Great location, quiet and excellent value. Quiet. Staff super friendly and good tours offered. Property is clean but would benefit from upgrades. Rooms ok but dated. Only choice of food is the cafeteria which has limited options, and also need a refresh. Again - pefectly fine for the price charged and conveniently located.

Not a lot of accommodation choice at Canyon de Chelly but I’d say Thunderbird Lodge easily beat the nearby Holiday Inn for charm and a good position close to the Canyon. The rooms were clean and comfortable, not super smart, but fair enough for the price. The cafeteria is the only on-site dining option where friendly staff served up pretty basic food. Easily the best things on offer were the Mexican and Navajo offerings, I’d stick with those myself.

This lodge is like a little piece of history and run in a no-fuss manner reminiscent of travel lodges I’ve visited in National Parks over the years. Run by friendly, capable staff and situated near the entrance to Canyon de Chelly, it was the perfect place for me to stay. I hope to return soon, but stay longer next time!

Great place to stay if you are going to Canyon de Chelly. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a decent fridge and microwave. There is a laundromat on site. Cafeteria style dining offers a limited selection but food is fine, not fancy.

In general, it was very nice and a good location for Canyon de Chelly. My only issue was that the bottles of Bath Gel and Shampoo in the shower had not been filled and I didn’t realize it till I got in the shower. Fortunately, I had brought some soap with me.

Older historic property close to Canyon de Chelly with a restaurant and gift shop on site. They can also provide guided jeep tours of the canyon. Quiet location and nice grounds where it is nice to just hang out and relax.

Beautiful Canyon de Chelly

It is a great location for visiting Canyon de Chelly. The cafeteria needs updating- breakfast is nice but I would not recommend eating dinner there. The tours leave from the property and are wonderful.
