The location is near the park entrance. The hotel includes two pools and hot tubs, one indoor and one outdoor. The rooms have clothes lines and heat lamps to dry swimsuits in the bathroom.

The soundproofing could be improved (i heard some noise from the hallway).

mixed experience near grand canyon

thin wallsnoisy ice machine

The room i was assigned seemed to have thin walls. I could hear everything from the hallway. also, the ice machine near my room was quite noisy. it disrupted my sleep, so i had to use earplugs. the breakfast service was strange. Staff brought drinks slowly, often after i had finished eating.

Convenient stay near the canyon

comfy bedsspacious bathroomstocked cooler

the room provided privacy and facilities for our party of three.. comfy beds and spacious bathrooms with plenty of mirror space made getting ready easy. it was great to have laundry facilities, as we were on a road trip.. the coffee and tea facilities in the lobby were useful too.

the hype seemed a little exaggerated.. i didn't see the nighttime smores, or "boxed lunches", and the ice cream cooler wasn't stocked. the food onsite was mediocre, but the amenities made up for it i guess..

Location

9/10

the hotel sits just outside the Grand Canyon National Park, a definite advantage for early access. parking right outside our room door made things convenient. it allowed us quick returns after long days of exploring..
