    There is only one Restaurant and we didn’t like to food there. It was an amercanstyle Diner. The Menu was only Fastfood and the Tacos don’t look and taste like Tacos.

    Amazing view of the Monument Valley! I would recommend this Hotel to everyone who wants to see this area!:)

    Must admit the staff within the on-site restaurant where we had breakfast in the morning could have been a lot more pleasanter and look like they were happy to be there. (Not all staff) but one or two need customer service training

    The chalets were great with fantastic views and setting

    The location is stunning, set in the breathtaking Monument Valley Park in Utah. The view from the terrace of your room is simply magnificent.

    The property is dated, with its features and amenities clearly showing their age from about 40 years ago. An upgrade is highly recommended to bring it up to modern standards.

    Red rock villa is a great place to stay - although pricey!
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Three-Bedroom Villa
    • Stayed 1 night

    The views are good, although marred by the neon-lit bright gas station placed smack dab in the middle of the view. No matter where you look, you see that dang gas station. Light pollution was also caused by floodlights from a college building on the left and a private home on the right. No laundry soap is provided for the washer, so bring your own if you want to use it. I used the dryer to dry our towels after swimming. BEWARE of the step between the living room and the porch. I almost tripped on it. The lodge's indoor swimming pool is advertised as heated. It was NOT. It was so cold. My daughter could bear it for only about 5 minutes. My 7-year-old granddaughter and I managed for about an hour. One other couple joined us and lasted about 10 minutes. The pool is small. Trying to swim laps was rather hard. I suppose the pool will be refreshing in the heat of the summer. It was warm outside when we visited in May, but not hot. They shouldn't advertise it as heated if it isn't! Plenty of complimentary towels and restrooms were available. There is no shower in the pool building.

    We rented the luxury "red rock home" villa at Goulding's (room 340) for our party of 4 (3 adults and one child). It was pricey for staying less than 24 hours. We would have enjoyed it more if we had stayed longer. Check-in is at 3 pm, and check-out is at 11 am. We checked in at 4 pm and left the next morning at 9:30 am. The villa is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath stand-alone house with a kitchen, laundry area, living room, and back porch facing Monument Valley. My husband and daughter got up at sunrise and captured glorious photos of the sun rising over Monument Valley! The beds were comfortable, and we all slept well. Our back room was darker than our daughter's forward room. The villa was clean. The decor is dated, with 1980's-1990's blocky brown furniture, but there is lots of storage if you need it. Plenty of bath towels were provided, with extras in the bedrooms. Small complimentary toiletries and soap were in each bathroom. There were pots, pans, dishes, and a small dish soap bottle, but no dish brush. I could only find a dirty sponge under the sink that looked like it had been used on the floor. Needless to say, I did not wash any dishes. There is no dishwasher. There is a large refrigerator, microwave, and stove. We reheated Chinese food for dinner and made pancakes for breakfast. We bought the pancake mix at the small but well-stocked grocery store in the hotel complex (next to the gas station). The villas are a distance away from the main hotel. The pool, museum, and restaurant are not within walking distance, so you must drive to get there. The museum is free for guests, about the Goulding family that founded the lodge and the many connections to Western film-making that occurred at the lodge/Monument Valley. Parking is good at the villas. We had a covered parking area for our truck. The parking area could fit several vehicles if multiple families stayed with you. I would stay there again - for over 17.5 hours!

    There were wild dogs roaming the grounds and coming onto the porch. This was a bit scary as one couldn't know if they were friendly or aggressive. There is only one option for food close by, the Goulding restaurant. There staff was not very friendly and attentive and food was overpriced.

    We had a little house for ourselves with a porch. In the house there was a separate bedroom and and an additional Queen bed in the living room. Overall the cabin provided enough space for four adults and a lot of luggage.

    I did get the feeling of “mass production “. The check in process was a bit “cold” and the overall ambiance of the accommodation was “ hi” - “bye”, ….”Next”. But I really can’t say anything was amiss or not in order.

    A brilliantly located hotel, with everything you can need within a short distance. The room was comfortable and functional, the restaurant was excellent.
