The location couldn't have been better, right next to the Canyon with convenient facilities nearby. The dining options were satisfactory, and the overall experience was delightful.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit small and stuffy, but on the bright side, they came with a bathroom featuring a shower, a coffee maker, a small refrigerator, and a porch with a view of the canyon, ideal for sunrise views at the south rim. The service was not a huge problem overall, though some staff members were downright rude. The location couldn't have been better, right next to the Canyon with convenient facilities nearby, but there were no specific comments on the price or value for money aspect.

Staying in a cabin just 30 feet from the canyon's edge was a unique experience. The rooms are spacious, some with a fireplace making it cozy in many seasons at altitude, but having only a sink can be a bit inconvenient. The location is perfect, right next to the Canyon, offering easy access to village facilities within walking distance.
My stay at El Tovar was truly memorable! The location is beyond awesome, right at the Trailhead, making it the perfect place to stay for exploring the Canyon. The room I stayed in wasn't near others, which offered a sense of privacy and tranquility. While the service was a bit moody at times, overall, the staff was super friendly and courteous.

I stepped out of the cabin and could see the grand canyon right away, which was simply perfect.

The service was excellent with helpful staff and gleaming bathrooms filled with all necessary toiletries. The dining was delicious, especially with the stunning canyon view during breakfast. However, the room was a bit dark and uncomfortable, although spacious and equipped with essential amenities.
Staying here was an incredible experience! I was literally 50 feet from the rim of the canyon, which was amazing. The rooms seemed to have been redone recently in terms of decor, but some original doors had just been repainted. The location was perfect for enjoying the Rim Trail views and sunsets. The room was clean with a cozy bed and a convenient minifridge. However, the light pollution at night was a bit of a downside.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were fine, but not as cute as the first two we stayed in. They had a full bathroom, coffee maker, and were a short walk to the south rim of the canyon for sunrise views. However, they only had a half bath and another entrance to the outside. The service was outstanding, with staff working very hard to maintain a gleaming bathroom supplied with all the basic toiletries. They also answered all our questions regarding transportation and park activities, though they seemed a bit moody at times. The location was perfect, as we could step out of the cabin and see the grand canyon right away. The dining experience was delicious, especially with the canyon view at 7:30 AM. The facilities were good too. Overall, the hotel provides a great value for money.

The service was a mix, with friendly staff but occasionally moody interactions.
