Everything about our stay was excellent! From the check-in process to checking out, everything friendly, caring and professional. Room was spotless, dining hall relaxing, food was excellent! We even had a view of the Canyon at dinner! We were less than a minute walk from the hotel exit to the rim of the Canyon. I will definitely be returning with future family and friends! Highly recommend

8/10 Very good

Location to Grand Canyon can't be beat. Breakfast in hotel dining room was excellent tho we did have a negative experience with an employee who sat next to us. They apparently had a bad break up recently and shared all of the details with those of us close by while talking on the phone. Our only issue with our room was the heater that sounded like an airplane engine whenever it came on.

Everything was perfect except two. -A Bar tab was made and charged to our room, which was not our purchase. -We did have a mouse visit our room on one night. Definitely a gorgeous Lodge with beautiful common spaces to relax. Comfortable with a feeling of warm hospitality. Loved staying at El Tovar.
