We stayed for one night at the end of September. There is not a lot to see here and we were fortunately spared the dust and winds experienced crossing Monument Valley earlier in the day. The Lodge has a pleasant patch of green, mature trees and a small water feature which are unexpected in this desert country. The room was... more

It is very much what you see is what you get. No pretensions about being anything other than a basic motel in a very small country town. Room we had was clean, large and adequate. Price was reasonable. I would suggest not eating for a few days before you arrive.....then have the big steak! The beans are an acquired taste.... more

I like it.

I stayed in this lodge for 1 night with my 3 friends. And I can imagine to stay there 1 or 2 nights more. The man on the reception wasnt so kidly. Anyway we wanted to leave the room very early next day. So he told us where to put the key. It was very easy. The room was clean.... more

The two bedroom accomodation was quite good, clean enough but we felt that the steak were overpriced, with a bit of beans and salad. Others told us they had gone down the road and had just as good a steak dinner for much lower cost. We went down to the river next morning and met river canoeers. Do not miss... more

Mexican Hat is located about 20 miles away from Monument Valley. It is a very basic motel. The rooms were large but, on closer inspection, not very clean with some strange looking marks on the bedding! The steak dinners were delicious albeit expensive and it was nice just to relax in the evenings watching the steaks being cooked on the... more

The exterior belies the comfortable rooms within this small motel. We had a large comfortable double queen room for our brief one night stop-over in Mexican Hat, and enjoyed dinner at the Swingin Steak - a real Wild West experience! more

There are not many eating options in Mexican Hat so naturally, prices are higher. Same applies for the motels in the area. My experience is with the Swingin' Steak and it was a good one. The steak was done just right and was really nice and juicy. It was served what I consider "prison style" - on a stainless steel... more

Mistake!

When we pulled up, I thought "WHOOPS! I should have listened to the more current reviews!" The place looks run-down with a lot next to it full of storage vehicles. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but that's all I can say good. Maintenance was definitely lacking. The owner is obviously more interested in his swinging steaks than in his... more

Not a bad experience, but quite rough. The rooms were a bit tired. No wifi, no internet PC at reception. Swinging steaks: pleasant atmosphere and funny BBQ. more

Really just came in late and flopped. The bed was in good shape and the restaurant was quite cool for the area. more
