I didn’t care for the size of the bed, for two people a double bed, kind of small. Also the room was small, but that was okay. Checking in, they said they’d call when the room was ready, but no one did. The bar had people wait outside and no one came to tell you they had a spot. It was odd.

Great place to stay inside the park, and views of the Grand Canyon were breathtaking. The only negative was dinner in the main restaurant. The service was ok, but the food really wasn't that good for the price. We ordered both of our steaks medium rare but they came out nearly raw. The broccolini was also tough and really undercooked.
