I loved this place and stayed an extra day. A vintage-feeling motor hotel. The rooms are clean and comfy. Staff was lovely. The restaurant is cafeteria-style with excellent comfort food and Navajo specials. I did the North and South canyon rim drives, which were breathtaking. The ultimate “can’t miss” was the guided tour of the canyon with Terrill Spencer. This was the all day tour and it was wonderful, with Mr. Spencer sharing history and knowledge and wonder with us. I will come back and do it all again. Thank you to everyone!

Nice hotel at the entrance to Canyon de Chelly. Clean with comfortable beds for a reasonable price. Single story hotel which was nice for people with limited mobility. Breakfast was not included but there was a cafeteria on the premises open for breakfast and dinner. Would stay there again.
