Amazing property right on the Rim Trail of the Grand Canyon. Comfortable beds, clean and tidy. Parking is difficult - no dedicated parking sports so you have to take your chances of finding a spot on the public roads along with the thousands of other visitors.

Grand surprise

I had no idea when booking that a "partial view" meant being right on the canyon rim with a tree or two in the way. We had an ADA room that was perfect, with its own sidewalk to the room (no steps) and the bathroom was spacious. Two chairs so we could look out the window from inside or sit on our little entry patio.

Nice comfortable room

We were comfortable in the room. A microwave would be a nice addition in the room or in the building.

The location of the property was fantastic! We were just steps away from the Grand Canyon and even had a great view from our room. The downside was the size of the room and that it was a little outdated. The shower was a challenge for my husband and daughter, who are tall. Otherwise, we enjoyed our time there.
