Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was really nice overall. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was absolutely gorgeous, with plenty of attractions nearby. The dining options were decent, but it would have been better to have breakfast available. The facilities, especially the indoor pool and fitness room, were fantastic.
My stay at the Desert Rose was simply delightful. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and the design perfectly captured the essence of the area. The staff was extremely helpful and the breakfast was top-notch. Sitting on the porch at night was truly lovely, although I wished the prices were a bit more budget-friendly. Meeting the wonderful family at Blanding trading post added a personal touch that made me look forward to meeting the daughter and owner on my next visit!
I found the hotel to be a great choice with clean, beautiful rooms offering memorable views from the pool and gym. The rooms looked brand new with a minor issue of lacking blinds to block the sun. The service was friendly and informative despite some limited dessert knowledge and an attempt at explaining the steaks. The location was stunning, ideal for exploring Monument Valley and other national parks, though we arrived late to find one attraction closed. The dining options were a mix, with overpriced average meals in the hotel but excellent options nearby. Overall, a recommendable stay with a few hiccups.
