Terrible

Our one-night stay at the San Juan Inn in Mexican Hat, Utah was disgusting and unacceptable. From the moment we arrived, guest safety and cleanliness were clearly not priorities. At 9:14 p.m., I got an email saying our room key would be left on the ground directly under the doorknob—yes, on the floor. Anyone could have picked one up and walked in. Their website claims 24-hour service with a night phone, but that was a lie. Instead, they left keys outside like a sketchy roadside motel. Inside, the room was filthy. Bugs were everywhere—on the bed, bathroom, floors, and windows. The bathroom window didn’t seal properly, so insects poured in all night. I woke up to a sink full of dead bugs. The shampoo and conditioner were in cheap, tamper-prone dispensers—completely unsanitary. There was no information about front desk hours, the restaurant, or Wi-Fi. It felt like the bare minimum was done to rent the room, with no care or respect for guests. The view was nice, and the woman who checked us out was sweet—one bright spot. But later, in the gift shop, an older woman was openly insulting a disabled vendor—completely inappropriate. The Native man in the restaurant was also rude and made us feel unwelcome. This place cuts corners everywhere and tolerates unprofessional behavior. I wouldn’t stay here again if they paid me, and I’d caution anyone considering it. The location may be scenic, but the operation is a total mess.

De advertentie vermelde een beoordeling van 8,4 vandaar hebben we uiteindelijk gekozen voor dit verblijf. Niks was minder waar. De kamer was zeer ouwbollig, donker en afgeleefd. Er hing een muffe, doordringende, vochtige geur in de kamer die na anderhalf uur met de deur open gezeten, nog steeds aanwezig was. Het beddegoed was opgelegd maar volledig gekreukt alsof er reeds in geslapen was. Nee nooit meer…zeker voor de prijs van $159…schande voor de, voor de rest, goede service van Expedia

Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in was quick and efficient. Strange to see an actual key for the room rather than a card. Room was nice and large with 2 queen size beds with a nice firm mattress. On the downside the room was very dated, the bathroom was in need of a full redecoration. The tiles were grubby as was the bath and toilet.
