The room was very clean. The property quiet. The staff was polite and accommodating. The food in the cafeteria was basic and edible, but not great. This is a small town with minimal choices for eating well. The star of our experience was Canyon de Chelly itself—beautiful and meaningful.

On a business trip this was a nice comfortable place to lay my head. Luckily there's a cafeteria right next door because I'm not sure how far away restaurants are. The staff was super friendly

It was easy to check in. The rooms were nice, clean, staff was helpful. It was great to be at the edge of Canyon De Chelly, near the Visitor Center and the overview drives. Quiet premises, laundry, beautiful gift shop.
