The hotel has a fantastic location, just a stone's throw from the Grand Canyon South Rim, which is why I chose to stay here. However, the rooms were a bit chilly and there was quite a bit of noise from the hallway, making it less than ideal. The service was great, especially with the staff offering helpful tips for exploring the area. While I found the dining options a bit on the pricier side, everything else was completely satisfactory for my adventure.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for visiting the Grand Canyon, being one of the closest hotels to the park. The staff was friendly and the indoor hot tub was a fantastic way to unwind after a long day of hiking. However, the room was a bit noisy with machine vibrations, and I had some issues with the pricing that I have to dispute. Overall, while it has great amenities, the noise and dining experience could be improved.
