Very convenient to the park. This was a last minute stay due to closures in Grand Canyon National Park so we were only able to get 1 night, which limited our ability to take advantage of the amenities and location.
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and especially enjoyed sightseeing at the South Rim! The hotel and our room were clean and comfortable. The Staff were friendly and helpful. Felt it was a great economical value through Expedia compared to others in the area. Would definitely recommend.
We loved the room! It was quiet and comfortable. Anytime we needed something like clean towels or extra coffee, the cleaning folks were so kind and helpful. The front desk people were very courteous. In all, it was a good experience and we would stay here again.

The room was clean. One sink in the bathroom and another sink outside the bathroom but only soap and washcloths in the outer sink area. Breakfast buffet was very good.
Love the baloney over looking the atrium from our room. Beds were very comfortable. Nice outside pool. Restaurant was good. Loved the history that the hotel has in the area.
This hotel is perfectly adequate if you are stopping to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It is clean and friendly. Rooms are adequate. Good value for the cost. No breafast included. Centrally located for the town. Very walkable to local restaurants. Would use again.
We were scheduled to stay at Grand Canyon Village, but the flood damaged the water supply. Expedia got us rebooked to here and on arrival, we were upgraded to suites. Really enjoyed a nice dinner and drinks at the saloon.
