Make that trip to the Grand Canyon a bit special
Amazing. Great friendly check in and service. Food and service in the lounge was great. Breakfast in the restaurant warmed us after an early outing to see the sunrise. Real fires in thr lobbys and restaurant really added to tte atmosphere.

4/10 Fair

El Tovar Heartbreak
Staying at El Tovar Hotel was a bucket list item for decades and booked a night Friday 11/15. Arrived at 11AM and asked if we could check in early. Digitally checked in and was told I would be called when room was ready, but no promise before 4PM. Had a magnificent lunch (no res) with server Jack in the dining room, Jack - 5 stars. Checked back at reception at 2, room still not ready. Shopped for gifts and waited. At 3:30 asked again and was told simply, yes, your room is ready. No call - no notification. Strike 1 but room was beautiful. Had dinner res for 5:30, arrived and seated promptly. Server was Paul who was awkward and aloof. Mike, the server one table over, was engaging and friendly with his tables. Food left wanting - my peppercorn crusted NY strip steak was literally coated in peppercorns yet the steak itself and demi-glaze were tasteless. 'Seasonal Veggies' were some carrots and snap pea pods that were chewy and inedible. $200 for 2 adults and 1 child - unimpressed. Strike 2 Worst to come. Slept in a little bit Sat morning and arrived at the dining room at 9:09AM. Was asked if I had a res, which I didn't because sleeping in and assumed breakfast on a Sat would be served later into the morning. Wrong assumption. At 9:09AM I was told they were only seating people who had res and no more. Astonished I went to talk to the manager who said they were short staff and not seating any more - dining room was 80% empty. Expressed disappointment and was told SORRY! Strike 3

Great experience, a privilege to stay at El Tovar. Very Friendly and helpful staff at the front desk, the clerk smiled and greeted us, (you do not see that very often anymore). Beautiful place, very well kept. The AC is a bit loud, but after doing Rim to Rim it was ignored easily. Thank you.

2/10 Poor

The food is good but served colder than it should be. The property is a mass carpets are filthy. It needs a complete upgrade inside and out. The only reason to stay here is because it's on the canyon rim.

This property needs a serious upgrade or just general maintenance would help. The plumbing doesn't work no hot water at certain times no water pressure paint feeling railings unpainted. Carpet needs to be replaced, filthy. Staff has a attitude of it's not my problem. Flies in the dining room windows not clean. Beds are horrible Uncomfortable. hard as a rock, old,stained & disgusting. Garbage cans with no liners in the rooms. Like making reservations for dinner is a complete nightmare, Is front desk stafthey have plenty of seating but their reservation system is inadequate. Reservation staff need to be Reviewed attitude attitude attitude attitude. The young staff members are very helpful however.

The hotel in a neat experience for the historical value and proximity to the canon. The rooms however are seriously lacking in size and appeal. Severely overpriced for what you get.
