Older historic property close to Canyon de Chelly with a restaurant and gift shop on site. They can also provide guided jeep tours of the canyon. Quiet location and nice grounds where it is nice to just hang out and relax.

Beautiful Canyon de Chelly

It is a great location for visiting Canyon de Chelly. The cafeteria needs updating- breakfast is nice but I would not recommend eating dinner there. The tours leave from the property and are wonderful.

Very Pleasant Stay!

Rooms were a little small, but otherwise excellent. Quiet, clean and everything worked. Rooms were very well lit. Cafeteria was very good. No need to go into Chinle to try and eat. Not much in Chinle to begin with. Canyon tour was interesting and fun. All round great experience.

Good location to explore Canyon de Chelly

Good base to explore Canyon de Chelly. Offers Navajo guided canyon tours. Staff all very friendly. Room was spacious with 2 queen beds and a good sized dining table. Tiny bathroom. In room cups/glasses all disposable. On site canteen serves basic meals to guests and locals - another option is eat-in/takeaway from Chinle. On Navajo land, so no alcohol and no daylight saving (so 1-hr ahead of southrn Arizona in Summer)

Property is great. The area is sketchy but that’s how it is in Canyon de Chelley. There are only three hotels in town. Room is dated but clean. Restaurant on the premises was really good. Staff is five stars.
