We stayed here for the night before going into the national monument the next day. Great location! Would absolutely stay here again. They have a cafeteria right on site so you don’t have to go back into town for food.

The location is amazing. It is right at the entrance to the park. The beds were really comfortable, lots of choices of pillows. It had a K cup coffee maker. The refrigerator is big and the freezer actually freezes things. The staff could not have been any more friendly

10/10 Exceptional

There are (at least) two wonderful aspects of Thunderbird Lodge. In no particular order, the first relates to the location of Thunderbird, inside Canyon de Chelly. The second is the friendly, welcoming, generous staff of people at the hotel who reflect the spirit of ancestors who lived in this inspiring location!
