We loved the exclusive feel of this location with its rich history and complete uniqueness. The views are second to none. The wildlife around the hotel early in the morning added to the awesomeness of this place. We only had to minor complaints the 1st being coffee. Many people were up early (5am), and we were all looking for coffee that would not come out until 6am. The second complaint was the TV. After a long day of walking/hiking/exploring we just wanted to lay down and watch something. The channels were very limited and all had poor reception resulting in a fuzzy screen.

Great property location, right on the south rim. A/C extremely loud, while we weren't there to watch TV, you could only see it from one chair in the room, not facing the bed, really couldn't relax and watch it. No elevator so if on upper floors you walk the steps.

The most wonderful thing about El Tovar was that it overlooks the Grand Canyon the location you can’t beat, but unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told to make a reservation at the restaurant because it gets busy and we couldn’t get anything on till 8:45 because I don’t have enough staff to accommodate everybody that was staying there maybe because it was off-seasonso we had to eat elsewhere Our rooms were very small, but that was to be expected because it’s an older hotel but beautifully appointed unfortunately the bathroom toilet kept running all night long so it was hard to sleep. I did let them know in the morning. Hopefully they fixed it.

We arrived early and stopped by the front desk to verify our reservation. Not only was our reservation in order but they gave us a room even though it was way in advance of their checkin time. They also made reservations for breakfast in the morning.

Close to Grand Canyon, but needs updated hotel

Liked that the hotel was right in the National Park, but the rooms were very small, the stairs were hard to navigate, and we were on the 3rd floor and moving luggage was hard without an elevator. The rooms being small meant it was hard to take out clothes from the luggage. It needed a bigger desk to place stuff including our computers and the coffee machine within the room. The TV was all analog channels, so no HD! If we were paying so much money, you'd think the hotel would be better. On the plus side, great views of the Canyon, and easy to find places to eat/drink nearby. Also easy to get to the shuttles and was right next to the Angel trail for one of our hiking days.

El Tovar is an awesome place. Worth the money to stay directly on the rim. Very convenient to roll out of bed and watch the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Easily scored a parking spot right in front. No need to leave this spot while you are here. So glad this room came up and didn’t stay in Tusayan. Been wanting to stay here ever since I saw Clark W. Griswold rob the desk clerk in vacation.
