Don, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location.

Pet friendly. The room was clean but some service items were missing (extra toilet paper). Very close to the park and great fry bread. They were doing some service work and that is not their fault. Great pet walking area.

Andy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient motel for the park

For the price, it was an excellent stay but it is a motel and the bathroom needed some TLC. The toilet tank had a cover that didn't fit and the shower head and pipe were loose and wobbly. The cafeteria on the grounds is convenient but people we asked said they didn't recommend it, so we didn't try it. The town has a Denny's and we ate there.

Very Convenient

Could use some better pillows. Property is very nice and well-kept. The issue was with the cafe, which was supposedly open for carry-out only. There are very limited dining options in Chinle, and when we went to the cafe, it was closed due to some maintenance issue.
Candice, 1-night trip
