Wonderful and classic Grand Canyon experience.
I hadn’t been to the Grand Canyon since I was very young. I thought I knew what to expect but my expectations were exceeded upon our arrival. The El Tovar Hotel was a very nice part of the whole experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and well appointed while keeping its 100+ year old vibe. The Canyon was only feet away - what views. Thie whole experience of the El Tovar and Grand Canyon was wonderful.

Hotels.com messes up again
Hotels . Com neglected to confirm one of our rooms which led to delays and difficulty checking in, although the reservation was prepaid

Check in was good but not very informative. Beds were worn with dips in the mattress. Restaurant was overpriced for the food provided. Lounge was nice. Location was perfect. Refrigerator in room but no microwave. Hair on the bathroom floor.

Make that trip to the Grand Canyon a bit special
Amazing. Great friendly check in and service. Food and service in the lounge was great. Breakfast in the restaurant warmed us after an early outing to see the sunrise. Real fires in thr lobbys and restaurant really added to tte atmosphere.

Probably the best option to explore South Rim - you just can’t get any closer! The staff need to be a little more involved, but otherwise great stay.

Not the best room in the house
Room was not good. Overlooking service truck parking and 5 am delivery/garbage service with accompanying vehicle back up alarms and headlights shining in the windows. Small room. Tight bathroom. Good for a single occupant, not a couple. Very expensive ! Room was assigned by hotels dot com. I recommend booking by the El Tovar folks instead
