Rooms are NOT worth what I paid! Beds are awful, TV doesn’t work, REALLY small! At the Grand Canyon and have a view of the parking lot - what do you expect for $350+ per night per room (I had 3 rooms)!

Food options were good. The room was awful. The AC broke. The window was broken. The AC was noisiest I have ever experienced. Plus there was no way to deflect thevair coming out,... the deflector was bolted. There is only ONE plug in the room and was being used by a lamp abd coffee maker. The safe is mounted so high up that you can barely reach it.

Modest room in a unique historical hotel at S Rim

We enjoyed our stay in the El Tovar Hotel for its unique historical ambience and exceptional location across from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The queen bed room was expensive but not great. The decor was quite modest, the mattress was too soft, the AC not very effective and loud, there weren't enough electrical outlets, and the TV picture was grainy. However, the bathroom was a generous size with appealing retro black and white tiles and the shower was great.

Just OK, consider other options

Our stay here was just OK - we weren’t made to feel particularly welcome, which given this is likely a trip of a lifetime to the Grand Canyon was a shame. We really disliked our evening meal in the restaurant. It was overpriced and was not fine dining. We preferred our lunch in the Bright Angel lodge next door. This was the single most expensive nights accommodation on our trip to the US and it wasn’t worth it, not really. The room and beds were fine, it just wasn’t the special stay we were expecting.

Historic Hotel in Beautiful Location

El Tovar is a beautiful, historic hotel right on the south rim. Main complaint is the room AC unit in the room was very noisy. Make restful sleeping difficult. Good food options with the Bright Angel Lodge.

Slightly disappointed in the size of the room. There was a pubic hair on the floor in the bathroom. The dining options were mediocre at best. With that being said the view was spectacular! Our access to the canyon view, which is ultimately what we came for, was very convenient. Overall very happy because we got what we came for.
