Everything about our stay was excellent! From the check-in process to checking out, everything friendly, caring and professional. Room was spotless, dining hall relaxing, food was excellent! We even had a view of the Canyon at dinner! We were less than a minute walk from the hotel exit to the rim of the Canyon. I will definitely be returning with future family and friends! Highly recommend

Room did not feel well-maintained. Lamp shades dented or stained; bed skirts not fitted evenly; window opener broken. Asked for a low floor due to bad knees and no elevator, and while entire first floor was being renovated, we got a room on the top floor instead of the 2nd floor. Main carpets on stairs very dirty. Overall just feels very used and exploiting location for pricing that is way too high. Staff at front desk in the morning was uninformed about ADA shuttle to train. Host/greeter at restaurant not very friendly.

Room was just ok. Our room (6486) was very small and had an odd smell. The mattress was not what would expect for $450 a night. Nonetheless, the location and ambience make this hotel iconic. If you plan a once in a lifetime trip to the Grand Canyon this is your place. Wish they would invest more in room quality. However, you are not staying there for the room.

Staff was wonderful. The room itself was clean and comfortable *However!* The heater was appallingly loud. Unpleasant to have to choose between boisterous noise and cold room temperature throughout the night - both of which interrupt sleep. Not acceptable.
