Goulding's Lodge

Goulding's Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This apartment was located inside Monument Valley on the Utah side. The front hvac didn’t cool well. But there was a room ac in the bedroom that cooled the bedroom nicely. We only stayed one night and would have liked to stay longer. The property was clean with a grocery store, laundry, gas station, and car wash. The only negative was it was on the second floor with only stairs for access."
