Quirky, comfortable old motel right on the San Juan River and tucked against a cliff. We had breakfast at a table outside overlooking the river. Onsite restaurant was okay.

Friendly service, clean & comfortable room. We enjoyed the easy walk down to the San Juan River and pretty views of the area. Best of all, two friendly cats greeted us & made quick friends! Easy access from here to Moki Dugway, Muley Point, and Valley of the Gods.

You realize you are staying in the middle of nowhere. Close enough to Forrest Gump filming spot and Monument Valley, so it's perfect for that. Staff friendly and helpful. We didn't eat at the restaurant at the place, but I bet it was good. It looks worn, but is surprisingly clean and had a good bed and hot shower. We'd book again.

Loved the serenity of the grounds, the porches in the view of the river. Check in was very friendly. The room was clean. We ate at the restaurant as we did not want to get back in the car. I found the restaurant very pricey and had a very small menu. However food was good.

The tile in the shower needs to be cleaned. Otherwise, this is a perfectly adequate place to stay in a VERY remote area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The San Juan Inn is a genuinely historic place that hasn't gotten a historical marker, and a quirky, offbeat place that the hipsters haven't discovered. The rooms are clean, bright and large, the staff hardworking and eager to please, the onsite dining pefectly good and often outstanding, and the location and setting unbeatable. Hovenweep, Monument Valley and Bears Ears are three world-famous places within an hour or so of the Inn, and there are many more lesser-known sights to discover for yourself. Well worth the trip!

Older inn that has been well kept up. It was pricy for the facilities but options are limited in Mexican Hat, Utah. Breakfast was not included. The restaurant was just ok. My wife liked the gift shop.
