My stay at the hotel was impressive! The rooms were nice and spacious, with a small kitchenette area for added convenience. The service was excellent, especially during breakfast time. The location was great for easy access to the park, although there was a slight funky smell in the area. The dining experience was decent but could use some improvement with more hot food options. Overall, a nice place to stay near the Grand Canyon.

The hotel offers warm, comfortable rooms that are beautifully clean, complete with a pod coffee machine and quality locally produced toiletries. While the room was spacious, there was a previously used washcloth that still hung over the shower rod, which detracted from the overall cleanliness. Despite this, the location is fantastic, very near the south entrance of the Grand Canyon Park, making it perfect for a visit to the Grand Canyon. The dining experience, while supplied at a low cost, was a major bonus to fuel up before spending the day at the Canyon.

The hotel is cozy and clean, with charming decor. The rooms are a bit tight, and the air conditioning was too close to the bed when we arrived during the off-season. The service was exceptional with great customer service skills, friendly and helpful staff, and a very nice and clean atmosphere. The location, while a bit small and can get crowded, was perfect for visiting the Grand Canyon and offered easy access to food and gas stations. The dining experience was delightful, offering warm and plentiful options, including unique proteins like turkey sausage. The facilities were well-maintained, and the price was reasonable given the amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite small and simple, but at another building, my room was very spacious, clean, and even had a smallish kitchenette type area. The service was lovely, very helpful, and even to the point of offering me something to remove the snow from my car. The location was convenient to the Grand Canyon park entrance, quiet, and NOT overcrowded with good quality food and drinks. The dining experience was simple but enjoyable with a mix of healthy and decadent options. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel is really near to the Grand Canyon National park and just outside the gate of the South Rim. The rooms were a bit smaller than expected but clean and comfortable. The service, especially from Imelda, was friendly and outgoing. The dining experience was good with multiple food options for the family, and the complimentary continental breakfast was great. Despite the high price of $300 a night, the location and amenities make it a value for money choice.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but lacked any view as they were facing large equipment right outside. The service was exceptional, with sweet and attentive staff going above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. The location was convenient, being close to the Grand Canyon entrance and local amenities, although the high demand led to high prices and limitations like blocked windows. The dining experience was average, with a typical breakfast setup that tended to be crowded, though staff remained friendly. Overall, a good stay with some minor drawbacks.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms weren't anything extraordinary, but they were equipped with useful amenities like a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and kitchenware. Surprisingly, my booking turned out to be a 3-room suite, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was top-notch, with the staff being exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, close to the Grand Canyon South Rim entrance, although there was a slight issue with odors.
