Parking was a challenge as we arrived late and having to check in at the Bright Angel lodge was inconvenient after having travelled most of the day. Room was clean and the location great to walk out and see the Grand Canyon on your doorstep though. No breakfast facilities meant finding somewhere else. We ate at the Bright Angel which did offer some great options, not included in the hotel price though.

Our two queen bed room had the most wonderful view of the canyon. We awoke very morning to a a beautiful view. The room is nothing fancy but was clean with coffee in the room. This is one of the best spots to sleep in the park.

Only downside was check in had no details of our reservation which was a little disconcerting. As we were from the UK we had no internet and the hotel couldn't provide this until check in so it wasn't easy to find a copy of our booking proof.

Can’t fault the location or the view, stunning. Room was clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Downsides, had to park about half a mile away, the bed was not comfortable and the bathroom could be helped with some modernisation. Was just there for a night though so on balance was an enjoyable stay.

location is amazing, it's an older property with few amenities and certainly not cheap, but being right on the rim of the grand canyon made it worth it for us, the trailhead for Bright Angel trail is just steps away, super convenient

This is truly a unique place to stay and enjoy the beauty of the Grand Canyon. The Bright Angel lodge next door offers dining options both late and early. We loved all the small touches like specialized tile in the shower featuring Grand Canyon wildlife.
