We really wanted to love this hotel, but besides the views it is definitely NOT worth the price. The Rooms themselves are ok, but the hotel staff were not customer service oriented (just going thru the motions with no energy), and the on-site food selection and quality are terrible (expensive, pre-made, fast-food style). In addition, the hotel violates their own quiet hour policy, by playing a loud and bright western movie on the exterior wall of the restaurant until after 11pm (quite hours start at 10pm), ruining the peaceful views, with noise and light pollution (forget taking any nighttime pictures from your expensive balcony). Having worked in the travel and hospitality industry for over 15 years, I would not recommend The View Hotel even at half the nightly rate ... my entire family walk away very disappointed. We suggest booking a hotel outside of the park for a lower rate (several are within 30 minutes), and simply taking amazing sunrise and sunset pictures from the free patio area adjacent to the info center, or along the 17-mile (2 hours) semi-paved valley road.

The view from the bedroom in the hotel was stunning and totally awesome. However, the hotel is a little tired and dated and in need of sprucing up. Perhaps it’s suffers from being the only game in town and a general lack of real competition. The tours of the valley will collect you from the front of the hotel which is very convenient and useful. The restaurant is expensive and underwhelming. Pity.

This has been the best hotel on our 3 week road trip. We’ve stayed here before & also at Goulding’s a few times. Hands down, this is the best, & also the most expensive night, by quite a bit. But it IS worth it; you can’t put a price on this experience. Location, location, location! Being right in the Valley is remarkable, especially after driving the full valley circle again, including taking pics sitting on a horse at John Ford point.🐴 Absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spotlessly clean, updated, with exquisite artwork & decor. The lobby & common areas also have stunning decor. We enjoyed dinner in their restaurant. While somewhat pricey, it was delicious. And what a view! Ask for, and wait for a table by the windows. We enjoyed country fried steak w mashed & delicious veggies - and a green chile quesadilla. Breakfast was included & quite good, consisting of pancakes, sausage, cereals, pastries, juices ect. The gift shop has typical souvenirs but also authentic artwork & as overnight guests, you get $20 off. The staff is friendly & of note JULIUS was very helpful, especially with our luggage when my hubby hurt his back. Thank you kind sir. Star gazing at night was crazy cool; certified dark skies put on quite a show. But what stands out is the serenity & ambiance, just spectacular. We saw people / cars turn around & leave at the gate when asked to pay a fee per person - BIG mistake. This place unlike anywhere else in THE WORLD. The experience is PRICELESS. Just do it, you won’t regret it. It was truly a joy staying here again, we highly recommend & will definitely return. I sincerely hope this review helps someone else enjoy this unique, iconic, & incredible experience!

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime stay! We had a cabin and the views from the windows/balcony were just breathtaking, so peaceful - we kept the blinds open all night. The cabin itself was super spacious, with a double bed, kitchenette, table, bathroom and separate room with bunkbeds - lots of space. We ate at the main hotel restaurant in the evening - views were amazing, service was friendly but food was average. Breakfast was also average, if it wasn't included in the room rate I'd have eaten elsewhere. Driving the scenic drive / valley loop is an absolute must! We were in an SUV but we also saw saloon/estate cars driving it too.

Location Superb. Everything else Average if i ever come back to monument valley would stay here again - maybe cabin next time as a variety. One night is more than enough. The Excellent The view. The balcony view from the a premium top floor room was excellent and what we wanted and would strongly recommend it. we sat from an hour before sunset for 4 hours until stars fully out and a lovely evening chatting, drinking own supplies and just soaking in one of the best views in the world in my opinion. Sunrise equally special. The Ok - reception staff - the room itself. overpriced for amenities but of a decent quality. clean, comfortable, uninspiring amenities but no criticism. - the parking. plentiful and close. - The exterior lighting was not dark skies park level to allow the highest quality star gazing but with other balconies watching the stars with the lights on (what the?) i dont think it was ever going to be brilliant but anywhere you can clearly see the milkyway with from a balcony chair is ok. got some nice memory star photos with mobile phone and a tripod. The Bad - the restaurant. overpriced, poor choice, adequate service - The mandatory $20 amenity fee to spend in shop is approaching dishonesty, but it is listed on the website so its advertised i suppose. yes i got a dream catcher/fridge magnet as planned but i dislike the approach. The Ugly - Breakfast. if you thought the evening meal was disappointing, this was beyond poor, the range was pathetic, what was there was uninspiring and there were gaps in the limited range. And the queue was 20 mins!, as i think people waited for restocking without success. ive had better choices freebie at a budget motel. coffee was unpleasant and actually undrinkable. Treating your captive audience with such disrespect is disappointing, and i regret not having personal supplies in room as we were driving the scenic drive first thing so were never going elsewhere. Would i come back. definitely. even at the inflated price. would i eat here again. No id be more organised.
