Booked as soon as I could online for our May 2023 trip and got an email confirmation. On arrival, check in was fast, friendly, and efficient. We were happy to have a standard double on the far end of the hotel on the first floor, which made it easy to bring in our luggage and our cooler. Even though we were far from the lobby, we were pleased to have decent wi-fi. TV had basic cable, good for local weather reports, and a Keurig, which took care of our morning coffee needs. Beds were comfy with plenty of pillows to stack up. Instead of dining in the restaurant or using the food delivery offered at check-in, we dined on road trip sandwiches and chips on our balcony, relaxing and enjoying one of the best views nature can offer. We did enjoy a discount in the gift shop that was given to us at check-in. The next morning, we'd booked a back country tour with Monument Valley Tribal Tours. It was ultra-convenient to be able to load up our truck, check out, and walk down a short flight of stairs in the parking lot to meet our tour guide.

Spectacular views! Clean. Cabins were small but the front porch view made up for it! Ice and other services were in the hotel so that was not convenient. If you don't mind walking or taking a car up to the hotel the privacy was wonderful.

A lovely building in a fabulous location and aptly named. The staff are friendly and helpful, but - and it is a BIG BUT - the food is pretty awful and their over-reliance of single-use plastic is nothing short of shameful. Not so much a hotel restaurant as a works canteen, without a single piece of crockery, cutlery or glassware in sight at breakfast-time! Plastic knives, forks, spoons, beakers, cups. Polystyrene bowls and plates - all this from an indigenous people (the Navajo) who are supposed to be 'at-one' with nature! To be fair, our tour operator had warned us beforehand that it wasn't a good place to eat, but with the nearest restaurant a 30-minute drive away up in Mexican Hat, they do rather have a monopoly locally and being alcohol-free, there's nothing to ease the pain!

The view is spectacular and that's where it ends. Paying over $250 for one night stay, you'd expect more than just a view. The hotel exterior is uninspiring, the registration staff were unfriendly, the restaurant closed earlier than most evening trips ended, the breakfast was poor exacerbated by the crowded lay out of the food into one small area and someone accessed our room because their key fitted many rooms! Stay outside the park & use Goulding store for food.

The View Hotel lives up to its name. There are plenty of places inside and outside the hotel that offer Breathtaking views of Monument Valley. I expected the establishment to be rustic considering its location. Maybe lacking in amenities. I was wrong. The View Hotel has everything a regular hotel has like TV's, Showers, WiFi etc....The staff is friendly and helpful. It is modern and kept clean. I would definitely recommend this place.
