For as old as this hotel is, the rooms are quite clean and in good condition. It’s an old school motel but we’ve had a great experience both times we’ve stayed here. Friendly staff and a quiet night of rest.

My friend and I had a comfortable, clean room which was more than adequate for our two day stay for a great price. The breakfast is pretty sparse and not much room in the eating area but there is opportunity for excellent conversation with the hotel owner, Catarino Puentes. Catarino is one of the most hospitable and accommodating lodging owners I have ever met and is the highlight of this accommodation. He will strive to make your stay pleasant. I would definitely stay here again.

Great little place.

Nice little room. Very comfortable. It was small but clean. The owner is on property and very nice. He seems willing to extend himself to folks. In fact, I ended up staying there a second night. I stayed there when visiting monument valley. It's a little over an hour drive but a beautiful drive. I would stay there again.

Breakfast was better than the description "continental breakfast". Great bagels, oatmeal, yogurt and other things. He's doing the best he can with very limited space. "Kat" told us that he plans to add a small building for more seating. It's an older property but the king bed was very comfortable, and the room was clean enough to enjoy. Friendly manager.

Highly recommended

Hotel was clean, they had the little things that most hotels don’t. Owner was an absolute amazing person to chat with. You can tell they care about their property. One of the best places I stayed on my adventure.

With a little TLC cleanup outside, and a few updates in room (ie, rattling A/C, carpet) this could be restored to a nice property.

The people who run this motel are really great and provide excellent service. The on site breakfast was great, considering that this is a small, family run place. There is a nice little area outside to relax in. It’s a basic motel, nothing fancy, but very pleasant and friendly.
