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 room was well kept though. Ac worked fine. They don't carry body wash dispensers in the shower, only shampoo and conditioner. The wall lining in the shower was cracked in some spots.

Thank you Monument Valley…read more We broke down just outside of Kayenta while traveling with our truck and trailer. After finally making it into town, the staff at Monument Valley Inn were incredibly accommodating during a very stressful situation. They graciously allowed us to park our truck and trailer in the front lot and even permitted the repairs to be completed right there in their parking area by Yazzie's Tire Shop. We stayed overnight, and everyone on the staff was kind, helpful, and understanding. A special thank you to Matilda for going above and beyond to help us through a difficult and unexpected situation. Your kindness was greatly appreciated. We also enjoyed the grill that is open in the evenings--the food was fantastic! Thank you to Matilda and the entire staff for making us feel comfortable and cared for during a stressful time. We truly appreciate your hospitality and highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the Kayenta/Monument Valley area.

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!

It's a small cabin, but nobody is coming here so much for that as it is all about the view and enjoying monument Valley. The only reason we are given this four stars instead of five is because the restaurant inside the hotel proportion of the property is really bad. There is absolutely almost nothing around this place, so very important that you bring your own food for when you do stay here as you will be very unhappy with the restaurant on site. Other than that, we do strongly recommend this place.

Absolutely in love with our double queen balcony view room!…read more After seeing The View Hotel pop up on my Instagram reels a few months ago, I knew this is exactly where we needed to book during our motorcycle trip. I booked by calling the property directly. You will pay a $10/ vehicle charge to enter Tribal Land at the toll booth a quarter mile from the hotel parking lot. Make sure you keep this receipt if you plan on leaving the parking lot AND the one you'll get from the hotel front desk while checking in! We knew there were no laundry facilities on site, so plan accordingly. I brought over some soap bars from the hotel we stayed at before arriving to The View & washed what I needed to in the bathroom sink. Let my items hang dry at the balcony chairs less than 2 hours- dry as can be. The water pressure in the shower/ bath tub is amazing and there are shampoo, conditioner, & shower gel dispensers available. The scent reminds me of what greets you in the main lobby. I truly wish these toiletry items were sold in the gift shop, because they smell that good! In our room, there's a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker & personal safe for your belongings. Don't forget to claim your bottles of water at The View Restaurant! And redeem your gift certificate to shop at the Trading Post. Which offers a huge selection of Native jewelry, shirts, hats, and other goods. Although it says Complimentary Continental Breakfast available, on your check in papers- there are additional breakfast options besides sliced bread, bagels, & muffins. Assorted dry cereals whole milk & 2% milk. Crispy potatoes, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pork sausage. Fruit cups, fresh apples, yogurt cups. A deli is available from 10am- 5pm, since The View Restaurant is closed for lunch. But, open for dinner (closes at 10 pm). Be mindful of the last seating time, I think is 9:30pm- since table service is provided. Staff has been friendly and helpful. There are no hot tubs & pools, for extra activities at the property. But, I think an exercise room is available. There are tour companies here at the hotel parking lot AND other tour outfits at the traffic circle - Navajo Welcome Center. We stopped at Basha's Dine' in Kayenta before checking into our hotel. That way we could have our snacks, bottled waters, and fresh fruit of choice before arriving.

Ilene is a very nice, accommodating, hospitable woman who opens her home to guests from all over the world looking to explore and experience the "West." (She's well reviewed on Google!) Having said that, your experience here is more like a stay at your Auntie's house, not a 5 star hotel with a butler service! Here's what to expect: clean house with access to kitchen; mini-fridge to store your perishables; basic, comfortable rooms; clean bathroom with towel included; good WiFi (I didn't have phone service while I was there); soft, red sand to bury your tired toes in; lots of sitting areas in front of the house to watch a beautiful sunset against the iconic Monument Valley red rocks; 30min short hike out back to Tear Drop Arch; amazing night sky; friendly, curious cat named Kyle to pet at your pleasure; grill available for your use; Navajo fry bread breakfast can be arranged. Anything else you need, just ask! Ilene is a very nice, local, Native business owner. If you are looking for a room, call Ilene between 9am-6pm Mountain Standard Time (US) to book one of the comfortable, basic rooms in the main house or the cute little cabin next door with it's own AC unit (a popular option apparently). If you are budget conscious, you can pitch a tent or car-camp in her yard for cheap. Walk-ins are welcome, but call ahead of time just to make sure there is a room available or space for you in her yard AND she knows when to expect you. Once you book, consider these BEFORE heading there for a more pleasant arrival and stay! 1) FOLLOW THE RED LINE TO THE YELLOW X on the map (see picture)! Lots of people get lost using GPS to get there...me included! 2) The location is on soft, red sand so be careful not to get stuck on the way up. 4x4 recommended but not necessary. 3) There are a handful of dogs that run around the neighborhood freely. If you are allergic or afraid of dogs, watch out! Also, some like to bark at night...BRING EARPLUGS! 4) If you are planning on pitching a tent, make sure to bring some heavy duty stakes to stake your tent down. There were a few bursts of wind that rocked my car the night I stayed there (car-camping).

This was definitely staying in someone's home and not any kind of luxury B&B. The house was air conditioned but not our room, so we slept with the door open. That said, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The shower and bathroom (shared with other guests, including those in the adjacent cabin, was new and spick-and-span, with plenty of supplies. Breakfast was lovely: we could help ourselves to cereal, juice, coffee, and fix our own eggs. There's a very friendly black cat, and a cute dog. We arrived after sunset, and left after breakfast to tour Monument Valley, so weren't able to enjoy time relaxing outside.

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.

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.

Mexican Hat is really small - there are just two restaurants and one is here at the hotel. We ate dinner here and the food was pretty good and reasonably priced.

Cost us only $48/night when the other cheapest hotel within 200 miles was $129.99 and not much better, nicer hotels were in the $200-$300 range and they were really not that nice for the price. The bed was average, but the AC worked well, and what impressed me was the owner was willing to make an exception to the no pets policy and let our little Westie stay for just an additional $10/night. Oh another note if you are heading up to this area: the wi-fi (if it works) will be not much faster than dial up and your cellphone will only get signal if it is one of the older generation devices (iPhone 5S = not going to work, iPhone 5 will partially work, iPhone 4S will work but it will be spotty and data random) so be prepared to be unplugged for a while!

I needed a clean room with a hot shower and a clean bed and this is exactly what I got. I did not need a TV or Wi-fi or a coffee maker or room service or a spa or valet service, and because of that, I was able to save a lot of money. The YouTube reviewer said it had no AC, which I was prepared for but my room actually had an AC unit blowing nice cool air, so that was a delightful surprise! I was very comfortable in the room and had plenty of space for my duffel bag, cooler, and camera gear. There was even a table and two chairs for me to sit and fix myself a sandwich. Also the owner Juanita is very friendly and accommodating, even going as far as to offer to freeze my gallon jug of water so I could put it in my cooler the next morning to keep my food refrigerated. She even met me in the parking lot the next morning at 5:30am with my frozen water in hand. The owner is very knowledgeable about the area and had great tips on other sites to see in the area. The place was quiet and extremely affordable. It is very easy to find and conveniently located right off of U.S. Route 163 so that you can quickly be on your way to other destinations such as Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. There is a 7-11 right next door for drinks and snacks and gas.
