We stayed in a rim view room, first floor. Room is decent size (think Hampton inn size) but bathroom is very small- only 1 person at a time. The hotel overcomes this by offering multiple mirrors in room. Beds were comfortable. We really liked being near bright angel area.

The convenient in-the-park location and canyon overlook views are 5-star, but the “modern” property is dated. Very small bathrooms that appear to have seen decades of visitors. 1st floor room that we had was very loud due to the people staying above. Parking is very limited, so if you don’t get lucky or have patience to wait for a spot you’ll be walking (but you can still drop you stuff at the room while you’re stopped at one of the doors).
Note that check-in is at the main desk at the El Tovar hotel.
Three night stay...

No breakfast, no elevator, and parking near the hotel very difficult to find, if at all. Managed to find a spot at the hotel next door. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable and on the rustic side as so many of the National Parks hotels are. Internet only in the lobby of the hotel next door. I had a discounted price so I'm not sure I wold stay at the regular rate if it was cheaper in the town just to the south. The nice thing about this place was that only the guests staying here come into the building.

if you stay on the Canyon side. Otherwise you see a parking lot. Beautifully located at the edge of the Canyon, this is a great place to stay. Book Canyon side and try to get a room on the 2nd floor at check-in. This is 1960’s charm all the way but room have space for a family of four. The lodge has limited services but there is a bar, restaurant and shop at the hotel as well as at the Bright Angel lodge next door. Parking spots are limited and fill up fast during peak times.
Good service, good location, and great room!

There was a nice coffee machine in the room. Clean sheets and clean bathroom. Great layout and plenty of space in the room. Good toiletries as well. The lobby was nice and I was able to spend time on the computer in the lobby after my stay.
