I love the Thunderbird Lodge. It’s the only place we stay when visiting Canyon de Chelly. The staff is great. The gift store is adorable and I always find something new to buy! Our room is always clean and the beds are comfy. It’s a good place!

If you're in Chinle for Canyon de Chelly this is the ideal location and the best price. The tour led by Navajo leaves right out in front and there is on site dining. The room is updated, comfortable beds, plenty of towels. Thanks for a great visit.

We stayed here in 2020, and we enjoyed both stays tremendously. The area is marvellous, with Canyon de Chelly on your doorstep. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Recommend a visit unreservedly.

Convenient motel for the park

For the price, it was an excellent stay but it is a motel and the bathroom needed some TLC. The toilet tank had a cover that didn't fit and the shower head and pipe were loose and wobbly. The cafeteria on the grounds is convenient but people we asked said they didn't recommend it, so we didn't try it. The town has a Denny's and we ate there.

Great location.

Pet friendly. The room was clean but some service items were missing (extra toilet paper). Very close to the park and great fry bread. They were doing some service work and that is not their fault. Great pet walking area.
