Top Sand Island Petroglyphs Hotel Reviews

Desert Rose Resort & Cabins

Desert Rose Resort & Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Clean pool and hot tub, room and all facilities."

Hat Rock Inn

Hat Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay in Mexican Hat while visiting Monument Valley! The property is a little dated, but everything was clean, and the beds, sheets, and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The air conditioner was a bit loud, but overall, we had a very comfortable stay. The pool and hot tub were wonderful additions, especially after a long day of hiking and driving. Sitting by the fire and watching the Milky Way was a highlight! The location was convenient, with Monument Valley about 20 minutes away and a great restaurant next door for steak lovers. It’s an excellent option if you want to explore the area without paying the higher prices of staying right in Monument Valley. Our only disappointment was that the front desk welcome could have been warmer and friendlier. The property itself was great, though, and we left wishing we had booked more than one night!"

La Posada Pintada

La Posada Pintada

10/10 Excellent

"Small place with a bohemian vibe and beautiful rock formation view from the room balconies. Staff was kind and helpful. Breakfast was perfect."

Blue Sage Inn & Suites

Blue Sage Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The online check-in was easy, and the room was clean and functional. The only complaint we have is with the bed. It was a double, which is rather small for two people. Also, the mattress was extremely soft, and any movement caused the bed frame to creak significantly."

San Juan Inn

San Juan Inn

8/10 Good

"Absolutely love the location and sitting by the river in the evening was just magic. There is a restaurant and the food is just fine, but highly recommend bringing your own food and enjoying the views from the sitting area of the river. Room was clean. Staff was helpful. Will definitely stay here again."

Kokopelli Inn
