The first night we had a noisy room but the Reception staff were extremely helpful and moved us to a quieter and larger room for our second night. It was the fault of our travel agent that our first room was not what we had asked for. Very helpful staff all round. Superb location. More

We last visited the El Tovar 25 years ago and little has changed, other than more people visiting, even in February. Yes, the property is expensive and yes, there are properties located in Tusayan that would be not only less expensive, but more modern. This is a national historical site that is well kept, clean and with friendly employees (overall).... More

Expensive, but then it is in a National Park perched right on the rim of the Grand Canyon, but worth it. The most economical king room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Service was great and the location, which is what you come for, is superb. If not for the history, one might be just as well off at one of... More

An old charming hotel with a story. We got a small room on the first floor with little prospect of Grand Canyon. All the furniture in the room is old, but the bed was good. But just because the house and the furniture is old, so they do not also have ancient hard towels with loose threads? The staff was... More

All travelers who pretend visit a park need understand some aspects. Hotels inside the park is very expensive and don’t have a 5 star services. But the El Tovar, is very beautiful, clean and the location is perfect The front desk is slow and not to much friendly. We stayed in a suite with a double bed with a partial... More

Thanks to other reviewers, my husband and I had appropriate expectations when we arrived at El Tovar, and we were very pleased. This place is all about its location. It was a little pricey, but you're paying for proximity to the canyon. The room was clean, the curtains blocked out the near-full moon, noise wasn't an issue (although the hotel... More

There are plenty of rocking chairs on the porch of this historic hunting style lodge to enjoy the spectacular views. Located on the South Rim, this is the perfect location. It's an easy walk to all the historic buildings. The lobby has a wonderful rustic charm with a large fireplace and lots of seating areas. The lobby is dimly lit,... More

Our 2-queeen deluxe room was roomy. The beds were very comfortable. It was comparable to a Best Western quality. Service was very good. iPod docking station connected to TV - so load your iPod with movies for the evening entertainment. Bathroom had good amenities, vintage tile, shallow tub. You can't beat walking out the door and being on the rim... More

It's hard to separate this hotel from its SUPERB location - if you want to just step outside the hotel door and be as close to the canyon as possible, there is really no other comparable alternative. Yes the room is dated, smells old, but it is clean and kept up as best as it could be (without a total... More
