Lovely historic property. It’s old but somewhat updated and clean. Given its location I appreciate they have kept the historic ambiance. We would stay again.

I had a great stay at this classic motor lodge. Some years ago I had read a travel article in the New York Times about visiting Canyon de Chelly in the wintertime. The author recommended the Thunderbird Lodge and I resolved to visit Chinle and stay there. It did not disappoint. It's located right near the mouth of the canyon and I was able to meet my guide right across the street. The room was immaculate and nicely laid out. I had everything I needed. Thank you to all the staff!

The location is perfect for seeing the canyon. Very handy having a restaurant on site as there aren’t many options in the area.

The Thunderbird Lodge is an oasis in a vast desert. Lovely trees and grassy lawns throughout the historic property. The rooms are basic but clean and updated. The staff were friendly and attentive. The cafeteria provided tasty food at a reasonable price. I would recommend the Lodge and would gladly visit it again.

Found roaches in our room. Room smells bad. Carpet is very old and stinky. Reception clerks are not friendly. They had long sour faces. Unwelcomely. Food choices at the restaurant are limited. Very pricey, too. Sales clerk at the souvenir shop was pleasant.

Enjoyed it's proximity to Canyon de Chelly and Monument Valley. Quiet area. Didn't care much for the cafeteria options, although the town of Chinle is a quick drive for other dining establishments and grocery.
