Parking stunk. No parking just for the hotel. And if I’m paying $500 a night I should be guaranteed a parking spot especially when you’re handicap. -Laurie Squires

Amazing views!
Our stay was amazing due to the location right on the South Rim. We lobe the historic hotel although felt that it was long overdue for a renovation of the guest rooms
Even though the properties location is great, there were other lodge nearby in the park that were also walking distance from trails and such.
We were also looking forward to our reservations at the restaurant on the premises but this was very far from “fine dining”. Not only did we not finish our dinner, unfortunately was not worth the save.
Overall a good experience because we made it but the hype is not necessary. (Can’t say it’s worth the price they charge.)
