The setting is what makes Gouldings Lodge such a special place to stay. Waking up to and watching the sun set over Monument Valley is a totally unforgettable experience. The on site restaurant, gift shop,museum and organised trips all contribute to making this a place where you can park up the car for at least two nights and just enjoy... More

This is THE place to stay if visiting Monument Valley, very close to the entrance and a quite nice lodge in the middle of nowhere. It was very clean and the balcony had a great view of some of the Monument Valley features. The Lodge has a good restaurant with quite large portions. We bought restaurant food "to go" and... More

This is a late review for our visit last June 2011. We booked into Monument Valley House. This house was 1/2 a mile away from the main lodge sitting besides two other duplexes trailers. The walking distance is far so a car would be necessary to get to the main lodge. Monument Valley is a clean, modern 2 story house... More

It can be very hard to get a reservation here during the summer, but we were lucky and managed to get one mid-week and had to plan our travels to other destinations around that reservation. To be honest, our first choice would have been the resort that is right inside Monument Valley, but after trying for months to get a... More

This hotel is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly. It is in a good location to see the sites, with some beautiful views from the room balconies. The rooms are clean, decent size and reminded me of the motels of my childhood travels. The restaurant was very good and had great service for... More

Gouldings is just outside Monument Valley. Its in a very rural area but is a nice place to stay. The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. The view off your balcony is one you'll love. I kept the drapes open so I could wake up to the sun rising over the monuments each morning. The staff there was... More

OK, it may not have the view of "The View," but the heritage and friendliness of the staff makes this still our number one choice in Monument Valley. Goulding's is where it all began. You can almost feel the power of John Wayne and John Ford. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are just fine, comfortable, clean reasonably... More

We have stayed here at least 3 times before but as our kids get older the rooms get smaller. This trip we used the wireless internet but it was too slow to get work done and the cell signal wasnt strong enough to run the internet. More

I have just come across some photos of this hotel from our stay last year. A review might now be a bit dated but I always find the traveller photos very useful, so I thought I would go ahead and post these anyway. When planning our trip I was unable to secure the hotel rooms for our stay, so instead... More

Yeah, there's a new game in town now that The View hotel is open in the Monument Valley Tribal Park, and you can't beat that place for inside the Valley views. However, there is nothing like the long view from Goulding's that gives you a unique perspective of the most stunning of the monuments, including Brighams Tomb, Sitting Hen, Bear... More
