Worst hotel on our trip. Terrible to find parking. Worst of all was the sink back up with sewage and basically exploded on my bathroom bad the walls and my shoes. We were in the queen suite. They had none available to move us too. At midnight called and moved us to a smaller double bed room 3 buildings away. They said they would adjust our room price due to it being a cheaper room and breakfast in the morning on them and talk to the supervisor for further compensation. We also had to wake up kids who were crying and walk them the 3 buildings in the cold due to no parking. Next morning my husband talked to supervisor. They said they had not figured out a full resolution but go to Grand Canyon national park and would have one when we got back. Spoke to them after we got back said they gave us $50 off the room and free buffet breakfast. Explained we booked in advance and the $50 off was not a comp considering when I booked rates were cheaper and each night should be $50 off as the room was a basic room when before we had the suite. Then they said they gave us one free breakfast which was buffet no better than the buffet breakfast most hotels offer for free and in reality cost them no more if we had not ate. Could of at least offered the rest of the stay considering I had to clean my shoes bathroom bag ect…. I was very upset and went down. They suddenly had another room available like our original room. My husband though was upset because it was not offered when he spoke to them 15 min before. He also asked if he could check out for the evening since the compensation was not satisfying to us however they told us we could but would take a charge of half for the night, even though if they had told us that morning there would be no further compensation we would have. Felt as though they forced us into a situation only beneficial to them. Next morning my husband spoke to supervisor and they said they already compensated us for issues by breakfast and 50 off again he explained when we booked the room was much cheaper and the rate we were paying for a 2 double bed room now was the original rate we had payed for the queen suite. Also I noticed mold around the bath which I have seen in cheap motels not rooms that are 200-300 a night. We felt they should of at least honored pricing based when we booked rather than walk in rate as even with the 50 off for the entire stay it still was more than pricing when we booked and only save us $25 a night off of our original booking which was a queen suite not the much smaller room. They could of also comped us their buffet breakfast for 2 days at least. Ok hotel if u don’t mind searching for parking and don’t have anything go wrong but pricing is too high personally. Breakfast is no better than days inn or any of the cheaper hotel chains. Dinner in the restaurant was overpriced and not so great. Prime rib lacked flavor and I swear the mashed potatoes tasted like instant. Definitely not worth 38.…

Only thing positive about this place is the location. It is just minutes from the entrance to Grand Canyon South Rim. Extremely dated, old and musty. The heat and air conditioner is about 50 yrs old. Blows at the bed and makes horrible ticking noise. Flooring is questionable - I kept my socks on all night. No value - very pricey for what you get. Would not recommend and will never stay there again. They are preying on customers looking to stay close to Grand Canyon.

I'm typing this sleepless and stressed after finding live bedbugs in our room (#128) at midnight tonight. We've already stayed a day and a night in the room so all of our things are potentially contaminated. All of them. I immediately alerted the front desk, who offered a new room, but didn't call a manager to the premises. Then they told us we can't even use the laundry room to at least try to start cleaning our things until morning. We will have to launder every single thing we brought with us, throw away our luggage and buy new pieces, and have our car steam cleaned (as we've ridden in it and put bags from our room in it during our stay here). This will take us at least an entire extra day, one we've lost from our trip, not to mention the loss of sleep. Never again.

Updated 11/28/22: the Coconino Health and Human Services visited our property today for a 'random' inspection. They have requested to check room #128 specifically, including the rooms on both sides, and the room you were moved to. After an extensive inspection, we are pleased to announce, NO bedbugs were found. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* Dear Jordan, we take the bed bug issue seriously. When you called at midnight, our staff on duty immediately offered a room move, but the laundry was already closed. In the morning, you showed our manager some images and a very small bug you found. Our housekeeping was called, they thoroughly inspected both of the mattresses, and the headboards were taken down. We can confidently say, there were "no bed bugs" or any signs of them being in this room. Thank you.

Worst hotel and customer service ever!! Go anywhere else but here! The shower did not drain and they wouldn’t do anything about it… it was gross! The manager was terrible and would t call back and acted like it was the first time they heard about it every time we called telling the about our situation. HORRIBLE go anywhere but here!

Thank you for taking time to leave a review from your stay with us several months ago. With the passing of time, it makes it more difficult to pinpoint the issues you raise. We apologize for the issues you wrote about and for not meeting your expectations. we are constantly going through our rooms maintaining check lists for the type of item you mention. We rarely see this comment, however again, we apologize. We are not certain who you are referring to as the "Manager" - we do have several. Again we apologize for any misunderstanding. We wish you well with your future travels.

We were very happy with our room.it was clean and convenient to our vehicle. The whole property was well maintained. And the hot tub outside our door was a bonus. Great location close to food and a short drive to the Grand Canyon. We would highly recommend staying here.

The hotel location and facilities excellent . HOWEVER: ice machines not working on 2 floors. Breakfast buffet completely a rip off and not at all tasty or interesting! Will not stay there again . Nearby McDonald’s, pizza/pasta, steakhouses ….the MOST expensive in USA . Spa jacuzzi nice .

Greetings, We appreciate your taking time to leave a review from your recent stay with us. and the kind words about the hotel facilities and location. We apologize for the issue with the Ice Machine and we were disappointed to read your comment about breakfast. It is true that many of the eateries here at the canyon are expensive. This is similar to the other National Parks and destinations that have a much shorter season than the average destination. I would beg to differ about these being the most expensive in the USA. We are disappointed we did not meet your expectations. We wish you well for safe, happy travels moving forward.

We were lucky to stop by this hotel as part of our honeymoon trip. Although we only stayed for one night to visit the Grand Canyon. Room was huge and extremely clean, superconfy beds excellent to rest after a long drive and prepare for a whole day visiting Grand canyon. Steve (reception supervisor) assisted us really well on arrival, he is a pro!! Really really nice. Also Rich gave us extremely useful information to visit grand canyon in only one day (of course there is much much more to see but he really help us to see the highlights of the park) thanks to him we discover the south kaibab trailhead .. really doable in one day and simply amazing. On top of everything he send us an email with lots of nice spots to stop after our Grand Canyon stop. Thanks a lot!!! "There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t yet met” W.B. Yeats 🫶…
