Room was just ok. Our room (6486) was very small and had an odd smell. The mattress was not what would expect for $450 a night. Nonetheless, the location and ambience make this hotel iconic. If you plan a once in a lifetime trip to the Grand Canyon this is your place. Wish they would invest more in room quality. However, you are not staying there for the room.

The hotel sits on the edge of the grad Grand Canyon. Nothing can beat this. The food was very good. Staff were friendly. On the downside, the rooms and bathrooms are AWFUL. Stained carpet, beat up furniture, curtains … from the 1920s? The rooms a complete renovation and honestly if this hotel was anywhere else they wouldn’t be able to get away with charging $500/night - more like $50/night.

Staff was wonderful. The room itself was clean and comfortable *However!* The heater was appallingly loud. Unpleasant to have to choose between boisterous noise and cold room temperature throughout the night - both of which interrupt sleep. Not acceptable.

Everything was perfect except two. -A Bar tab was made and charged to our room, which was not our purchase. -We did have a mouse visit our room on one night. Definitely a gorgeous Lodge with beautiful common spaces to relax. Comfortable with a feeling of warm hospitality. Loved staying at El Tovar.

Great place to stay! Fabulous view of the canyon all around. Perfect for our adventure from the uk. Despite comments online about the restaurant being expensive we found it to be very reasonable compared to Vegas which was our first stop. Food was delicious too. Thanks to the El Tovar staff team. We loved it
