I was very disappointed with the small drab room. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were the size of throw pillows, not pillows for sleeping. We couldn’t use the heater at night or when we were watching tv because it was EXTREMELY noisy. I called concierge and requested a blanket and they didn’t bring it for an hour after I had gone to bed. For the price El Tovar charges I was so disappointed!

Probably the best option to explore South Rim - you just can’t get any closer! The staff need to be a little more involved, but otherwise great stay.

El Tobar was a gem. If you are going to spend time in the Grand Canyon, be sure to reserve the hotel and the restaurant for your stay here. You literally are at the rim of the canyon so you can enjoy sunrise, sunset and everything in between especially the evening sky. Plus you get an excellent restaurant with Gorgeous views and very rustic setting and excellent food. The staff was second to none between recommendations for where to visit in the park and enjoying some really classic drinks and food they were the friendliest and most accommodating staff I've met in a hotel in a long time
