Not at all what we had hoped for. Our view consisted of a parking lot, not the Canyon. Extremely disappointing. Don’t get me started on the restaurant availability.

For the price, too old rooms, very small tv, one thing is vintage but different thing is old, meaning not well maintained. Restaurant food takes too long to serve. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful historical hotel right on the south rim. Easy walk to Bright Angel Trail. Amazing views as we watched the sunrise colors against the canyon walls. Super friendly & helpful staff. Room was small but didn't spend much time in it anyways.
