This was the cheapest place we found in this area, which says something, because this was still pretty pricy. The location is nice. Right by the river. It stops there though. We came in at night and it was a million degrees there. Turned on the AC, which worked only half the time. In the middle of the night, it was barely possible to fall back asleep, because we both woke up sweating. Wifi was absolutely lousy, and we were apparently in the best wifi area, according to the clerk. No hands soap. Creaking in the floor board. Old and ugly looking ceiling. Small refrigerator. I won't be staying here again.

The Inn/trading post/cafe have been here for years. I started staying here 25 years ago--room rates were about half as expensive then. The rooms are average (clean, never saw bugs/rodents), and the main office (trading post) has many Navajo-made items for sale and well as basic camping items. It is pet-friendly. There are chairs and tables outside, with great views of the San Juan river. The river is beginning to cut out a gorge that will become much deeper (see this at Goosenecks of the San Juan State Park in Utah) further west. The cafe is about average for a moderately isolated place like this; Their breakfasts are better than lunches or dinners. As you travel south, across the UT-AZ state line, accomodations will get more expensive (but you will have more choices, especially if you continue on to Kayenta).

We chose this property because the ones inside the Monument Valley are outrageously expensive. With a 15 minute drive you reach the Valley - and get to shoot nice photos of the rock formations from Highway 163 "Forrest Gump Point". Don't bother going to the village of Mexican Hat for breakfast or dinner; the hotel restaurant is your best bet.

Small motel near Monument Valley. Perfect for 1-2 night stay. Cafe on site with decent breakfast, with a small shop for quick bites on the go. Only frustrating thing is that there was only one accessible outlet, and it was behind the nightstand.

Located right on the river off the main road. Clean nice rooms. Restaurant on the grounds. Food was ok service left a lot to be desired. Overall a good place to stay. They messed up our food orders twice.
