I will be reviewing the Dining Room separately (which for us was 4 stars) Without the historical ambience and "right on the rim" location, I would probably have given it 2 stars... 1) Check in went horribly. Given when this was built, the only way to get from floor to floor is by stairs, and they are fairly steep. I knew this, and made sure to book a main floor room because my spouse has trouble negotiating stairs. When we got there, we were given a third floor room, and was told that we "did not book a main floor room".... I mentioned my wife's issue, and said I had called the hotel directly to make this known. When asked "who did you talk to?" and I told them I didn't know specifically (I had made it 2-3 months in advance), they "politely" told me I was making this all up. I asked how my spouse would get to the room and they basically shrugged - not their issue. I finally got someone who said they would get the luggage to the room, and help her negotiate the stairs (which of course still didn't solve the "ever leaving the room bit"). Luckily she still can climb stairs (what if she had been in a wheelchair?), and I walked with her each time we went upstairs or back down. 2) The rooms were about what I expected, small... of course you aren't going to stay there - it's the Grand Canyon! But it would have been nice to have enough hot water for a shower. 3) The front desk remembered us, and were reluctant to help us on where to go and what to do, with snide remarks of "but of course your wife can't do that" (when I'd made it clear it was just stairs, or large inclines that were a problem). Overall, the hotel was nice, but let's say not conducive to anyone with mobility issues. Still - bucket list item, and we did enjoy the stay overall. Just quite a few things brought the experience downward.

The lobby was extremely busy when we checked in, but they had plenty of staff at the concierge desk, so the process moved quickly and painlessly. There's no breakfast offered onsite, but they do provide discounts to several nearby restaurants, which was a nice perk. The location is perfect--just minutes from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Our room was clean, comfortable, and the toiletries provided were surprisingly good quality. We also appreciated being able to park right next to our room, which made unloading and reloading luggage super convenient. The only downsides were our curtains didn't fully close, so we had to improvise with a hair tie, MacGyver-style, to make sure we had complete privacy. There was also a family with a dog that barked a couple times during the night right next door (pets are welcome here). Other than those small issues, we had a great stay and would definitely consider staying here again.

Everything seems newly renovated and fresh. Our room is super cute--it's not huge, but it's definitely big enough. The bathroom is modern, clean, and updated, and the room was honestly spotless and much nicer than I expected. There is an elevator, although the buildings are only two stories. Maswik has two dining options: a food court that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus the Pizza Pub. We ate at the El Tovar Lounge last night, so we haven't tried either one yet, but they both looked good when we checked them out. There's also a really nice gift shop on site that has lots of souvenirs and serves really yummy fudge. Each room has a small balcony with chairs, which is a nice bonus, along with plenty of storage, a mini fridge, and an in-room coffee maker. Overall, we've been really impressed and would definitely stay here again.

A few observations about the property. It is spread out with several buildings on the property. Ample parking. You can find decent parking if you arrive early. Late comers, may have trouble finding parking close to the building they're assigned to. We ended up in bldg 7000 on the 2nd floor. Room was a 'premium' and well-appointed. Beds were very comfy and the pillows were fantastic! Overall, it was a great experience with two exceptions: First, the electrical outlets in the bathroom worked fine on day 1 and 2 but on day three neither one of them worked. Wasn't a problem for us. We just used outlets in the bedroom and reported the issue at check-out. Second and MOST IMPORTANT: There is a place near the front desk that offers 24/7 hot coffee, hot tea, water. However, there is NO DECAF coffer offered. For folks with heart conditions that cannot drink caffeine, this was disappointing. Likewise, there were no DECAF K-cups in the room---ONLY caffeinated coffee. Perhaps Holiday Inn isn't aware there are MANY folks with heart conditions such as Atrial Fibrillation that cannot or should not drink caffeine due to its stimulating effect on the heart. The only place offering DECAF was during breakfast (6:00-10:00AM). We noted many, many seniors as guests. You can believe many guests have heart conditions. Perhaps Holiday will take this into consideration and include DECAF at this station and in rooms. DECAF is no more expensive than caffeinated coffee. It was a wonderful visit with wonderful, accommodating staff. We will not hesitate to stay again or recommend it to friends, family!

