This is not a four star hotel. Maybe it was back in the 60s but I would solidly rate it a 2 star and I’ve had better 2 star hotels. we paid 450 a night for the privilege of sleeping in a double bed (instead of the queen we booked), with no toiletries, no change of towels or sheets or complimentary water, a sticky door, outdated furniture, the deafening sound of the fridge at night, the bandaid hanging from the ceiling, the shiny light of the fire alarm all through the night. The WiFi didn’t work (and the service at the park is bad, so you really need it). Just pay for any of the other lodges if you want to stay in the park. Their restaurant also has terrible service and pretty tragic food.

El Tovar is a treasure! It's a beautiful, historic property with a lot of charm. The rooms are quaint, but could use a renovation. The staff was wonderful. We had a couple hiccups during our stay, involving a broken heater and some very loud and obnoxious diners sitting next to us in the formal dining room. The staff were very kind and made the situations right. I will definitely come back!

I was very disappointed with the small drab room. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were the size of throw pillows, not pillows for sleeping. We couldn’t use the heater at night or when we were watching tv because it was EXTREMELY noisy. I called concierge and requested a blanket and they didn’t bring it for an hour after I had gone to bed. For the price El Tovar charges I was so disappointed!

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

Probably the best option to explore South Rim - you just can’t get any closer! The staff need to be a little more involved, but otherwise great stay.
