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.

The view of the Grand Cayon from the hotel was spectacular. We liked how close the hotel was to the cannon, and there is a wonderful porch to set on and rest if you want to. We stayed in Williams and rode the Railroad Hotel train to the Grand Cayon. The Hotel picked up and transfered our luggage to the El Tovar. That was a seamless operation. Our luggage was in our room when we arrived. Things we found difficult: The rooms were small and not worth the price we paid. Also, if you are older and need an elevator, there is not one available. There are no public bathroom on the main floor.

Mythique mais surtout miteux
L’hotel est dans son jus, c’est peu de le dire! La chambre donnait sur le parking, au rsc, les fenêtres sont sales et difficiles à ouvrir. Il y avait des boissons entamées des personnes avant nous encore dans le frigo, et malgré le fait de l’avoir reporté à la réception personne n’est venu nettoyer. Le restaurant est bon mais franchement cher et les serveurs du petit déjeuner sont des jeunes qui n’ont clairement pas envie d’être là et on les comprend. Cet hotel jouit dans emplacement de choix mais à de sérieux problèmes de propreté (odeur des moquettes en arrivant dans le hall d’entrée lunaire) Il a probablement eu son heure de gloire mais il est grand temps de le fermer pour un bon coup de frais afin de retrouver de sa superbe. Good luck!

Caring Service: Joel at at the front desk and his manager made our trip an absolute pleasure. We booked last-minute reservations from an outside vendor and it put a lot of pressure on those guys to find us two consecutive nights in the same room. They went the extra mile and helped us to get an upgrade for a bit extra to a better room. The extra money was worth it. They had no reason to jump through hoops - except the desire to help a traveler out. Our servers at dinner showed a love for the hotel & its history. Note: When booking, keep in mind that you are booking a historic hotel in a AMAZING location that is seeking to keep its historic feel & authenticity. It’s NOT a brand new luxury hotel with huge bathrooms & the latest amenities…. If you need that look elsewhere. If you value history & location you will be pleased beyond measure.

It was perfect. Able to see the Grand Canyon outside our room window and just a few steps from the front door. All of the staff that we encountered were pleasant and appeared to enjoy their jobs and worked as a team. We ate in the dinning room and it was excellent. The food was superb and the stay easily worked with one another.

I have stayed at the El Tovar a handful of times over the last 20 years. It is an iconic hotel on a priviliged location. All is good, but they are letting it get a little run down. This is particularly true of the dinning areas, They use to serve world class dinners with matching service. Not so much any more.

We loved our stay at El Tovar! It is hard to beat the convenience of this stunning location. We really enjoyed our experience over our two-day stay. Lunch in the lounge was just what we needed, and the staff members throughout the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful.

This hotel was in a perfect location! We have watched the National Lampoon’s Vacation movie so many times and have always thought it would be fun to stay here and it was outstanding! The room was great and it was so wonderful to literally walk out of the hotel and be standing at the Grand Canyon! Highly recommend!
