When you pay these prices, is it too much to expect working wifi to be able to talk to family. 
The staff seem to have embraced apathy while the place has set mediocrity as its goal. 
The views are fantastic,  but when you are disappointed with the accommodation and general service levels, it really takes the lustre off the experience. 
I will definitely NOT return

Amazing view, shame about almost everything else

We went to Monument Vally in 2021 and stayed at The View Hotel.  This trip (6/2024) we traveled with family and stayed in 2 cabins; best decision ever!  We loved  the cabins AND the view was spectacular!  We experienced a huge thunderstorm shortly after arriving that knocked out power for hours, cabins were first to come back on.  
A good continental breakfast was served up each morning in the hotel.  We went on a cultural scenic tour the next moaning, a must do-fabulous!  Cabins were far better for families than View Hotel.  
Love magical Monument Valley!

Best place to stay in Monument Valley

These are nice, spacious cabins with an amazing view.  Included breakfast at the hotel and two complimentary bottles of water that you also need to go to the hotel to get.  Check in was quick though not very friendly.  Could not get on the wifi in the cabin. There is a great hike that begins at the far side of the cabins that we stumbled upon and were so happy we did.  The standout here is the view!

Nice cabins with an amazing view

We stayed in a cabin with our two boys (ages 10 and 12) for one night. The price was outside our typical budget, but I'd had this place on my travel wishlist for a long time, and it did not disappoint!

We found all the staff very nice and helpful, and we had no problems with check-in or anything else. Be aware that you have to pay the fee to enter the tribal park ($8 per person). This fee was good for the day. So if you leave the tribal park the next day, you will have to pay again to re-enter. 

The view from the cabin and the hotel was incredible! I didn't even realize for a while that there was no TV in the cabin, because we just sat on the porch and took it all in. 

We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. Three full meals and an appetizer for $100 was pricey, but we knew this place would be expensive, and we budgeted for it. My only real disappointment here was that I had been looking forward to trying fry bread, but it was no longer on the menu. There are many other places in the general area where you can get it. 

They gave us a gift certificate for $20 in the gift shop -- this only applies to handcrafted items such as blankets or pottery. 

We took a short hike in the morning and went to breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast had fewer offerings that what you would find at a chain hotel, and it seemed that when they ran out of something, that was it. 

We took the scenic drive only as far as John Ford Point and then turned around. We were ready to be on our way to the next town by that point. 

For us this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would recommend it as such. It was a wonderful, memorable highlight of our trip.

Worth the price!

PROS: 

The views are amazing—just as you see in the photos, especially if you book a cabin on the lower level.

Cozy cabin with bunk beds for kids.

CONS:  

Horrible Wi-Fi, had to use my ATT data the entire two nights

Needs duvets....flimsy bedspread that I don't believe was laundered. I'm almost certain these are used over and over. 

The pillows smelled. 

The door's shades would not open, obscuring the full view. 

Noisy A/C

The towels felt like cardboard, not fluffy.

The cabins tout themselves as "Green." They give you all these little shampoos and conditioners in disposable plastic bottles, not utilizing a greener way of doing this. 

You'll get a water bottle coupon when you check in. You must go to the hotel to redeem these. Instead of making guests schlep to the hotel, how about stocking the mini fridge with water?

PROS and CONS

We stayed in a cabin, and we were happy enough there. One bed (plus two bunk beds), enough plugs, a desk, a shower/bath, a microwave, and a small fridge. No TV if you care. We didn't.  It was small, but it all worked. Wifi too.

We had a fine view outside the window, but there were cabins in our line of sight. Not really a problem, but if you want a totally unobstructed view, you need a cabin with a number in the 20's. We were in the teens.

The cabins are good enough

The cabins at the view were a wonderful place to stay on our USA Road trip! The cabin was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed, and the view were just breathtaking. We woke up early, made a coffee from the coffee maker in the room and watched the sunrise. All staff were friendly and helpful and the gift shop was great, so many beautiful hand-made navajo items as well as classic souvenirs. We even were given a $20 gift voucher on arrival which was a lovely touch. 
Dinner was delicious, homemade traditional navajo dishes as well as some more classic dishes. Plus there was breakfast included in the stay which was a surprise to us. Good selection of the usual stuff- cereal, muffins, pancakes, bacon, eggs.

A brilliant stay, would definitely recommend!

Breathtaking views

Spectacular location. You are visiting Navajo Tribal land. There is a park entrance fee, separate to the cost of accommodation and the National Parks pass is not valid for Monument Valley. Cash is not accepted, only credit card. Entry in May was $8 per person.

The reception for the cabins is in a demountable just past the entrance to the loop trail. There is a sign on the glass door stating only one person in the office at the time. I had my head bitten off for leaving the door open with the A/C on. It wasn't hot outside, so it didn't cross my mind someone would be using the A/C. I went to check in at 3:19pm, check in is at 4pm. I was told the cabin was not ready and then was told she would not tell me any further information as the booking was in my husband's name. Was told she would send an email when the room was ready. I explained we were struggling to access emails and had to ask twice for a text to be sent instead.  She was so very rude. Less then 10 minutes later, we received a text to advise the cabin w as ready.

We stayed in cabin 2. It was large and spacious, with a bed in the back room, bunk beds in the 'hallway' which was also the entrance to the bathroom. The lounge area had a spectacular view out to the valley. There was a sofa bed in the lounge, a small round dining area and a kitchenette. The fridge was full size. Although there was a convection oven and a microwave, there was absolutely nothing to use in the kitchen. Not a a bowl, not a plate, cup, saucer, not even a spoon. Zilch! You will need to bring equipment with you. In fact the plate inside the convection oven was missing, which kind of renders it useless. Having read other reviews we came prepared with a light meal. There is a balcony and is lovely to sit out on, but be prepared for other people to come and sit out in front of your cabin to take photos. 

For a group who requests you have short showers due to locals having to bring in their water, it blows my mind the bathroom included a bath tub, the toilet is full flush - no half flush option - and the kitchen plug did not fit, so the utensils I brought with us were washed while wasting water.

We were able to enter the scenic drive early morning, missing the crowds, so this was a massive bonus. The cabin was quiet, it was comfortable and the view of course was simply awesome. 

A very special place to visit

The place was exceptionally clean and easy access. We read the reviews prior to this trip and were skeptical but once we got there, we were surprised how clean and simple it was, especially the restroom with shower. The registering was easy, and she was very friendly yet professional. I wish people would write correct reviews instead of finding faults and misguide others with their complaining. After all this place is in the middle of nowhere and only limited with some convenience. We had a wonderful time visiting with needed accesses as camper. We were extremely happy with our visit except the road to tour was rough but that's expected, I guess. Stargazing there was exceptionally great! 

Road trip and camping at the Monument Valley 

We stayed in The View, Valley Rim Premium View cabin, in Monument Valley.  It had an unobstructed view of the valley.  The cabins are situated in such a way that you don't see the other cabins and feel like you are the only ones there enjoying this magnificent scene.  The young lady checking us in was very pleasant and answered all our questions.  The cabin was a king bed with a coffee make, small refrigerator and microwave.  The front deck was perfect for sitting and watching the full moon rise over the valley and the next morning watch the sun illuminate the monuments.  My only regret is that we were only there the one night.
