Would have been "good" at a normal price but the room, room-service and lack of elevator was not up to par given the rather high cost. Tub needed maintenance but no big deal - room service (actually getting someone to answer) was not great, but the greatest weakness was a very loud heating unit. People were freindly however.

Travelled to El Tovar in early March with my wife. She uses a wheelchair, and rooms were limited as a result, but the side entrance is best for viewing the canyon and parking worked for us though it was 100 ft distant. Main issue disability wise is that the room has a tub and the shower chair provided was not robust. The staff was very receptive to any concerns.

We enjoyed our stay in the El Tovar hotel due to the beautiful location across from the canyon rim and also being able to stay in such a historic hotel. We stayed two nights in a first floor Deluxe King room (we called ahead to request the first floor as there are no elevators). The bed was comfortable, and the room good sized. We liked the additional storage shelves in the bathroom and also the soap, lotion shampoo and conditioner dispensers. We would highly recommend staying here and make sure you book in advance (we booked one year ahead of time).

We had a great experience at El Tovar! It’s a historic hotel, and it definitely has that classic, old-school charm—cozy fireplaces, lots of inviting furniture, and top-notch service that made us feel well taken care of. Our room was totally fine, but the real standout was breakfast at the restaurant. The service was amazing, and it was such a lovely way to start the day before heading out. And you really can’t beat the location—you just step outside, and boom, there’s the Grand Canyon. All in all, we loved it and would absolutely recommend staying here!
