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.
