Basic family room, a bit tired but clean. Room needed some updating but nice to be in the park and had pre-booked as the lodges sell out. Free shuttle bus service around the park from outside the reception/cafeteria building. Great for sunsets and rises. Had also prebooked El Tovar restaurant for dinner in advance and a helicopter ride tour of the canyon the following day.

We have a number of negative remarks: Very expensive for what you get in the lodge part. Only a small fridge and no micro oven. Coffee machine but only coffee for one person. Very long check in time. Luggage to bring using the stairs. Expensive restaurant, food OK but not super. Expensive breakfast in the restaurant. No internet in the rooms. Positive: Very friendly staff. Clean rooms. Close to the rim. Safe environment.

We stayed in one of the rustic cabins . It was acceptable and clean. Need a larger hot water heater. I guess the adjoining cabin uses same heater and there was no hot water for my shower. The place is beautiful nothing negative to add. I would definitely recommend anyone stay here

No Hot Water in the room, no coffee either...Be prepared!

Stayed in a Western Cabin 4 days before they closed for the 2023 season before our Rim-to-rim hike. The good news is that the cabin was clean, the beds comfortable, and there were no mice or other vermin that I detected. The bad news is that there was also NO HOT WATER. The instructions from the hotel ( written on the back of the check-in sheet ( see photo)) state that either tap could be the hot water tap and that you should run the water for 15" before calling the front desk- I ran both taps for 20" and nothing. When I called they said maintenance wouldn't be in until 6am ( we were out the door for out hike at 6:00am). I know that these are "historic cabins" - but is there some reason they couldn't label the taps - they MUST know which cabins have reversed taps! The other problem was there was a coffee maker ( keurig -type); but no coffee because the hotel had run out. This seems like whomever ordered the supplies didn't do a great job - they know how many rooms they have; near 100% occupancy, and they know how many days they are open- They shouldn't run out. They had also run out of most of the toiletries / tissue as well. I would 100% go again- because the location is phenomenal ( prefer the North Rim to the South by far!)- but I would be prepared - I would have all my own toiletries and I would bring my own coffee. I would aslo check the hot water situation first thing when I checked in!

Dream spot, wish we could have stayed longer.

Long story short I kept stalking the reservations page to upgrade from outside the park to a motel room at lodge, to a Western Cabin. So happy I snagged one (about 2 weeks before our trip!). The cabin itself was clean and comfy. Didn't see any evidence of mice others have reported. Our cabin 355 was possibly the closest to the parking lot but with a great porch view of sunrise (but admittedly you can't really see rim so we had walked the grounds for sunrise). Such a great porch that I do regret a bit that we hadn't stayed another hour or two later just sitting there enjoying the quiet nature of it. Dinner in lodge was wonderful and fast. I highly recommend the Supai Pablano Chicken! My husband enjoyed his ribeye. And a few beers at the rough rider saloon were also great. But even better was that they opened at 530 for coffee to grab to watch the sunrise from the gorgeous patio or close walkable viewpoints.
