It is old, but the location was breathtaking. Rooms were very small but clean. The morning coffee on the mezzanine was put out late for people starting the day early. The restaurant and the restaurant staff were incredible.

Elegant old hotel right on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon - location could not have been better. The hotel - while historic and well-maintained - has smaller rooms than might be expected by many today, but was charming and well worth it to step outside the hotel porch and be right by the amazing views of the Grand Canyon

The location was great with plenty of parking. You must have a Prickly Pear Margaretia on the outside porch. The restaurant portions were large, so you get what you pay for.
