South Rim hotel rooms a the Independent

"The check in was quick and smooth, the staff was very friendly, and the room was great. What really stands out is how pet friendly this lodge is. You are surrounded by trees, the room has wood floors and a large crate, and you can eat with your pet at the tavern patio. No doubt, I will be back."

"Front desk very attentive."

"The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was professional and friendly. Had a nice dinner at the Steak Saloon and parking was very convenient."

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was spotless and the stay was perfect."

"The room was large and spacious and so was the bathroom/shower. However the bathroom door did not have a lock. There was exceptional service from the front desk. They had ice age playing in the indoor pool and upon arrival they had fireplaces going outside and free smores which was the cutest. I am definitely coming back. "

"Views and gracious staff members"

"Authenticity and location. Cabin was perfect and staff was great. Location location location! "

"We selected a partial canyon view room with two queen beds at Kachina Lodge. The view from the room was spectacular and the room itself was very clean and comfortable. Kachina is literally steps from the canyon and trails. The check-in and out at El Tovar was easy. We ate dinner within the lounge at El Tovar and breakfast in the El Tovar restaurant - both were delicious. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!"

"Room was very clean and comfortable. Photo of the restaurant buffet-like serving line is misleading, because such a restaurant feature wasn’t open for patrons; menu ordering only. Nonetheless, the food was tasty just not buffet style nor the choices one would expect from a restaurant showing a photo of a buffet serving line. Hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and Grand Canyon National Park entrance."
