The hotel is conveniently located close to the Grand Canyon South Rim. They placed us in a suite in the hotel annex area which didn't have much parking. The room was clean but the layout and furniture wasn't very good. The bed was comfortable. Also the front desk clerk mentioned if the annex breakfast area was packed to walk over to the main building...NOT.
Positives: Close to the Grand Canyon South Rim entrance.
Negatives: We were given a suite in the hotel annex building which didn't have the nice appearance as the main hotel.

The hotel was friendly, quiet & included breakfast.
Positives: The free breakfast was a bonus & offered a lot of choices.
Negatives: The price, a little high.

The personnel was friendly, rooms were clean, breakfast offered a variety for every appetite, beds were very comfortable, will come back on next trip to Grand canyon. A laundromat would have helped us for the days we were on the road and at the Canyon. Nearest one was inside the Canyon area. Not convenient.
Positives: Very clean, good breakfast, and friendly.
Negatives: Everything was fine.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 15 Mar 2010 rated 7 out of 10.
Lobby area was clean and nice, not a representation of the rooms. The rooms seemed outdated and slightly overused-not quite as clean as I would have liked. The staff when I first arrived seemed a little short with me, they were busy, but I felt like I'm a paying customer just like the others. The breakfast was amazing - great variety and plenty of food for a large crowd. I would recommend the hotel and Priceline to anyone traveling in the area!
Positives: Great location close to the Grand Canyon park entrance.
Negatives: Rooms need updating, check in staff could be friendlier.

Overall experience was very nice. We used all the facilities including the swimming pool. The continental breakfast was one of the best I ever had. Only negative was the air conditioner was insufficient would not cool the room down and was so noisy during the night we could not sleep.
Positives: Great location to the grand canyon.
Negatives: The air conditioner unit was very poor.

Decent hotel. Rooms were adequate. Price was expensive due to convenient location (only a couple miles from gate). Breakfast room was crammed so we ended up taking our breakfast to our room or outside.

Negatives: Fairly expensive.

I enjoyed the hotel very much. The animal wildlife such as elk running around in the road scared me to death, but my family made it to and from without hitting any animals, thank God! I loved Grand Canyon when I was a kid and still do. A must experience for all families, and the hotel is in just the right spot to visit the south rim. Very ample parking and the room was very comfy.
Positives: Great location for grand canyon south rim visit.
Negatives: Warning don't map quest directions, they aren't correct.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 15 Aug 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Negatives: Worn out furniture in suite area; small bathroom for suite.

A great experience overall. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The room wasn't very romantic (my wife and I were on our honeymoon). Corral gunfight on the walls. The major downside was that their DSL wasn't working. However, the free and tasty continental breakfast made up for everything.
Positives: Excellent location and continental breakfast, decent room.
Negatives: A little old looking, outside door locks malfunction.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 16 Feb 2007 rated 9 out of 10.
Was a great overnight gateway stay before grand canyon visit? It is just a few miles from the gate.
Positives: Was clean. Gave us a great off season price. Great response when contacted about a lost item.
Negatives: Emphasized no pets/had to sign that we can be responsible for damages if any pet hair found in the room for several weeks..

We were greeted by a friendly & quick staff. The room was large and comfortable with new bedding. The pool area was kept up well. The breakfast has many great choices which is good for families but the breakfast room was a bit crowded during tourist season. So close to the park that we drove 15 minutes back just to see the sunset over the Grand Canyon. I would definitely stay again.
Positives: Clean comfortable beds, friendly service, nice breakfast choices, convienent to Grand Canyon Park
Negatives: Crowded breakfast room
