The El Tovar restaurant food was superb and very well priced. The bus routes throughout the park was excellent to see all the photo shot opportunities of the canyon as well as the hiking trails.

El Tovar is beautiful and the staff are above and beyond kind and helpful (across the board, everyone we interacted with) but you are paying for the location not the quality of the lodging. The views are stunning, the location is perfect but it's also clear that the building hasn't been updated in decades.

Elegant old hotel right on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon - location could not have been better. The hotel - while historic and well-maintained - has smaller rooms than might be expected by many today, but was charming and well worth it to step outside the hotel porch and be right by the amazing views of the Grand Canyon

The location was great with plenty of parking. You must have a Prickly Pear Margaretia on the outside porch. The restaurant portions were large, so you get what you pay for.
