It was wonderful. Just as described, but better. In Canyon De Chelly right in the Navajo Nation. All staff were friendly and courteous. We booked a wonderful 4 hr canyon tour that was amazing! Cafeteria style restaurant, but items were also made to order. Huge portions and delicious.

Very pleasant. Sure like not having to use an elevator plus Thunderbird Lodge has its own cafeteria for breakfast - they have real shelled eggs that taste good instead of many of the IHG properties serving dried out tasteless eggs. Thunderbird a more homely enviroroment.
