Slightly disappointed in the size of the room. There was a pubic hair on the floor in the bathroom. The dining options were mediocre at best. With that being said the view was spectacular! Our access to the canyon view, which is ultimately what we came for, was very convenient. Overall very happy because we got what we came for.

Beautiful location, but very disappointed with the service. The hotel store was supposed to open at 8am—we arrived right at opening to grab water for a hike, but it didn’t open until 8:45, and the front desk offered no real solution. WiFi didn’t work in our room, and we were told to call tech support ourselves. The AC was loud and the display light was so bright it lit up the entire room, making it hard to sleep. I got sick after a hike (totally my fault for overdoing it), but when my son tried to get food to-go from the restaurant, they refused. No room service, no flexibility, no support. For the price, I expected better. The bellhop was wonderful, but that was the only highlight. Would not stay again.

The hotel is in a magnificent location with commanding views of the Grand Canyon. The owners have failed to invest in maintaining the property, whilst enjoying the high prices people are prepared to pay for staying in such a desirable location. The accommodation standard is that of a cheap motel you stay in as a student or out of desperation- 1950s decor with air-conditioning dated from about the same time-- so noisy, sleep was impossible. Booked for 2 nights but could only stand to stay 1 night. Was supposed to be the highlight of a 2 week holiday but was a heartbreaking disappointment.

This is a classic property with the most amazing views as a Grand Canyon right out the front door. Other than the older lady working the front desk who was extremely helpful and had obviously been there for years, the young staff was utterly useless. My room had old use soap with hair on it and hair in the bathtub. The nightstand was covered in sticky grossness with garbage underneath it. When I told the front desk, she asked me, “so you’re asking for a full clean?“ when I came back six hours later, my room was still not cleaned. The coffee inevitably ran out multiple times every morning . When I brought a coffee cup to the host, there’s a sign next to the coffee saying the host could offer specialty coffee for a price,and asked him to fill it up he looked at me with disgust then went back and got it and then instead of handing it to me set it on a display table across from me. It was actually comical. He was so miserable. Again the older woman at the front desk was great, the manager was nice. The rest of the staff was useless and would not go so much is a half a step out of their way to help you. It was dirty, it was outdated, it was overpriced. The lights flickered when you turn them on and the hallways are reminiscent of “The Shining.” The air conditioning was straight out of the 1970s and every time it turned on which was at least once an hour, it was so loud it startled me out of my sleep. This hotel has so much potential. It has great history. It’s truly a shame.

This place dates from 1910 or so. We got one of the old and totally refurbished rooms all done in period style. View of the canyon from the patio bar or the inside bar. You are fifteen steps from the rim railing. This is the historic hotel at the end of the rail line from Williams. Nothing better than rubbing elbows with the ghosts of America’s historical leaders and legends.

Historic atmosphere, but disappointing comfort and food. The hotel has undeniable charm, with an iconic historic atmosphere and friendly, professional staff. However, the experience is severely undermined by several issues: – The restaurant is a disaster: food is poorly cooked, extremely overpriced, and no menu or pricing is visible before entering. Definitely not up to the expectations of an establishment of this level. – Rooms are outdated and unacceptably noisy, especially due to the old air conditioning system, which makes sleeping difficult. One night might be tolerable for the location and view — more than that becomes a struggle.
