We had a great stay at Goulding's. We stayed in one of the hillside suites, which was spotlessly clean and well equipped with a full kitchen. Everything we needed was right there on site, grocery store, gas station, etc. We loved the little museum with old pictures from the early days of Goulding's and the old John Wayne movies filmed there. The woman collecting admission for the museum was very rude, but everyone else was polite and helpful. It's a quick drive to the tribal park, Goosenecks State Park, etc. Yes, it's expensive, but for us this was a once in a lifetime visit to the area, so well worth it.

We liked the rooms with a view, although a bit far from the actual Monument Valley, the clean and spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen, parking in front of the room door. It is a good location, but overpriced for what you receive. No breakfast included, no plug for the bath, the sofa-bed in the living room is very uncomfortable and not suitable for sleeping

We stayed here fro two nights and reserved a room with a view of the valley. The hotel is about a mile from the main road and nestles at the bottom of a hill. The reception area is on the right as you arrive. We had a first floor cabin with two double beds. There was ample parking for visitors outside. Just behind our room, on the hill above, is a restaurant and below that is a small swimming pool which is open daily for guests. The room was of ample size and the beds were very comfortable. The only difficult thing for me was that when I was trying to photograph the valley from the room there were often numerous vehicles in view from the road below. However, despite this the place was very quiet and we had no complaints about the place.

There are few choices for lodging around Monument Valley, and everything is expensive, but Gouding’s Lodge is nice, with an Old West village feel (complete with rooms, bungalows, restaurant, gift shop, and grocery store. It is cheaper and less crowded than the View Hotel at Monument Valley, but the views are a bit less impressive, although always spectacular.

We loved the cabin we stayed in! It was very spacious and we could park right next to it. There are trails all over. And, it has a small grocery store and a gas station right there just in case you need to stock up or fill up. My kids had so much fun and needless to say the views are incredible! Get the taco at the stagecoach diner! It is the best!
