Location was great. Parking was horrible. Room was clean but was the size of a closet. Covid19 had all restaurants closed and had to leave the park to eat. Needless to say, our parking place was gone when we returned and staff was unconcerned.

If about 50 feet from the edge of the canyon is considered convenient, then that's all you need to know. My hotel room was smaller then a standard hotel but I only stayed one night so It worked for me. Rooms are a bit dated but I think it adds character to the room. Staff at front desk and gift shop were great. I stayed here about two weeks after it was re-opened after the Covid shutdown and overall the place was very quiet. Once we arrived I brought my own dinner which I cooked at the picnic tables using a gas stove, no need to leave the park. The stars are as bright as they can be after sunset. The park is all yours in the morning until abut 10am(ish) when everyone else starts arriving. I had a great time, thank you!

  • Liked: Cleanliness

Very limited food service due to Covid-19 and certainly inferior in terms of choice and quality compared to many other hotels and restaurants in the area dealing with the same situation. We found this surprising and disappointing given El Tovar's reputation.
