Disliked: Amenities
Historic atmosphere, but disappointing comfort and food. The hotel has undeniable charm, with an iconic historic atmosphere and friendly, professional staff. However, the experience is severely undermined by several issues: – The restaurant is a disaster: food is poorly cooked, extremely overpriced, and no menu or pricing is visible before entering. Definitely not up to the expectations of an establishment of this level. – Rooms are outdated and unacceptably noisy, especially due to the old air conditioning system, which makes sleeping difficult. One night might be tolerable for the location and view — more than that becomes a struggle.

Would have given it a five but for the air conditioner, The property was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. The air conditioner was really loud, and I mean, really loud. It was hard to sleep with it on. We had to turn the temperature up close to 80 at night so that it wouldn’t turn on or at least turn on very little because when it did turn on the rumbling that it made kicking on was incredibly loud. It woke both of us up. But for that air conditioner, we would’ve had amazing sleep. The restaurant was absolutely wonderful! Breakfast was superb! Dinner was amazing! Our room was very clean. The bathroom with its fresh towels was wonderful.

Even though the properties location is great, there were other lodge nearby in the park that were also walking distance from trails and such. We were also looking forward to our reservations at the restaurant on the premises but this was very far from “fine dining”. Not only did we not finish our dinner, unfortunately was not worth the save. Overall a good experience because we made it but the hype is not necessary. (Can’t say it’s worth the price they charge.)

We loved the exclusive feel of this location with its rich history and complete uniqueness. The views are second to none. The wildlife around the hotel early in the morning added to the awesomeness of this place. We only had to minor complaints the 1st being coffee. Many people were up early (5am), and we were all looking for coffee that would not come out until 6am. The second complaint was the TV. After a long day of walking/hiking/exploring we just wanted to lay down and watch something. The channels were very limited and all had poor reception resulting in a fuzzy screen.

Great property location, right on the south rim. A/C extremely loud, while we weren't there to watch TV, you could only see it from one chair in the room, not facing the bed, really couldn't relax and watch it. No elevator so if on upper floors you walk the steps.
