Close to the national monument

We stayed here thinking it was going to be amazing from the reviews. It was a little different than expected. Everything was fine it was just very average. But there really is not a lot of places to stay in this area. Think motel 6 for the rooms. Very basic and small but they were clean and had all the necessities. Nothing stays open late for food so make sure you plan for that if you are coming I later at night. Breakfast is basic. Kind of like a cafeteria situation. But it was edible. The grounds are very pretty and peaceful and you can sit outside your room in chairs that are there and relax And look at the stars.

Very Convenient

Could use some better pillows. Property is very nice and well-kept. The issue was with the cafe, which was supposedly open for carry-out only. There are very limited dining options in Chinle, and when we went to the cafe, it was closed due to some maintenance issue.

It was an older facility at the Canyon de chelly park. It was clean, the staff were friendly and very helpful, but it was a little rundown. The cafeteria was having water problems, but the food was delicious. And, of course, the canyon was beautiful.
