Wetherill Inn

I was looking for a place to stay within reasonable driving distance of Monument Valley that was not one of the big hotel chains (and didn't have big-hotel-chain prices), and this inn fit the bill, without skimping on amenities. The room was attractive, comfortable and very clean. We could park right outside the door. The breakfast room offered hot foods, fruit, yogurt, etc. The staff was very gracious and helpful. We spent three nights there in October and the inn was full every night with guests from around the world, so I recommend making a reservation. The inn is not on Highway 160 with the other hotels. Head north through the town on Highway 163, the road to Monument Valley, and you’ll find it on the left. Kayenta is a small town, so driving to a restaurant for dinner is easy.

We had a lovely corner room. The breakfast, especially the coffee, was terrific. It is a perfect location to stay if you are interested in hiking and exploring Navajo National Monument, and Monument Valley. I loved the hot shower after a day of hiking. Remember to save some of your shopping for the wonderful gift shop. I purchased my favorite T-shirt, and a beautiful handcrafted necklace.

An older motel, and it shows its age. Breakfast was simply awful. Given the nightly price, and the fact that the motel was completely full on the night that we stayed, you would think they could spring for a halfway decent - not great - breakfast. Wrong. No OJ, stale donuts, no eggs, and everything else mediocre. The rooms were also mediocre. Yes, they were clean. But the floors creak everywhere and the bathroom/shower felt ancient. The heating/cooling worked but was too noisy. Apart from its location which is good for Monument Valley, this motel does not have much to recommend it IMHO.

Room was very clean, great tv, simple continental breakfast but better choices than most. Even had a protein, peeled hard boiled eggs! The help were all very nice, with a very nice gift shop where you check in and out. You won't be disappointed.
