Errr Ma Gerrr! I love this place!…read more I recently stayed here as part of a car rally and I was immediately enchanted by the whole property. Living in a major city, you get used to the Cement Jungle, but when you stay at the Hat Rock Inn, it's a whole other world. First, there's the San Juan River right outside our door. It took me about an hour to realize the river was RIGHT THERE! I kept hearing donkeys braying, and locating them is how I found the river. In the morning, there were a bunch of cows! Now if you know me and have read my reviews, I'm all about the hot tub. This property was booked ahead of time by the car rally, so I was thankful that they had a working whirlpool. They have a beautiful outdoor pool/hot tub. You can see out to the stars. My husband and I spent a lot of time pruning our skin and debating whether we were looking at the Big or Little Dipper. It was heavenly. The staff are very nice and told us a little bit about the Hogan (Navajo Mud Huts). There was also a situation where the sink and toilet plugged up. I'm guessing they run on pumps because after I called the Front Desk to report the overflow, about 15 minutes later the water drained itself and all was good. The rooms were very comfortable and there is a small fridge included. Parking is right in front of your door. This place is great for active people. I would not recommend it for people that don't walk too much. The ground is dirt and rock around the area and you have to step up a 2 ft cement walkway to get into your room. If you have a wheelchair, I would mention that in your reservation so you get the room closest to the ramp. I would recommend Hat Rock Inn and look forward to planning a trip around staying here in the future.

Perched in a relatively remote location, the Hat Rock Inn offers a nice vantage along the San Juan…read moreRiver, with views of the bluffs from the lovely pool and patio areas. The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough, but service overall is a bit lacking. The front desk is not open until after 2 p.m., and the staff members are not particularly well informed, given that this is a town with almost no general service or supply options (e.g., the hotel itself offers no dining or coffee, and the person at the desk pointed us to a pizza restaurant that has been closed for months). The housekeeping staff left something to be desired as well. Service is upon request, but that means tracking someone down and ensuring a one-for-one trade of dirty and clean. Understandable, but when I ask for one clean washcloth and am instead handed two or three by a given staff member, I don't expect to be chided by another staff member standing with us in the supply room. What it lacked in hospitality and service, it did make up for in scenery.

This place has like 5 different names. LOL. Red flag. The hotel here is funky and old, which is…read morefine with me, but don't stay here if you expect some kind of high-end place. It's Mexican Hat, after all! :) We rented a suite (#14) - no dishtowels or paper towels, dishes still in the dishwasher, vinegar and cleaning stuff out on the counter. Not a big deal, but you get the sense that someone forgot they were cleaning the unit. The food in the restaurant was good (we just had breakfast one morning), but the one staff person there seemed super unhappy to be there and service was slow. Maybe they were the only person working there. If you, like we do, enjoy having an adult beverage after a long drive and exploring: bring your own. Even though the website says they have a liquor license, they do not sell any alcohol. There's a 7-11 half a mile away that sells beer and "spiked" low-alc drinks.

I found this through the national Parks site, had to rank several choices and wait to hear back, so I didn't remember which one we chose or anything about it. After driving three hours through barren desert, Goulding's Lodge was like an oasis! The setting is absolutely stunning. It was other worldly and familiar at the same time, because the old westerns were filmed here! The staff was friendly and peppy. The cabin was clean, relatively new, and complete with a kitchen. The restaurant was quaint and vintage. The best part was the bonfire that the staff built for us! Sitting around stargazing was so memorable with our kids. We were all sad that it was a quick stop, but said we would love to come back to stay longer! If you're used to four or five star places, maybe you won't be impressed. But in context for the area it was pretty great! Also has laundry, on site grocery and gas. We went home and watched John Wayne in Stagecoach, and vowed we would go back!

I'm giving this hotel a 4 because of the views, the museum on site and the grated pool hours…read more The hotel room needs a need some TLC. The pillows were lumpy. The bathroom didn't have a fan. The walls were thin and you can hear people walking upstairs. Our upstairs neighbors didn't stop walking until after midnight. Worst night at a hotel. The patio is nice with great views. I wish this facility had a complimentary coffee and hot water like other hotels. I would have given them a 5 even after my terrible night.

Our room was perfect with a balcony we enjoyed in the evening. There's a bell room with a washer and dryer, even a couch while you wait and AC. The check in service was great. In the morning on our way to breakfast we were asked about our stay. There's a breakfast buffet which was included with room. I'm so glad bc there's not a lot around town and everything closes pretty early too. There's also a gift shop act the front desk. The pool and hot tub are amazing indoors with large windows displaying the beautiful red rock and great outdoors. There's a pretty stone shower and restroom La are available le there too. In the same building is the gym and a beautiful sitting area with a fireplace and even a dining table. It's all around gorgeous.

First time at the Hampton Inn in Kayenta. Rooms are in high demand given the scenic location near…read moreMonument Valley and the availability of lodging. With that being said, accommodations are priced accordingly. Location has restaurants and fast food nearby. Kayenta Flea Market is nearby if traveling through on a Wednesday. When you check into the Hotel they advise you to not keep valuables in your vehicle or on the top of the vehicle due to theft. That becomes an "oh shit moment" but a prudent warning nonetheless. They have 24/7 security guards but I did not see security cameras outside. Had a room with King-sized bed and all the usual amenities. I was there for 2 nights and pleasantly surprised the room was cleaned after the first day. The lobby has lots of comfortable seating near a large fireplace. Enjoyed the breakfast as I usually prefer to go elsewhere. Nice patio and I did not try the restaurant that serves dinner only. Service was excellent. Nice gift shop for tourists. Have stayed at other Hotels in the area and this one is the best. Book your stay well in advance and enjoy the scenery and culture of the area!

The view of both sunrise, sunset and the night sky over the monuments make $400/night well worth it.

I could eat at Goulding's for days and not grow tired! We ate at the view because it was there. The path to drive into Monument Valley is right here in the parking lot of the view. We were lucky to see the Monuments in the sun and snow. The gift shop is also very overpriced.

Our room was HUGE and super comfortable! Clean, nicely decorated and very roomy. LOVED the option to get 3 queen sized beds, and loved the attached patio that provided gorgeous red rock views and immediate access to one of the fire pits. I enjoyed a dinner from the onsite restaurant on the patio and also enjoyed some relaxing time at the fire pit once it was lit. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am, and they start to turn off the fire pits just prior to that. Also loved the ability to stream on the television from my phone with Chromecast. We also purchased some snacks at the store. I'm already planning to visit here again, hopefully for a longer stay!
