The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, although they have been used for a long time. The beds were full size instead of queen size. The location is perfect for visiting the Grand Canyon, with a beautiful setting but on the expensive side. The dining options were reasonable, but some were over $20 for a limited selection of food.

The hotel rooms were small but clean and fancier than I expected, though they were distant from the front desk and elevators. The service was a mix of excellent and borderline rude encounters. The location was convenient, minutes away from the main gate of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The dining experience was reasonably priced and generally good, except for a less satisfactory night. Overall, a hotel with positives and negatives to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were huge and nice, providing a comfortable and clean environment, but unfortunately, they lacked windows with an outside view. The service was efficient and pleasant despite being busy. However, the absence of room service was a downside. The location, while not ideal, was decent, being around a 15-minute drive from the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The dining options were a bit overpriced, taking away from the overall value for money.