We wanted to do some star gazing near the canyon and it was easy and close to drive back to the hotel at night. I liked their little daily Yusayan publication, which was fun to read and had some cool facts about the Grand Canyon. The con is that it's definitely dated. The hotel was originally built in 1965. We booked a King bed, but upon check in, there were no King beds left. To compensate, we were given an "updated room" with two queen beds. The shower drain was clogged and full of hair, yikes! There was also a $25 resort fee, which was a surprise on the bill, it was never mentioned. It would be nice to be able to opt out of this if you're not using the extra amenities. The breakfast buffet was $20/adult. It was average-nothing extraordinary.

You get so little for your money but it is all about having the canyon at your doorstep…read more Note: -NO designated parking for guests. You vie for a space with first come first serve -NO concierge. You must walk over to the neighboring Tovar Lodge to check in -NO over the phone confirmation of room status -NO restaurant except for neighboring lodges I knew the rooms were modest but it was no simple task being a "guest." I saw most parking spots open up around 9AM and around dinner time. Kachina has a parking area, but you easily miss it if you are not paying attention it is set off of Center Dr. The Village shuttle runs to most sights. Plan for a 20 minute ride to the visitor center. Coming back is a shorter ride due to less stops. Center Road runs in ONE direction so depending on your starting point, you sometimes have to loop around to where you once began to get to your next stop. Rim Trail is at your doorstep and Bright Angel is near the adjacent lodge. I would not have been able to do as many hikes and watch the sunset and sunrise if I were not staying at the lodge. I booked two months in advance to get the remaining room. The room is a bit stale as they have a unique ventilation system. El Tovar had more of traditional lodge sensibility, but no rooms were available for my time frame. You can opt for the canyon side rooms for an additional charge, but note there are some trees so it is a partial view. There is a lounge canyon side.

I visited in February 2025, and it happened to be windy and cold so definitely bundle up, bring gloves and wear your beanies! The service was quick and friendly. I suggest packing your own food especially if you have food allergies or food preferences due to their limited options. Parking is somewhat limited so plan accordingly. Another to be mindful of is to not feed the wildlife there because they're quick to imprint us as food providers. I say that because I noticed 2 crows who are getting too comfortable hanging around the area waiting for a quick meal.

Our room was approximately $150 per night and had a queen sized bed, a sink, a comfortable chair, and a bench at the end of our bed. The Powell Lodge is a single story building, with a narrow corridor with rooms on each side. Bathrooms and showers are shared. They were clean during our visit and we never had to wait. Our room had two nice windows and there is no AC here because the temperatures really don't get that high. Our room did include a fan, which we used and it kept the room comfortable. We found the lodge to be quiet at night and had no trouble sleeping. We loved being so close to the rim for such an affordable price. There is a shuttle stop right outside the lodge and there are also multiple restaurants and snack bars here. The view can't be beat and we would definitely stay here again.

Made reservations with El Tovar while staying at the Grand Canyon…read more Overall, our whole experience was below neutral. Online reservation was difficult. I would say that I made a reservation for 2 a month earlier and had to book earlier (5:30pm) than my desired time. A couple weeks later, we had another couple join our trip and revising the reservation was not possible so I booked another reservation (5:00pm) for 2 for the couple. I showed up at the restaurant 30 minutes prior to the first reservation and asked if it was possible to get a table for 4 for either time slot and was told by the host that it could not be done because they expected to be full. Understandable. When it was 5pm, the party of 4 arrived and I asked again if we could eat together with a new host to which she said yes. The restaurants dining is a large room and 80% of the room was empty. My party, along with 2-3 couples and a single diner were placed at the side of the room that didn't have the Grand Canyon to view. It made no sense to me because the establishment wasn't even full.. Chris was our server and he was alright. Food was overpriced and underwhelming. Our party ordered the ribeye special, elk bolognese, cheese tortellini, and strip steak that came out to $200+. Tortellini was extremely salty because of the salami. The bolognese noodles were overcooked spaghetti. Both steaks were requested medium well but ribeye was medium rare and strip was well done and tough. Even the house bread was dry. I was already expecting that the food wasn't going to be amazing but with the disappointment of not even being able to see the sunset was just icing on the cake. If I had the choice, I'd have a packed meal outside in the cold and save the money.

There are chef specials every meal and the prices are what I would expect in a high end restaurant. We were lucky enough to have pancakes for breakfast and buffalo and elk for dinner.
