I had a great stay at this classic motor lodge. Some years ago I had read a travel article in the New York Times about visiting Canyon de Chelly in the wintertime. The author recommended the Thunderbird Lodge and I resolved to visit Chinle and stay there. It did not disappoint. It's located right near the mouth of the canyon and I was able to meet my guide right across the street. The room was immaculate and nicely laid out. I had everything I needed. Thank you to all the staff!

Housekeepers were waiting around on us to leave, a full hour and a half before check out time. They even asked if they could take the sheets off the bed while we were still in the room.

The Thunderbird Lodge is an oasis in a vast desert. Lovely trees and grassy lawns throughout the historic property. The rooms are basic but clean and updated. The staff were friendly and attentive. The cafeteria provided tasty food at a reasonable price. I would recommend the Lodge and would gladly visit it again.

Found roaches in our room. Room smells bad. Carpet is very old and stinky. Reception clerks are not friendly. They had long sour faces. Unwelcomely. Food choices at the restaurant are limited. Very pricey, too. Sales clerk at the souvenir shop was pleasant.
