Property is great. The area is sketchy but that’s how it is in Canyon de Chelley. There are only three hotels in town. Room is dated but clean. Restaurant on the premises was really good. Staff is five stars.

Comfortable lodging near Canyon de Chelly. Everything worked well. TV had more channel choices than most motel rooms. Dining at the Thunderbird’s cafeteria was tasty and not costly.
