The view is incredible and the location is convenient to other amenities however, it is very confusing to find parking and the room is somewhat outdated

We stayed the night to get an early start in the Bright Angel Trail. The room was spacious clean and comfortable. The proximity to our hike was excellent. Good place great people.
Jeffery, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Parking isn’t ideal but worth the hassle since it is within steps from the canyon rim. Everything you need amenity wise is close by either in the lodge or next door
Meghan, 1-night trip

Nice comfortable room

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

10/10 Exceptional

The location of the property to views of the canyon, even partial view was excellent for the price. Well worth it. There was a bus stop in front of the property so it was convenient to get around the town to all the best overlooks. Thank you!

Joyce, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our two queen bed room had the most wonderful view of the canyon. We awoke very morning to a a beautiful view. The room is nothing fancy but was clean with coffee in the room. This is one of the best spots to sleep in the park.

Historic accommodations near the canyon.
Douglas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

location is amazing, it's an older property with few amenities and certainly not cheap, but being right on the rim of the grand canyon made it worth it for us, the trailhead for Bright Angel trail is just steps away, super convenient
Yelena, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's very comfortable to stay in.
Hiroki, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location for grand canyon view, my sunrise photos are fantastic.

10/10 Exceptional

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 The downside was the size of the room and that it was a little outdated.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.
