Desert Rose Inn and Cabins

Monument Valley, Utah

Virgin rating

The hotel

There can be few more inspiring places than Utah's national parks, and if you're hoping to capture shadows at sunset or hoodoos at dawn then the Desert Rose Inn provides a characterful and comfortable base to do so. Accommodation is rustic combined with modern amenities, including complimentary WiFi. Step outside and you'll be faced with plenty more sights, with some of North America's most iconic sandstone structures of Monument Valley, Arches and Natural Bridges just a short drive from your front door. Once you've explored the surrounding parks, a dip in the Desert Rose pool or hot tub is always on the agenda with a fitness room also on hand if you feel like you haven't stretched enough. From the delicious delights at Duke's Bistro to the warm welcome at the front desk, this is an amazing location to experience Americas' national parks.

A real find!! Located in a small town, this lodge was a real charmer. While the room furnishings were a bit rustic (stayed in the motel units), the room was clean and if an adequate size.

The breakfast room located behind the reception area was pristine. The food, itself, was well presented with a good selection of tasty breakfast items. Staff was extremely pleasant. There is also a laundry room. Convenient to Monument Valley - an easy 45 min. drive. The adjacent restaurant, Duke’s, was outstanding!!! Read less

My wife and I enjoyed a three night stay in the lodge. The room was nice and well furnished. The king size bed was comfortable. The continental breakfast buffet was adequate. Overall, our stay was fine. The only issue we had was poor Wi-Fi in our room. We were not able to access the internet on our phones or tablets inside our room. We talked… Read more

Overall, our stay was fine. The only issue we had was poor Wi-Fi in our room. We were not able to access the internet on our phones or tablets inside our room. We talked with the front desk, and we were advised to walk over to the Courtyard Lobby for the best signal. That was an inconvenience. Additionally, the television in our room was unable to get any streaming services due to the Wi-Fi problem. TIP: If you need Wi-Fi, especially for Wi-Fi calling due to no cell service, ask for a room near the Courtyard Lobby! Read less

Liked this place a lot, but be warned, Duke's restaurant does not serve booze! After a long day driving and staying at Desert Rose, Went to Dukes restaurant and I was informed that they did not have enough servers to let the two of us have a seat. After 20 minutes, we were able to get to a table. Be warned there is no bar here! Very lovely… Read more

My wife and I have been traveling from Michigan seeing some of the national parks are our way to Bullhead Arizona. We had previously booked a room in a small town north of your place (after visiting the Arches National Park and were so disappointed in the place and had no restaurants open within 40 miles, that we turned our key in and left. We drove about 40 miles south and found your place. What a welcome surprise. Beautiful place, extremely clean with all the amenities you could ask for. We give you a 10 out of 10. One question I have, you had the wonderful breakfast in the morning and one of the items was small fruit cut up with some kind of pudding or tapioca, not sure what it is, but delicious, would like to know what this was.

We spent two nights here on a 17-day family vacation through Utah and parts of Colorado. This was the by far the best hotel we stayed at during our trip and was such a pleasant surprise. We had a 2 queen room in the newer building. The beds were VERY comfortable (first good night’s sleep in over a week). Both the room and the bathroom were a lovely size and we even had a small patio to watch the sunset! The indoor pool was large with a view of the hills behind the hotel. The resort advertises as affordable luxury which sums this place up exactly. We stayed at much worse hotels on this trip for the same cost. I highly recommend staying here to explore the region around monument valley and four corners, and hope I can return here in the future. Read less
