Situation is excellent but with a few notable exceptions staff, service and fabric lacklustre. Suffers as all facilities available to non residents and no particular benefit in staying there. Would not return

Stayed one night. When is right clean and perfectly adequate perhaps a little dated and could be modernised without raising the traditional touches fan was extremely noisy and little quirk such as not been able to charge phone from Bed not problematic but reflected how the age of the building

Great central place to stay in the park.

Wonderful historic lodge with beautiful views. You can see the lodge from Hermit road overlooks. Food options were fair. They offered coffee/tea service for the mornings but never had it

Great place to stay! Fabulous view of the canyon all around. Perfect for our adventure from the uk. Despite comments online about the restaurant being expensive we found it to be very reasonable compared to Vegas which was our first stop. Food was delicious too. Thanks to the El Tovar staff team. We loved it

The location is amazing - right on the rim. Parking is a challenge and the circulation system around the hotel is confusing. The room is really nice, the staff is super friendly and the restaurant was awesome. Main feature is of course the Grand Canyon right outside the front door. Perfect!

This is a lovely hotel with an incomparable location. Although expensive, the room was quite nice and a good size. The restaurant food was well beyond expectation for a national park hotel, and the service of the staff at breakfast was exceptional. Hard to beat being able to see the canyon outside our window and step outside to the edge at sunrise!
