The rooms are ok but our room had a smell to it. We left the door open even though it was cold outside till it dissipated.

Property is right in the Canyon de Chelly, nice setting and quiet. The rooms were clean and basic but there was only 1/3 roll of toilet paper in both rooms I booked, thankfully there’s no surprises during our stay. Dining choices was very limited at the lodge cafeteria. Navajo burgers were good but CHILI was terrible, tasteless! only beans, no meats and very watery. Don’t know how can any restaurant screw it up like that. I asked the waitress, she said that was how they made it. I’m not impressed :( I don’t think I’d stay at this property again.
