Desert Rose Inn and Cabins
This nicely maintained motel with a handsome timber-frame facade and panoramic views of the surrounding red rocks is in Bluff, 25 miles northeast of Mexican Hat; it's an excellent base for exploring Goosenecks State Park, the northern end of Monument Valley, and even Canyonlands National Park, to the north. Rooms are spacious with log-frame beds and large bathrooms, and there are also seven upscale cabins with wood-paneled walls, high ceilings, and private porches. The on-site restaurant, Duke's, serves breakfast, dinner, and nonalcoholic beverages daily.
