After spending all day at the Grand Canyon the location of this hotel fitted our itinerary perfectly. It allowed us to watch the sunset at Desert View and be in our lodgings at a reasonable hour to enjoy dinner in their restaurant. We were travelling from the Grand Canyon to Monument Valley and this allowed us a comfortable hotel, that only required a relatively short drive the next day to reach our destination. The rooms were comfortable and it was a blessing to arrive to a nice warm room after being in the snow most of the day at the Grand Canyon.
The meals at the restaurant were, extremely cheap for what you got and after reading reviews about the Navajo Tacos we weren't disappointed,they were huge! The Fry bread with honey was also a hit! The gift shop was huge and was in some ways a bit like a museum as well (it is a pity that so many "Native" souvenirs were made in China). Coffee by the big open fire in the morning was a bonus as were the conversations with the friendly staff.
If you are planning to drive to Monument Valley from the Grand Canyon, I recommend this hotel as a convenient stop over, as it breaks the trip up nicely.
