This was a good and interesting stay. The location was very nice and picturesque. We couldn’t find anybody to check us in for about 10 minutes, the lobby was deserted. The floor plan was a little odd, with the bathroom having no sink and the only sink being located behind the bedroom door. You also had to pass through bedroom 2 to even reach the bathroom. Being located right on the river was great and we made use of the beautiful proximity to the river. All the workers we interacted with were very nice. The parking lot is awkward and has tight squeezes and tight parking.

Beautiful property, very accommodating staff, the shower was excellent. The room(s) were comfortable but some updating is needed. An excellent gift shop and friendly personnel all around BUT the food at the restaurant was so bland it was awful. We tried everything (I even tossed in some Tabasco) but nada. Plan where to eat in advance.

Arrived at dusk. Wasn't sure where to check in, but saw people in the restaurant and asked where to check in. I can't recall what the lady said, but it was something like "not here, you don't have a reservation". That wasn't exactly what she said. I said I had a reservation - she said she had checked everyone in for the night and she was about to leave. I said I had one, and tried to pull it up on my phone, but didn't have cell service, so asked if they had wifi. "We do for guests" she said, insinuating that I was not one. So, while I tried to pull up my info, she asked my name, spent a little time on her system and found my reservation. With a half-hearted apology, she said she was lucky I caught her before she left and got us checked in. It wasn't the warmest welcome, but the room was fine. Not fancy. Not overly clean. But it was generally comfortable. Mini-fridge worked. We got in after dark, but it's such a cool location nestled into the cliffs overlooking the river. We explored a bit the next morning before hitting the road and took the dog down by the river to sniff around. We kind of wish we had more time to look around and enjoy the area. We had dinner at the Swinging Steak (or whatever they call it now), the only place still open that night, and it had a cool atmosphere, but unless you want an expensive steak with mediocre sides, I would skip it. You can get a meatless hamburger without a bun? No chicken sandwich? No burger and fries (on a bun)?

There are limited places to stay in Mexican Hat but this one was adequate for our needs for a one night stay. Staff were nice and friendly on check in. Room was a reasonable size and nice and clean but the bed was a bit on the small size although it was comfortable. Rooms overlooked the river and there were places to sit out there if you so wished. Restaurant is good but some of the booth seating could definitely do with replacing as worn out.
