I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient. Overall, it was a good experience and I would consider staying here again.
The staff was very nice, check in was easy. Location is beautiful (in a red cliff with the San Juan river below.). Appreciated the ice machine and the cafe, where we had dinner. Easy parking, nice gift shop, liked all the seating provided outside to enjoy the river.
Loved the balcony and watching the sun set. Only drawback was there was no deadbolt on the door

We rolled in late and rolled out early so we weren't there long but it was convenient and comfortable. Enjoyed walking out to a river view in the morning. Excellent location for a trip to Monument Valley.
Surprisingly nice stay for the lower price. We stayed here rather than paying about $400 a night to stay next to Monument Valley. Nice room, great view, fun Cafe.
Lovely little place, right by the river. Entire staff were wonderful. Restaurant was good, the fry bread was yummy

Overall I liked this Inn. It is right on the San Juan river which was very relaxing. There were plenty of chairs and benches situated in the shade allowing a relaxing stay. The one down side was the AC unit made a lot of noise. Like they left out a bolt or two. So if not a hot month you should be ok. Restaurant next door was very convenient. Food was ok but not great.
I absolutely loved my stay here and would definitely stay here again. The room is nice, but what I love is the feel. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the place is set up for enjoying the beautiful view, relaxation or socializing. And goats!
The location is pretty convenient to Monument Valley. There’s a sign saying “BEER” but then they tell you it’s available at the 7-11 up the hill. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but very dated. Definitely a Roadhouse Rules or Thelma & Louise vibe. The ice machine downstairs was empty and I had to search for the upstairs machine. Food at the restaurant was pretty good.
Ac room said changed filter, last time I stayed it said same thing in another room. (This form is telling us we have to write something)
Staff is great!
Had no issues
Parking was convenient. Staff were cordial - some friendly. The room was clean but very basic. This is an old property so don’t expect much! Owners provide minimal upkeep. Pretty rundown in areas. There is a restaurant next door but be wary what you order. The food is not the best. Otherwise the property is situated a few miles from the national Mon which was nice.

No doubt they have the best, top-notch, super nice staff! Although we stayed for just one night, we loved our stay. My only recommendation for management is that I think some things need to be updated, like the showerheads, bedding, and pillows. Not a complaint, just a suggestion! The rooms were very spacious and we loved the location nice view and very quiet—only 12 miles from the Forrest Gump movie spot and Monument Valley. I will book again for sure.
