Wows and Woes
Wow:
The homegrown casualness and the friendly service makes this place a great home away from home.
Woe:
This is not a full-service hotel, so the amenities are limited, including no room service for those last-second munchies after a long hike.
Insider Tips
The Cottage is a large 800-plus-square-foot house that can easily sleep four and is located right across from a national forest for a good morning hike.
Bottom Line
The Grand Canyon Hotel has rates as low as $25 for a dorm bed to $150 for a cottage and is worth checking out.
Author's Most Memorable Moment
The hotel is located right across from Kaibab National Forest. We borrowed some fishing poles from the hotel and went down to go fishing. It was a blast even though I was the worst fisherman, catching just two fish. We actually brought it back to the hotel and grilled it on the barbecue. Best fish I ever had.
