Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms are secluded, which I loved as it provided a peaceful experience, and the view from the cabin suite was stunning. However, the room decor felt a bit outdated and could use some refreshing to match the area better.
The hotel room was super nice and cost us just under $200 for one night. However, there was nowhere to put our suitcases without blocking the door, air con, balcony, or bed as there is no suitcase stand. The service throughout was mixed, as they arrived promptly when we requested items but were not generally welcoming or helpful. The location is fantastic with a great view from the terrace, close to Monument Valley. Dining was most delicious in the restaurant, but not all aspects were perfect. The facilities were decent.
I stayed in the lodge, and the view was spectacular, especially at dawn. The rooms were lovely, well-furnished, recently decorated, and equipped, creating a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome; however, there were some hit and miss encounters with service. The location is perfect in the middle of Monument Valley, offering an excellent overlook just across the road from Monument Valley drive. The dining experience was excellent, with a beautiful view. The facilities were great, providing everything needed for a pleasant stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room, though a bit old, was very modern and well-heated upon arrival, offering great views from the balcony. However, the service, while friendly, fell short in some aspects. The location was ideal for exploring Monument Valley, but the dining experience left something to be desired.
I was thrilled with the location of the hotel, nestled right under a bluff overlooking Monument Valley. The rooms all boasted amazing balconies where you could enjoy the breathtaking views without being disturbed by neighbors. Although the room temperature control was a bit tricky, the hot air blowing onto the balcony made it less ideal for family gatherings seeking a cooler space.

The hotel offers a partial view of the Valley, with rooms that feel dated and not very clean. The service is generally attentive, but there were issues with timing and room access. The location, while stunning, requires climbing many stairs and is further from the monument than expected. Dining options are good but a bit isolated, despite the high cost of stay.

Despite its location in the desert with challenging red sand, the hotel provided a quiet environment for a good night's sleep. The room was clean and nice, but there were issues with dirt and flies due to cats in the area.
The hotel had mixed aspects, with very old and creepy rooms far from the main building, but the cleanliness and modernity were impressive, offering views of the iconic stacks from a little patio. The property is dated and in need of renovation.
I wanted to share my experience at the hotel. The location was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views of Monument Valley right from my room. The staff was incredibly friendly and even went out of their way to accommodate us by keeping the restaurant open late. However, there were a few minor hiccups like being woken up early by a staff member entering the room without prior notice. Overall, a memorable stay with its ups and downs.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic with a great view, but they were a bit smallish and dark. The service was exceptional, with staff being very helpful and knowledgeable. The location was out of this world, among the boulders with beautiful views of Monument Valley. The dining experience was very good, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers stunning views and a clean, nice, and quiet environment, but the balcony area receives hot air, making it uncomfortable for sitting as a family while keeping the room cool.
