View Hotel

Top choice in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park


You'll never turn on the TV at this aptly named hotel. Spread over three floors, the 95 Southwestern-themed rooms are pleasant, but nothing compared to the show from the balconies, especially at sunrise. Those that end in numbers higher than 15 (eg 216) have unobstructed panoramas of the valley below; the best, on the 3rd floor, cost more.

The View restaurant (mains cost $11 to $15) serves three meals a day in a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor patio. Wi-fi only reaches the lobby and some rooms.
