We stayed for one night in late October. First off, the room was pleasant. Better decor than a chain hotel and, we felt, very clean. In fact, we watched as they cleaned the room next to us. ALL of the bedclothes including the sheets, blankets, pillows and bedspread were removed whenever a guest checked out. No germs here! But that isn’t why we came here. The view was magnificent. We caught the sunset, moon rise and sunrise. All were spectacular. I look forward to returning. Next time we will stay longer.

I must say the view is awesome! Having said that, there is a lot to be desired. We are here in November, my wife and I. I know it’s on the reservation but creature comforts like reliable Internet are not here. In today’s age, being connected is paramount. An argument can be made that you come here to unplug. I don’t have any children but today’s kids are using ipads and phones. The villa or cabin had basic needs met. A fridge and microwave. It’s heated and the hot water comes in the form of propane so don’t be shy to make sure you have a fresh propane tank. There are no blackout shades for the windows and you are facing East so prepare for the sun early. We brought a propane fire pit to keep warm outside during mid 40’s degrees and on the third and final night we’re told that we couldn’t have it. Simple rules could be posted online so we could have made a decision whether we wanted to stay inside all the time or just not stay here. The restaurant at the lodge, we ate breakfast at and immediately started feeling ill. Undercooked eggs and bacon that tasted terrible. Can’t believe I am saying bacon tasted terrible. Lastly, not really on the lodge, but a lot of attractions are not accessible by anything other than an SUV or truck. Wish they were a little more forthcoming on that. You do have the option to take a guided tour.

Enjoyed a late lunch at the Stagecoach after touring Monument Valley. Friendly staff. Comfortable, casual and attractive atmosphere. Shared a Chicken Quesadilla and a side of Traditional Fry Bread. All very good and reasonably priced.

Traveled with our 5 lb companion and stayed in one of the villas that included a kitchenette with a skyline view. We were on the back row up on the side with an unobstructed view (think 1400 or 400/4000) of a portion of Monument Valley. The setup was perfect - parking by front door, deck with table & chairs, laminated entry way & galley kitchen with small dinette table, sitting area w/ tv on wall, big bedroom in main room and a separate bathroom. Shout-out to the hotel and facilities staff as we had an issue with the drain in shower tub; a staff member was at the front door within 10 minutes and problem rectified shortly there after. Room was generally clean & fresh but could tell remnants of other dog(s) had been in the carpeted area. It is a bit dated though. Kitchen was supplied with 80% of the listed items but those items lacked we didn’t need for our stay; essentially used for coffee and a couple of meals. The Goulding’s location had an excellent onsite gas station, robust little general store and great washateria. Villas are within 10 minutes (straight shot thru roundabout) of the Monument Valley Tribal Park - easy to arrive before dawn. Glad we stayed here and would do so again should we return.

We were so glad we stayed at the Goulding Lodge in Monument Valley. We stayed in one of the Skyline Villa's with a kitchenette. It was perfect! Very comfortable accommodations and loved sitting on the front deck overlooking the valley. I would definitely stay there again.
