Thunderbird Lodge

Hint, their time clock is not the same as Arizona time. Google told me wrong and almost caused me to miss my tour. A welcome respite with very friendly, supportive staff. Very helpful and kind. The room was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The Keurig pods included hot chocolate, so smart. They also provided non-dairy creamer instead of the crappy packets. The bed was very comfortable. Their room was quiet. It was cold and the furnace was quiet and non-irritating. It's great to see a place where people take pride. The cafeteria was tasty. Had hours that accommodated tourist needs. The tour through the canyon is enough to be missed experience.

The Thunderbird Lodge is an iconic inn just a short distance from Canyon de Chelly. It is peaceful. The staff are all extremely polite and helpful. The food at the cafeteria is ample. And the trading post offers genuine Navajo made items at reasonable prices. The room we stayed in was along the back of the inn which means that it was actually set into the cliff making it cool and quiet. We were traveling with dogs and there were plenty of places to walk them. If you're traveling to Canyon de Chelly, this is the place to stay!

The room was adequate but the location was perfect for visiting Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The tours departed from here (from what we could see) and the restaurant was very reasonable in terms of range and prices. The gift shop was very well stocked. What really shone was the service. In particular there was a young lady at the front desk when we checked in on the 23rd September, and she was not only friendly but extremely professional. Their computers were down but she checked us in and told us what time our rooms would be available. She also ran through all the services available which I was very impressed with. Overall all the staff there were really friendly. The rooms were comfortable and had everything that we needed.

The location was exceptional for exploring Canyon de Chelly National Monument as it is located right before the entrance to the monument. It is the main reason we booked our room at this hotel. The staff were welcoming, helpful and professional. Our room had a nice view into a courtyard with grass, trees, and many beautiful chirping birds. Ample parking. The room had everything we needed, all amenities available; refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board, luggage racks, television, coffee maker, toiletries, blow dryer and laundry service. The lobby has additional complementary coffee and tea available. Water and assorted drinks for sale. The property has a very well stocked gift shop. The restaurant next door is a cafeteria-style restaurant where you can eat breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks at an additional charge. We would stay at this location again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Canyon de Chelly area.

Lovely, quiet location in close proximity to Canyon de Chelly. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We slept well. The young lady working at the tour desk was helpful and took time to explain everything to us, and answer our questions. The internet connection was good. We ate twice at the hotel's cafeteria, once for breakfast and once for dinner. The meals were fine, but it was somewhat disorganized going through the food line and getting our meals. We enjoyed trying Navajo tacos that were tasty. It was a very nice experience to stay on the reservation, and to meet locals who were all very nice and professional. We would stay here again.
