I liked the peace and quiet, scenic location, architecture, and convenient cafeteria. However, I didn't like the cleaning lady knocking on my door at 9 am, and waking me up, to see if I would be extending my stay.

The room, the amenities, the area and the cafeteria are all excellent. The only problem was the reception clerk who checked us in. She was sullen, curt, and did not seem happy to see us at all.

Friendliest employees!
We chose this property for its proximity to Canyon de Chelly, and were pleasantly surprised by it. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the grounds were spacious and well kept. We ate 2 meals at the onsite cafeteria, and loved that they offered local dishes like Navajo tacos, fry bread, and blue corn pancakes. The portions were really big, so we could've shared instead of getting our own. Above all else, their staff was amazing! From the front desk to the cafeteria staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. We even met one of the cooks at breakfast when she delivered our food, and she was just as friendly as the rest. We were very pleased with our stay here.
