Great for our one night stay

This is an older hotel, but perfect for what we needed. Clean and comfortable with great views of the river. We ate at the restaurant and it was delicious.

This is not some cookie cutter holiday inn. It's a classic motel from an era of road side motels owed by families. It's a quaint place. It's clean and comfortable but if you're looking for hotel with up to-date amenities keep driving to Moab or Kayenta and book yourself a room at the Wyndham or Hampton Inn. If however you want a cool little local place to stay give it a try. The scenery is lovely, restaurant serves a nice breakfast and the folks are friendly.

One of the better options to stay if you are visiting the Monument Valley National Park. Nothing much to say about the rooms, they were clean and spacious. We didn’t have any concern with the room or the bathrooms. Rooms have nice view and seating area outside. The biggest advantage of staying here is the view and the location. It is location on the banks of the San Juan river and the property is a cute blob on the extremely beautiful scenic background. Beautifully managed patio seating areas by the river. Separate smoking area. Pathway to walk down the river. Sweet and cute cats around. Coffee and microwave oven is available in the common area adjacent to the San Juan cafe. Staff were very friendly, informative and well behaved. Even when we were checking out, I left my AirPod in the room, they immediately notified me and made sure I get it before I completely move out.

This was a very unique hotel. There was some construction going on, but not while we were there. The staff was really nice. We were surprised that our 2 queen beds had a wall between them.
