The location is perfect for seeing the canyon. Very handy having a restaurant on site as there aren’t many options in the area.

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.

We enjoyed a two-night stay at the Thunderbird Lodge while visiting Canyon de Chelly. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The location is very convenient to the park visitor center and the rim drives. We took the Lodge's 4-hour tour of the canyon, which was incredible thanks to our wonderful guide Harold, and it was reasonably priced. We also enjoyed several meals in the cafeteria, which offers freshly cooked meals (Navajo tacos!) in addition to the cafeteria -style offerings.

The property is in a unique location with great access to the canyon. Check in was acceptable. The original rooms were located in back of the office with unpleasant odors. The front desk person reassigned us to accessible rooms in the front that were acceptable. This location has one on-site cafeteria that offers limited food selections at an average quality. The morning front desk manager was busy and less than customer oriented.
