It’s very rustic and rather expensive given that, but we were paying for the location. Dinner was excellent, and the free coffee was delicious.

Great property location, right on the south rim. A/C extremely loud, while we weren't there to watch TV, you could only see it from one chair in the room, not facing the bed, really couldn't relax and watch it. No elevator so if on upper floors you walk the steps.

El Tovar is an awesome place. Worth the money to stay directly on the rim. Very convenient to roll out of bed and watch the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Easily scored a parking spot right in front. No need to leave this spot while you are here. So glad this room came up and didn’t stay in Tusayan. Been wanting to stay here ever since I saw Clark W. Griswold rob the desk clerk in vacation.

We loved the exclusive feel of this location with its rich history and complete uniqueness. The views are second to none. The wildlife around the hotel early in the morning added to the awesomeness of this place. We only had to minor complaints the 1st being coffee. Many people were up early (5am), and we were all looking for coffee that would not come out until 6am. The second complaint was the TV. After a long day of walking/hiking/exploring we just wanted to lay down and watch something. The channels were very limited and all had poor reception resulting in a fuzzy screen.
