Absolutely loved the character of this hotel that sits right on the canyon edge. Fire in the lobby, porch out back, great rooms. It was perfect.

Barb

The Grand Canyon is exceptional. My only comment is that when booking, if you need NO STAIRS, as my friends and I did, do not click 'yes' when the prompt comes for 'would you like a ground floor?' It's the basement! Ask for first floor.

We absolutely loved staying there, and the fact that it is literally 40 steps from the hotel to the Grand Canyon rim makes it all the better.
