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.
