Ok
Check in was good but not very informative. Beds were worn with dips in the mattress. Restaurant was overpriced for the food provided. Lounge was nice. Location was perfect. Refrigerator in room but no microwave. Hair on the bathroom floor.

Not the best room in the house
Room was not good. Overlooking service truck parking and 5 am delivery/garbage service with accompanying vehicle back up alarms and headlights shining in the windows. Small room. Tight bathroom. Good for a single occupant, not a couple. Very expensive ! Room was assigned by hotels dot com. I recommend booking by the El Tovar folks instead

In would not recommend
Not at all what we had hoped for. Our view consisted of a parking lot, not the Canyon. Extremely disappointing. Don’t get me started on the restaurant availability.

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.

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
