Anasazi Inn is a funky hideaway

These days, the folks who come to explore the magnificent scenery and fascinating culture of the northern part of the Navajo Nation have a wide variety of lodging options, from the upscale View hotel in Monument Valley to historic Goulding’s lodge to the modern chain motels in Kayenta.
But if you’re looking for some local color and a place with a patina of history, you might want to drive nine miles west of Kayenta to the Anasazi Inn.
Just off busy U.S. 160, the Anasazi perches on the rim of spectacular Tségi Canyon. From a viewpoint below the motel, you can see an Anasazi ruin in an alcove, one of many that line the canyon walls.
