This was a quick stopover, so we didn't get time to visit many of the sights in the area - a two night stop would have been better, so we could have spent a day exploring Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

Canyon de Chelly is one of the most beautiful canyons in the Southwest. It has a special quality to it that's hard to capture with words. I would call it transcendent. It doesn't attract the hordes of tourists that the Grand Canyon does, so you can really find a quiet place along the rims and feel one with Mother Earth and the ancient ones. A visit there is restorative.

Go and see the sights!
Go and see the sights! We have yet to take a guided tour but, we will on our next trip. The scenery is breathtaking, insightful and humbling. So many different locations to drive and explore on your own. I recommend the Thunderbird Lodge for food, although Junction is delicious, Thunderbird was the group favorite. Be respectful of the wonderful people who live and work here. It is beautiful but it will only stay that way if the visitors (like myself and fellow travelers) don't mess it up.

The Canyon de Chelly is absolutely stunning. Mesmerizing. I have to admit that I was ignorant of the history of the Navajo and it was an eye opening experience to learn what happened there. We hope to return when we can take a tour of the canyon floor. Not much going on restaurant wise in Chinle but the Basha's grocery store has a good selection.

I have been all over Arizona and I believe this area is THE most spectacular! The views, every where you look are breathtaking. So many old ruins to explore, caves to enter and history to learn. Visiting here is like a trip back in time, before people threw trash everywhere.

Canyon de Chelly is better than I expected, although many of the rim drive (north and south forks) were closed and the information available through the National Park Sevice in cooperation with the Navajo nation management was non-existent, never updated to reflect partial closures. That said, the property itself was almost devoid guests, and we rather enjoyed the privacy and quiet that a very lightly occupied property afforded. Chinle itself has little to offer, but the canyon itself is fascinating and invites much more exploration and time than our two day allotment allowed. This is off the beaten path, and hopefully will stay that way.
The location was perfect, near the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, where we had booked a tour. The adobe style buildings were beautiful, and had the nostalgic feel of an old style motel, yet with the modern amenities. So unique compared to the large corporate chain hotels.
Rooms were comfortable with an excellent view of the natural red sand of the canyon nearby. The location was quiet, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. The controllable thermostat was adjustable to your own comfort level. On-site restaurant and gift shop.
When traveling through Chinle, I like to stop at the Thunderbird. It is run by native folks who are friendly and helpful. It is not a 5 star hotel but it has the basics and is a nice value. In addition, it is right inside the Canyon DeCelly park entrance.
Convenient stop-over whilst visiting National Parks in the area. Room and bed comfortable, with table and two chairs. Shower good. Plenty of parking. Restaurant on site, but separate from hotel itself.
I liked everything about ThunderBird Lodge. History, Preserved, Cleanliness, Courtesy, Welcoming, helpfulness from ALL Staff. I liked the good native style quality tasteful foods there, too.
I thought we would have free breakfast like most holiday inns, dark restaurant. So we went to Denny's. Was hoping to have 3pm lunch at restaurant but closed so had to go down street.
The breakfast at the hotel restaurant was very good. We ate there both days--great service too. The location was perfect for visiting the National Monument.
