Just DO NOT eat at The View Restaurant! Bathroom was nice, comfortable temperature in October. Nice little balcony to have morning coffee. Coffee maker in room, tv, etc. Room was quiet both nights, but could hear snorer in next room.

Not to sound pointless, but the view out you balcony is spec-tac-ular! I mean drop dead gorgeous beautiful. The rest of the hotel is very very good, but they named the place correctly.
The hotel is within the Navejo Nation. This is perfectly fine. Everyone was exceedingly nice. We visited at a slow time, I worry how overwhelmed the place gets in the hyper tourist season. But even then I bet everyone will be nicer at The View then probably all other places.
Oddly, I would say the pictures on their website don't give the place enough justice or they had just updated a lot of the hotel.

Published Date: Mar, 10, 2025 Travel Date: Mar, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 We stayed at The View Hotel in Monument Valley the night before we made the 17 mile loop drive. You have to be at the gate for the loop drive by 3:00 in order to make it out by 5:00. We were not aware of the arriving about 4:20, so we made the loop drive in the morning. Check in was very smooth and the view was definitely worth the room price. There is a restaurant onsite that had a nice menu. We chose Monument Valley Navajo tacos. They were very tasty. There is also a gift store onsite that has an excellent selection of Native American jewelry, pottery, sand paintings and rugs, along with the typical tee shirts and gift shops selections. Breakfast is served in the same restaurant as the evening meal, but was complimentary. Overall we had an excellent stay!

Unique location, Monumental Views!

Published Date: Mar, 6, 2025 Travel Date: Dec, 1, 2024 Rating: 5 I have wanted to visit Monument Valley since I was a kid. I used to love watching all the American Wild West shows and Cowboy movies and am still fascinated by the desert scenery, coming here was basically a bucket list dream. I stayed two nights as I wanted to take in sunset on New Years Eve 2024 and sunrise on New Years Day 2025. The biggest problem for me was transport. As a solo traveller, I did not want to drive and tour companies only seemed to operate day tours to the park so, I hired a private driver to/from Flagstaff (at great expense) and it was worth every cent! Now I've been here, I can fully understand why they wouldn't want bus loads of tourists staying here, it's just so peaceful and beautiful.
I booked my room directly on the hotel website and requested the best, premium view on the top floor. It was very clean, tastefully decorated, the bed was comfortable and it had a nice size bathroom with bath. The plumbing was a little noisy on the first night, but the guests next door were gone the next day and the noise disappeared. It was impressive to see how the hotel is built to blend in with the landscape making it truly unique.
Breakfast was included in the room rate, but it did not really appeal to me. I did try the pancakes one morning which were quite nice, along with a good cup of tea but the best thing about the restaurant is the view! There is a microwave and fridge in the room should you wish to bring your own.
I was somewhat disappointed with staff. Check in was OK, but staff in the gift shop, restaurant and housekeeping were not the most friendly. I didn't see any of them smile during my two day stay.
The hotel website offers a list of independant approved Najavo Guided Tours. I made contact directly and pre booked a 3.5hr custom guided tour, it was the best way to see the park. Guides take you to places within the park that you would not likely see on the public trail. The pick up point was basicallly in The View Hotel Car Park.
Without a doubt, the grand finale was waking up at 7am on New Year's Day 2025 to the most magnificent sunrise I have ever seen in my life and all from the comfort of my hotel balcony thanks to The View Hotel!

Published Date: Mar, 6, 2025 Travel Date: Mar, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 This hotel is clean and maintained. The staff was accommodating, friendly and the Navajo nation is so pleasant. The view is beyond awesome and makes up for the restaurant which is ok and the complimentary breakfast is ok I mean no decaf coffee. But I would really recommend it, just bring your own K- cups
