Room #8 had a toilet that looked taped to the floor. The tub had a crack. The window curtain was falling off. The bathroom ceiling fan was encrusted with lint. It was just not a good place.

Close proximity to canyon de Chelly, Check in was easy. Has a rustic feel. Electricity went out at night and it was cold. Didn’t get any answers from the front desk which was supposed to be open 24/7.

Beautiful National Monument. It really is a hidden gem. The restaurant/cafeteria is another story. Our meals were not good at all. We were overcharged, the restaurant appeared dirty and unkempt and , food was not good and not what we expected and no one seemed to care even though it was brought to their attention. We along with several other patrons complained to no avail. We wound up at Denny's in Chinle. Accommodations were fine "historical" but cute and comfortable. I would away again for sure but skip the restaurant. Too bad as it would be a very cheap ncenient opetion.

The tub was very dirty, with hair all over it. Really glad we had flip flops with us... If it hadn't been for the tub, everything would have been great. The room was very nice, and everything else seemed clean.
