Arianna, United States of America

nice friendly staff with nice rooms and great home cooked food at the café.

Quantum, United States of America

This was a great place to spend a night in Chinle. Location is perfect. The staffs were very friendly and informative. The rooms we were assigned were more like cottages and it was wonderful.

Ab, United States of America

The room was very cozy and quaint. And most important, it was WARM, because it ranged from 0-15 degrees when we were there.

Pamela, United States of America

Clean room, cozy and warm even in 5F, comfortable beds and pillows. The bathroom was really small but it didn't bother us. Nice toiletries, they even had a shoe shine polish! Having a fridge in the room was very convenient, just be prepared that it is a bit noisy when it turns on. Nice ambience through the whole property, cute front desk, free parking right in front of your room. Would definitely stay again!

Eva, Slovakia

This is an OK place to spend a night while visiting Canyon de Chelly, it's very close to the canyon and unlike some of the other accommodation in town, it is not on the busy road. There is a nice trading post and staff were nice. Despite being here on Christmas eve we were pleasantly surprised that they kept their restaurant open.

Noga, United States of America

Motel is a little older, but very clean. Great value for the price. We were here in winter, so didn’t fully explore the grounds.

Tia, United States of America

The room is really nice and comfortable, especially the pillows. Bathroom is amazing!

Erma, United States of America

Chinle is not a beautiful town, and the location of this motel cannot be beat -- out of town and immediately adjacent to the Canyon de Chelly entrance, with mature cottonwoods (in full yellow color when we were there at the end of October) lining the drive in. Staff were uniformly friendly, helpful and kind. The trading post was actually quite good and had some amazing items -- sculptures, jewelry, etc. It was great to have it so accessible (long hours too, allowing for plenty of sight seeing and still able to shop before and after), and we found the prices to be better than at other locations near the national parks. The fry bread was absolutely the best we have had, and the food at the lodge (although not particularly deep in seasoning) was clearly fresh, home made and generous in portion. Nice toiletries too!

Lisa, United States of America

The Keurig coffee maker was a nice touch. The staff is very warm and welcoming.

Refurbished rooms comfortable and well appointed. Loved the cafeteria on sight had blue cornmeal pancakes and they were light and fluffy.

The cafeteria that's right next to the lodge was convenient since we arrived tired and did not feel like going out in search of food. But the quality of the food did not match it's price so if you want to eat better food for less money, go somewhere else.

This place a tad run down, but it is definitely clean and good for an overnight stay while visiting. This is close to some stables so there was a bit of a smell to the area.

Excellent lodge, great value, inside the park, cozy. Plus I liked that we were supporting a local biz instead of a large chain. Great cafe-- very old school throwback-- with excellent blue corn pancakes. Would definitely stay again.
