Very old; nothing fancy; rooms are well worn but clean.
The restaurant was good (not great); no alcohol served there.
They have a great museum (lots of old westerns filmed there).
Great views
Excellent Stay @gouldings

It’s was like a one bedroom apartment. Kitchen, small dining area, and a patio with chairs and a table to soak in the stunning scenery right in front of you. The staff were polite and courteous, they even sent someone over to help us with the tv that was acting up but it was really our fault. I really recommend the cabins above all. The food was incredible and the best cheese sticks in the country. You can’t go wrong here and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Drive around and look at rock formations and maybe see a few places where scenes from movies were shot. Learn more at the Goulding's free museum than the tour. Food was good at the restaurant.

I was surprised they had one available. We drove in and checked in. There were two queen beds but they were very tall. I am under 5 feet so it was difficult to get in. The bath was very small with a big shower but I doubt the bath was big enough for a wheelchair. The shower had a raised bar across the front which would be hard for a wheelchair. I use a cane but a shower chair would be handy. The motel really needs to get one. We had a patio so the view was pretty. The restaurant is on the side of a mountain with steep stairs. There is disabled parking but it is steep. The ramp into the restaurant is very steep. The wait to eat in the restaurant was an hour. They seem short of staff. When we did get seated it took another hour to eat and get our food. Our Server was nice but it took too long. I suggest you eat before you come or purchase food from their store. This resort is beautiful but an older property. If you are disabled I would caution you about coming since the area is very hilly. The food in the restaurant is ok but nothing special and pricey. Also the parking for the rooms is very crowded.
Wild West Adventure!!!

We rented a 3 bedroom 'luxury guest house' just up the road/hill from the Goulding's Lodge. We ate at the Stagecoach restaurant the first night, the food was decent - I am vegetarian so not many options, I had the Navajo Taco/vegetarian...it was fine and everyone else was happy with their meals. The service was slow and the staff not so nice or helpful which was a surprise because everyone else we encountered during our time there were super nice and helpful.
Our home had a lovely view of Monument Valley, was clean and well stocked and very comfortable. Great for a group of friends or larger family.
We enjoyed the Museum and learning all about the Goulding's - what visionaries they were!
