As we travel between our California home and our Colorado home, we try to stay at fun little places. So far that's usually been Kayenta, Tuba City, Moab, etc. This time we found La Posada Pintada and decided to give it a try based on reviews and comments. Glad we did. It's a fun little place, off the beaten path, very quiet with great scenery. Don't expect all the comforts and ambiance of a chain hotel here - the floors are concrete, the walls are a foot thick adobe, there's no elevator to the 2nd floor - things like that. However, it's clean, there's a coffee machine, the shower is great and the bed is comfy - what more can you ask for? Oh yeah, and there's a free breakfast and the cook will come out and chat with you, or the owner. Nice touches.
Appears to be an eclectic group of travelers here from our breakfast conversation - retired travelers, hikers for the local bluffs, artists and photographers, writers and more. If our travels again bring us this way, La Posada Pintada will definitely give us another nights rest.
