Property is right in the Canyon de Chelly, nice setting and quiet. The rooms were clean and basic but there was only 1/3 roll of toilet paper in both rooms I booked, thankfully there’s no surprises during our stay. Dining choices was very limited at the lodge cafeteria. Navajo burgers were good but CHILI was terrible, tasteless! only beans, no meats and very watery. Don’t know how can any restaurant screw it up like that. I asked the waitress, she said that was how they made it. I’m not impressed :( I don’t think I’d stay at this property again.

Hair in both beds, a lot in one, two hairs in the other. They brought us linen at 9:30 pm but no offer to remake the bed. After we stripped the bed we realized they brought one sheet. We made do and went to Denny's for breakfast the next day. The restaurant is cafeteria style. Tips are requested before you get food or service. Diner at the Thunder Bird was out worst meal on our trip with zero service once we sat down.

The town of Chinle is pretty strange, but the place is nearer the canyon and feels completely different. Staff is always friendly, rooms are clean, beds are comfortable—can’t beat it for the price. And Canyon de Chelly is amazing.
