hotel at canyon de chellly
Hi All - Thanks for the great advice on CDC and Mon. Valley. One last thing...
where to stay in CDC? This forum has good and bad info on Thunderbird Lodge in CDC. We want CLEAN. How is Holiday Inn? Heard Best Western was no good. We are there for one night, want clean, convenient and easy.
Thanks!

We stayed at the Thunderbird Lodge in 2000; our rooms were basic, but they were clean. The Lodge is right at the park entrance, so we chose it for the location. As I've said in previous posts on Southwestern accommodations, the scenery is the star at these locations. The lodging options are not luxurious, opulent, or even upper-line chain motel fancy. They do provide (on the most part) clean accommodations & hot showers- which after a day of hiking (our top activity), I'm glad to have! Hope this is of help- Canyon de Chelly is a great location; wish we had taken a guided tour, but our timetable didn't permit it. Safe travels to you.

RQF- Yes, you are correct. We only had a half-day to explore Canyon de Chelly, so we didn't arrange for a guided tour- we just followed the White House Overlook to the White House Ruin, and drove to some of the overlooks. We plan to take a guided tour on the next trip.

Zacky...one thing about these places, as RB said, the scenery is supreme and the accomodations are basic. Thunderbird Lodge is historic, been there a long time, but it is fine and I wouldn't stay anywhere else...tours leave from there and they are well worth it...

like rb, i enjoyed my stay at thunderbird lodge, very nice and a cafeteria next door with a good selection, also a gift shop. you can make reservations for the tours with your inn reservation. i liked the all-day tour best, pickup and dropoff at thunderbird front door. c.de c. is awsome!
