nice. Not a city luxury hotel, but just right for a western visit. Monument Valley is less than half an hour away. You’ll arrive to the Valley via Forrest Gump hill. Word of advice- the hotels right in Monument Valley cost twice as much and didn’t seem to offer much more.

on the internet it said only one room had a refrigerator and it was on the second floor and after we had talked to people there was one in each room. The parking lot is small and not well lit. The stairs going to our room was steep and not well lit as was the hallway. Also, we were not informed that the hallway had stairs. When we asked the front about the cafe and what time it closed, they told us 8 pm. We found out that is was open until 8:30.

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.

We only checked in late in the evening so we didn't have much use of the property. It overlooks the river which would have been a nice relaxing place to hang out.
