The checking was excellent. We had a room on the first floor. The particular room we had was very small. Not much room in the space when you add your luggage. I don't recall seeing that the room was small with a full bed. But the room was excellent otherwise. The restaurants onsite and near by we defiantly upscale. The service was impeccable throughout the entire stay.

Everything was perfect except two. -A Bar tab was made and charged to our room, which was not our purchase. -We did have a mouse visit our room on one night. Definitely a gorgeous Lodge with beautiful common spaces to relax. Comfortable with a feeling of warm hospitality. Loved staying at El Tovar.

Historic is different than old, basic or ugly. The common areas are nice, lobby and restaurant give the right historic, rich vibe , but once you get to the rooms you feel like 3rd class citizen. Ugly, small, basic and uncomfortable bedroom. Worst, the amount of money you pay for it. Do not fall for the historic Dinner at the restaurant was good.
