Room was clean, but bed and chairs were uncomfortable. There was no refrigerator/microwave and breakfast was not included. The internet connection was very unreliable. The management and housekeeping staff was extremely friendly.

Positives: People were friendly. The room was very clean.

Negatives: Room was uncomfortable. No refrigerator or microwave. No breakfast.

I enjoyed my stay here and I would definitely recommend this hotel. Nevertheless I was not happy with the morning staff. When we arrived they spoke to us in a very rude way ( it was 1 pm and the check in was at 3 pm which was very inconvenient when you had a long trip to go from one park to another one and need to rest a little bit or need to put your luggage in your room.). Except that, everything was excellent, the location, the pool, the rooms, and the afternoon staff was very friendly and efficient.

Positives: Very comfortable, very good food very well located to visit the monument valley, very friendly staff in the afternoon.

Negatives: The morning staff was not only unfriendly but also rude and incorrect. The check in time was not convenient (too much late).

I honestly do not like sounding like a negative nag, which is what I sometimes think about people who leave these types of reviews, however this was one of the worst places I have stayed at in a very long time. I read the reviews; it wasn't as bad as it sounded in the reviews. Basically there's not much other choice for hotels in the area and they take full advantage of that. It was dirty, noisy & kind-of smelled. The restaurant food was terrible and no one ever once asked us how our meal or our stay was. It had a view of monument valley that was pretty, and our son enjoyed the outside pool but that's about all the good I can say. Driving from Grand Canyon to the 4 corners, Kayenta was about the best place to stop for the night. It looked much newer and nicer.

Positives: Had an ok view of Monument Valley.

Negatives: It's set up like a motel, the restaurant was awful.

The hotel was comfortable. The rooms are large. We did not get the type of room we had asked because of a sewer line break that was being worked on, but the staff gave us another type of room and evidently we were lucky because many customers that arrived later looked very upset at having to wait around, or at not getting a room at all. The location is close to Monument Valley, but not in the greatest area there were dogs running around on the loose (apparently wild) in the parking lot. Overall an okay place to stay for just one night.

Positives: Close to Monument Valley National Monument.

Negatives: Because of a sewer line break we did not get the room we requested.

The rooms of this hotel are clearly there since the 70's, and have never had an update since. Rooms don't come with a fridge or microwave (as some Holiday Inn Expresses do offer), but Internet is free, and the restaurant serves up a decent, if somewhat overpriced, meal. The best thing is, of course, that it is a 20 minute drive from the magnificent Monument Valley.

Positives: Close to the Monument Valley.

Negatives: Facilities and room are quite old and worn.

At first the desk manager claimed we didn't have a reservation but she found it after a bit of looking. Hotel and room were fairly clean but outdated, and hotel restaurant was closed for remodeling. This hotel was one of the nicest in an area that seems a little economically depressed so it was fine, but seemed a little expensive for what it was.

Positives: Convenient to where I was going (Monument Valley).

Negatives: Dead cat carcass under tree in back parking lot. No joke.

Rooms need to be undated. Carpet needs to be replaced and bathroom counters could use some attention.

Positives: Rooms not worth there asking price.

Negatives: Non smoking room totally separate from hotel lobby.

Quiet and clean and these are the two most important qualities. The food was poor. We discovered gouldings lodge at the monument valley which would have been a much nicer stay.

Positives: It was quiet.

Negatives: The food was not good.

The facility is quite old but has been nicely maintained. Kayenta is in the middle of nowhere but, surprisingly, there was a nice size crowd in the restaurant. We were introduced to Indian fry bread and it was delicious. The room was comfortable and was a nice size. The restaurants portions are huge but reasonably priced.

Positives: The lobby and restaurant were very nicely decorated in Indian motifs.

Negatives: Very spread out and our room was a long way from the restaurant.

Everything was at least satisfactory except the lack of an indoor pool or Jacuzzi to soak in after a long day of driving.

Positives: Continental breakfast was better than the usual standard.

Negatives: I've stayed at many holiday inns before and this is the first one without an indoor pool and Jacuzzi.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Jun 2006 rated 6 out of 10.

The price for the room was high in price. I have gone to more nicer hotels for lesser price.

Positives: The gift shop and dining.

Negatives: I got a smoking room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 12 Apr 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

Clean, pleasant and convenient, with super friendly staff. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through Kayenta.

Positives: Friendly, helpful staff.

Negatives: Stray dogs in parking lot.

A major disappointment for a holiday inn. Very expensive, for the poor quality. There are few choices in this location. Not a place where I would want to stay for long.

Positives: Close to monument valley. It was convenient. Nice gift shop.

Negatives: Power went out, rooms run down. No hot tub.
