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.
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.

Our visit to Chinle was specifically to visit Canyon de Chelly National Monument, and we found it FABULOUS. The canyon itself is Y-shaped and down-cut into orangey-red sandstone. As a result some of the vertical walls of the canyon are up to 1300' high. Tucked into unlikely places on the shear walls are the ruins of earlier indigenous populations, to whom the current local Navajo population, as well as other Native American groups, respectfully refer as Ancestors. You need at least two days to do justice to this wonderful geologic and historic landmark. Allow one full day to drive the roads along the north and south canyon rim, stopping at the various overlooks and taking the 2-hour hike down into the canyon at the White House Ruins overlook. The second day, we suggest taking a locally guided tour of the floor of the canyon. Many choices are available. At this level, you see the majesty of the towering canyon walls above you, the ruins left by former inhabitants dating back at least to the 1200s, and many, many petroglyphs along the canyon walls. We took the full-day group tour, maximum 10 people, which included visiting both the north and south arms of the canyon. It was booked online through Thunderbird Lodge (Google it for info), and our guide was Navajo, a careful driver, and brimming with knowledge about the local history of the canyon and its peoples.
There is a restaurant in the hotel parking lot that was great! Not many food options in Chinle but this restaurant had the market cornered for locals and tourists - FYI get there early before 6 pm because it is popular. Clean big hotel room really close to Canyon de Chelly.
Rooms were comfortable with an excellent view of the natural red sand of the canyon nearby. The location was quiet, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. The controllable thermostat was adjustable to your own comfort level. On-site restaurant and gift shop.
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.
Good commutation between the hotel and the person how booked. Great shower with lovely water pressure. Breakfast options are available for additional costs in the restaurant. Good coffee. Great gift store too!
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.
I thought we would have free breakfast like most holiday inns, dark restaurant. So we went to Denny's. Was hoping to have 3pm lunch at restaurant but closed so had to go down street.
Perfect spot for our one night stay,maybe we should have booked for 2 nights.So nice to see an older hotel that has been kept in excellent condition, why only a 2 star rating.
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.
