The hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was great for accessing the Grand Canyon and the breakfast was outstanding, my overall experience was marred by room issues and a less than responsive concierge service. It was a decent place to stay for a night or two, but I wouldn't call it luxurious by any means.

Rooms
6.0
The room was spacious but felt a bit like a motel, without exterior windows. Despite having a fridge and microwave, it was quite warm and struggled to cool the whole space.
Service
5.0
While check-in was smooth, I found the concierge quite unfriendly and unhelpful when I needed assistance. This was disappointing, especially since I expected more communication.
Location

Being so close to the Grand Canyon was a huge plus for us, as it made visiting the park super easy. It was also convenient for local dining options.
Dining
8.0
I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast; it stood out as one of the best meals we've had on our trip. However, other dining experiences didn't meet expectations.
Facilities
6.0
The hotel had a nice hot tub, but other facilities seemed to need some repairs and attention. It felt a bit dated at times.
