The Historical Hotel is amazing. The room was spotless. There is no elevator so expect to carry your luggage or have the bellmen assist…remember it was built in 1905. The location and views are unmatched

Very dirty, bad service, restaurant service was horrible, but food was ok. There is only 3 hotels there that is why they don’t care about service. I would recommend get to Grand Canyon very early do your activities & leave at night & stay somewhere else.

Room was tiny. Food horrible. Had to send 2 meals back to the kitchen. Breakfast eggs are powdered. Everything way overcooked and sauce on everything. Probably to mask the overcooked chicken fish etc. prices are not worth what you are given. Skip this place.

Yes it was spotless!! And both the dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were incredible! Homemade red raspberry vinaigrette on the salad for dinner and a huge cinnamon roll for breakfast with views that aren’t obtainable unless your inside the park:) Absolutely breathtaking.

This is a very old hotel. The bathroom was minuscule. No counter space, just a pedestal sink. No closet in the bedroom, just an armoire with a small space for hanging things. Very noisy. Creaky floors, no soundproofing between rooms or hallway noise. Kids upstairs were jumping and pounding on the floor most of our stay.Morning coffee was a carafe that was empty.
