El Tobar was a gem. If you are going to spend time in the Grand Canyon, be sure to reserve the hotel and the restaurant for your stay here. You literally are at the rim of the canyon so you can enjoy sunrise, sunset and everything in between especially the evening sky. Plus you get an excellent restaurant with Gorgeous views and very rustic setting and excellent food. The staff was second to none between recommendations for where to visit in the park and enjoying some really classic drinks and food they were the friendliest and most accommodating staff I've met in a hotel in a long time

Great experience, a privilege to stay at El Tovar. Very Friendly and helpful staff at the front desk, the clerk smiled and greeted us, (you do not see that very often anymore). Beautiful place, very well kept. The AC is a bit loud, but after doing Rim to Rim it was ignored easily. Thank you.

The food is good but served colder than it should be. The property is a mass carpets are filthy. It needs a complete upgrade inside and out. The only reason to stay here is because it's on the canyon rim.

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!
