If you're in Chinle for Canyon de Chelly this is the ideal location and the best price. The tour led by Navajo leaves right out in front and there is on site dining. The room is updated, comfortable beds, plenty of towels. Thanks for a great visit.

Beautiful setting, the architecture was perfect for the area and the Room was very nice with rustic furniture. It had a refrigerator, microwave and a coffee pot, which is getting harder to find at the hotels.You park right by your room door so very easy to unload the car. Lots of landscaped areas for the dogs to investigate and plenty of area to take a nice walk.
