Greeters excellent with orientation- we wanted to be inside the park and El Tovar met our needs perfectly- the line can be long to enter the park so we chose to be inside where we only had one day/night there and we drove the south rim route-last day of Feb is deadline for individual driving around the rim to the scenic spots before the shuttle becomes the only option march 1st- saw the planets aligned at night and dinner in-house was good- very expensive but decent- very nice servers dining- no elevators but they are there to help if needed- we just consolidated stuff into overnight bag for our 1 night stay- its nice to stay there-

The restaurant and waitstaff were excellent; reservations are required. The key selling point (Grand Canyon view just outside) did not disappoint. The room was very uncomfortable. The bed was hard and lumpy, towels were scratchy and abrasive and there was very little space in the bathroom to place your toiletries. There was no microwave and the cabinet that contained the refrigerator could not be opened fully because the bed was in the way. Drawers in that cabinet could not be utilized. Parking is limited, but access to blue line bus is nearby. The hotel has a great reputation because of its history, but that reputation no longer applies. The only thing luxurious about this hotel is the price. We would not return, nor recommend.

Bad experience. It was impossible to book breakfast or dinner at the restaurant. Hotel guests do not have priority to eat at the restaurant. In other words, you have to book your meals before you check in. There was no room service.

Excellent location with easy parking but otherwise not worth its room rate. Short-staffed at front desk and with bellman services. No elevators and only one ramp into the hotel (located on the side) not at main entrance. Must take stairs for most things FYI. So “pack lightly”…,.The room decor is dated and “minimal” for the room rate. You must have reservations for dinner AND breakfast and cocktail lounge fills up quickly and admittance is cut off. The Grand Canyon is spectacular and the hotel’s location is wonderful but not worth its rate.
