Extraordinary!
We were extremely happy with every aspect of our stay. We especially appreciated and enjoyed our tour with our guide, David. He helped us understand more of Navajp culture and land. Thank you, all!

Friendliest employees!
We chose this property for its proximity to Canyon de Chelly, and were pleasantly surprised by it. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the grounds were spacious and well kept. We ate 2 meals at the onsite cafeteria, and loved that they offered local dishes like Navajo tacos, fry bread, and blue corn pancakes. The portions were really big, so we could've shared instead of getting our own. Above all else, their staff was amazing! From the front desk to the cafeteria staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. We even met one of the cooks at breakfast when she delivered our food, and she was just as friendly as the rest. We were very pleased with our stay here.

Great choice!
Based on the positive reviews I read about Thunderbird Lodge, I booked a room for one night of my cross country trip. I'm so glad I did! Everything was just right, from the clean and comfortable room, to the nearby cafeteria, to the check in and out, to the convenient access to Canyon de Chelly. It was a great choice!

Great place to stay. Lots of bang for the buck
Older place but very comfortable and clean. Nice staff and great traditional food. Had a Navajo taco on fry bread. More like a tostada but very good.

Older, but okay.
Not many options in the area, but this was convenient if visiting Canyon de Chelly. It’s old, but maintained.

Perfectly acceptable accommodation.
The room was clean and comfortable. There was only one setting on the A/C unit, on with loud fan or off. There was a ceiling fan which helped. Overall decent accommodation for the price. We wanted to eat in the cafeteria on our last day but it was takeout only due to a water line problem. Nice and close to Canyon de Chelly, which is why we were there.
