This was a quick stopover, so we didn't get time to visit many of the sights in the area - a two night stop would have been better, so we could have spent a day exploring Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

Canyon de Chelly is one of the most beautiful canyons in the Southwest. It has a special quality to it that's hard to capture with words. I would call it transcendent. It doesn't attract the hordes of tourists that the Grand Canyon does, so you can really find a quiet place along the rims and feel one with Mother Earth and the ancient ones. A visit there is restorative.

Go and see the sights!
Go and see the sights! We have yet to take a guided tour but, we will on our next trip. The scenery is breathtaking, insightful and humbling. So many different locations to drive and explore on your own. I recommend the Thunderbird Lodge for food, although Junction is delicious, Thunderbird was the group favorite. Be respectful of the wonderful people who live and work here. It is beautiful but it will only stay that way if the visitors (like myself and fellow travelers) don't mess it up.

The Canyon de Chelly is absolutely stunning. Mesmerizing. I have to admit that I was ignorant of the history of the Navajo and it was an eye opening experience to learn what happened there. We hope to return when we can take a tour of the canyon floor. Not much going on restaurant wise in Chinle but the Basha's grocery store has a good selection.

I have been all over Arizona and I believe this area is THE most spectacular! The views, every where you look are breathtaking. So many old ruins to explore, caves to enter and history to learn. Visiting here is like a trip back in time, before people threw trash everywhere.

Canyon de Chelly is better than I expected, although many of the rim drive (north and south forks) were closed and the information available through the National Park Sevice in cooperation with the Navajo nation management was non-existent, never updated to reflect partial closures. That said, the property itself was almost devoid guests, and we rather enjoyed the privacy and quiet that a very lightly occupied property afforded. Chinle itself has little to offer, but the canyon itself is fascinating and invites much more exploration and time than our two day allotment allowed. This is off the beaten path, and hopefully will stay that way.
This was a very nice stay; I’ve paid much more for much less at other locations. Friendly service, clean and quiet room, the hot sit down breakfast was much better than a regular breakfast buffet. Chinle is a small town and this hotel is a nice comfy oasis I’m glad I chose it here over the Best Western (although we did eat a fun dinner at their Junction restaurant). Oh the gift shop here is cute too!
Very old and inconfortable room!! The bed felt as if it could fell apart every second. Very dark and unplaisant room.
The “restaurant “ at the hotel is a nightmare!! Very expensive and disgusting food.
Thank God the staff was so nice and we were able to cancel 1 night free of charge
It was comfortable, clean and the room was beautifully decorated. It had more than I expected, with a coffee pot, microwave, etc., not just a little fridge. Nice amenities. The nearby restaurant had great food, plentiful portions and was an amazing value.
Clean room and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and the coffee machine in the room was really good. There is a really nice outpost next to the hotel where you can find native Americans artefacts and jewelry.
Convenient stop-over whilst visiting National Parks in the area. Room and bed comfortable, with table and two chairs. Shower good. Plenty of parking. Restaurant on site, but separate from hotel itself.
It was charming, clean & economical. Nice staff & great location near Canyon De Chelly. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Love the outdoor chairs & tables outside the rooms. Would stay here again.
Our room was quiet and comfortable, and the entire hotel operation was very professional. The guided tour of the canyon floor was fantastic - the highlight of our visit!
The breakfast at the hotel restaurant was very good. We ate there both days--great service too. The location was perfect for visiting the National Monument.
The Thunderbird Lodge is in a perfect location if you're looking to explore the Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The bed and room were both comfortable.
