This place dates from 1910 or so. We got one of the old and totally refurbished rooms all done in period style. View of the canyon from the patio bar or the inside bar. You are fifteen steps from the rim railing. This is the historic hotel at the end of the rail line from Williams. Nothing better than rubbing elbows with the ghosts of America’s historical leaders and legends.

Slightly disappointed in the size of the room. There was a pubic hair on the floor in the bathroom. The dining options were mediocre at best. With that being said the view was spectacular! Our access to the canyon view, which is ultimately what we came for, was very convenient. Overall very happy because we got what we came for.

The hotel is in a magnificent location with commanding views of the Grand Canyon. The owners have failed to invest in maintaining the property, whilst enjoying the high prices people are prepared to pay for staying in such a desirable location. The accommodation standard is that of a cheap motel you stay in as a student or out of desperation- 1950s decor with air-conditioning dated from about the same time-- so noisy, sleep was impossible. Booked for 2 nights but could only stand to stay 1 night. Was supposed to be the highlight of a 2 week holiday but was a heartbreaking disappointment.
