I'm in Monument Valley and I am staying at Golding's.

So I think there's two hotel locations here, which is Goldings, this is one.

I know there's like some campsites and other places that you can stay at around here, but

I decided to stay at this one because it was dog friendly one and it had a lot of amenities on site and it was reasonably priced.

It's expensive, you know, for what you get, but there's not much around here.

So you are going to be paying a little bit more than other locations that you stay at anyway.

So just want to give you a review of this place.

So Monument Valley has been on my bucket list forever and I'm so happy that I finally got to do it.

That iconic picture with those rocks in the background that you see is featured on Forrest Gump.

And that's why I wanted to come here was because I love Forrest Gump and you know, it's a really iconic scene in that movie.

So I'm so happy that I finally got to come here and do that.

And so that location is only 15 minutes from this hotel because I wanted to stay here one night so that I can get the sunset and the sunrise.

Last night we got in around like 5 o' clock in the evening and then we went out around sunset time, which was sunset I think was 8.40pm but we headed out there and got there around 8pm there's already a lot of people out there.

Sunset time is very popular, but there is like many locations that you could take pictures from.

So we got like plenty of pictures during sunset.

And then we actually went this morning too for sunrise and definitely less people because it's harder to wake up in the morning to get pictures.

If you can get up for sunrise for that Monument Valley picture, I highly recommend it.

The colors are just so much more vibrant.

The lighting is so much better during sunrise as well.

I mean, mainly, you know, Monument Valley is known for that.

But I just kind of want to give you an overview of this hotel room that I'm staying in.

I think they were out of those rooms already when, by the time I booked it, I think I booked about a month in advance.

Rooms do go by pretty fast because, you know, there's only like a Couple locations that you could stay at here.

A lot of tourists come here from all over the world.

So when I drove in, you check in at the front lobby and they already had all my stuff ready.

They had it in a folder and a file ready to go.

And I got room 312 and I got an upper level room.

I thought that meant that I would have to go up the stairs, but.

But in my case it just meant that I drive up to the upper hill area so we didn't have to climb any stairs.

And the great thing about this hotel room too is that we got to park right in front of our room, which is so convenient because I have so much luggage with me.

Since I'm on a cross country road trip, I have.

I just want to bring in all my luggage with me.

So it's like so much more convenient when like the car is like right outside and I can bring everything in.

So like I mentioned, it is pet friendly here too.

There's no like grassy areas or anything for pet relief areas, but

you know, there's plenty of spaces where your dog can relieve themselves on like the sand or the rocks.

There's like a huge rock right in front of us, like right when you pull into this hotel, which is just.

And then our room at 3:12, we're actually located right by the restaurant that's on site, which is another convenient thing because you don't have many dining options around here.

Again, because it's in the middle of nowhere.

I know the View Hotel has a restaurant on site, but

this place, it's called Stagecoach Restaurant, they have their own restaurant as well.

But we never checked that out because like the restaurant was just so convenient.

So we just went there for kind of like lunch, dinner, and

then we went for breakfast this morning too.

So for dinner last night, Tyrone had a hamburger and then I had chicken fingers.

The food isn't the best, but it was good enough for me because I was so hungry.

I mean, because you don't have very many places to eat around here.

So we were like waiting to eat for hours.

And by the time we got to sit down and eat and relax, we were both like pretty hungry.

And we also tried the fry bread, which they have around here and around New Mexico.

Like this area, they advertise the fry Bread a lot, I think, like their specialty.

It's basically just flour bread, fried and you put powdered sugar and honey over it.

Then for breakfast this morning I had the omelette and Tyrone had the chicken fried steak.

The omelette was really good this morning.

For whatever reason, the coffee was just like lukewarm.

It wasn't that, you know, the hot made, you know, just made coffee.

Even when I asked for a refill, it was still like lukewarm.

Oh, other things around this site there is a grocery store, a supermarket and a gas station.

So if you need to fill up or get some supplies at the grocery store, they have it on site here.

There's also like a little museum and they offer tours here too.

A gift shop, laundromats, and they actually have an RV parking campground here too.

So yeah, they just have so much here on site.

Okay, so let me go ahead and give you a room tour.

We're in room 312 and as I mentioned, the parking lot is right out front.

It's just our car right now and then some other cars on the other side.

So then we have this awesome view of the rock right there.

And then just down that way, that pink building right there, that is the restaurant.

Then to the left is a little closet area.

There's ironing board and iron and space to put your luggage.

This is the queen size bed and some outlets, I believe.

Yeah, they have a couple outlets there and then outlets on the other side.
