Great staff, average accommodations.

Really nice, accommodating staff. Clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Plenty of outlets for charging, including USB ports. Quiet. Very convenient to Canyon de Chelly. Typical budget hotel rooms. Microwave and mini-fridge worked well. Room had a table and two chairs. Also a patio table and chairs outside the room. Shower left much to be desired in terms of water pressure. As is so often the case, housekeeping was not all it could be. We stayed two nights, but the room was not made up while we were there. We had to request toilet paper, coffee, coffee cups from the front desk. There was no bath soap, but fortunately, we'd brought our own. Saddest of all was the stray dog who seems to live on the property.

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.
