I was afraid of this location due to some bad reviews, but this was to our opinion not needed. The rooms are big, and yes maybe some modernisation is needed, but it offers an affordable stay at a great location near Grand Canyon National Park. But what realy overjoyed us was the restaurant. Such great and lovely people who wants you to have a great and delicious meal. Also the breakfast was super. We will not hesitate to come back during a next occasion.

Bathrooms might need some modernisation, and the check-in with the video chat abroad is awkward, but in the end, all worked out fine.

I stayed in a room with two queen beds, and it was quite spacious. Both the room and bathroom were clean, which I really appreciated. The room also comes with both a heater and AC, making it comfortable in any season. One of the best things about this place is its proximity to the Grand Canyon South Rim—just a 30-minute drive, which is amazing for the price. Late check-in is super convenient with the self-service kiosk. Another highlight is the great breakfast food truck at the gas station right next door—definitely worth trying! I’d highly recommend this spot to budget travelers looking for a clean and convenient stay near the Grand Canyon.

We stayed only one night before going to the Grand Canyon, but the room was a lot better than we expected. The wooden decoration was charming and gave the room a really nice vibe. It was clean and very organized. It also had a mini-fridge and coffee maker, which were essential for us. Also, the price was really good for the location!

The shower could be better. The faucet didn't close well when trying to redirect the water from the bath to the shower, so it went halfway to the bath and half to the shower, which made the shower bad. For only one night was ok, so we didn't try changing rooms.

Great location to GCNP, just the perfect amount of distance away from the park and away from the overly touristy areas. The motel had a Route 66 era vibe which made it fun, and a little park across the street (Bedford/Raptor park), and some antique cars parked outside. The room itself was standard, could have had some updating, but it honestly matched the price point. Beds and linens very comfortable, staff exceptionally aimable. I would start there again!

A breakfast option would have been great for hotel guests as the restaurant was a little pricer than others in the area. I was unable to connect to wifi but made due with my phone’s network connection.

When I arrived, there was no one at the Lobby check-in desk. However, they have an excellent self-check-in kiosk in the entrance area. It was quite easy to check-in. I did not find the restaurant open in the mornings so was not able to try it out. They do provide coffee and a microwave in the lobby area. I stayed in the Annex, which is across the street and down a bit from the main hotel. The bunkhouse rooms are tiny, but very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. I used to always stay in Tusayan, but the hotel I have stayed at many times was triple the price from my last visit (a long time ago). The rooms were clean and well-supplied with the essentials. It was very quiet, and the sky was dark due to few lights to interfere with stargazing.

The heater in my friend's room was not working well, but they provided a small heater which worked pretty well.

I love the decoration and the room size; it’s very spacious. The parking area is a little dark at night (I’m really afraid of ghosts), but it was okay because I was with my husband. The bed and towels were very clean, and the room had a pleasant smell. I originally booked the campsite for two nights; it's a 15-minute drive to the park, but it was so cold the first night because my sleeping bag wasn't thick enough. The next morning, I used my phone to search for a hotel for the second night, and I was lucky to find this great hotel, just 30 minutes from the park, at an excellent price. I’m really happy with my stay, and I will definitely return when I visit the Grand Canyon again — I won’t be booking a campsite anymore. Thanks so much, Grand Canyon Inn!

Nothing.

The staff were wonderful and we really enjoyed the restaurant and cantina! Everything was very reasonably priced. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot. The in room furnace worked very well! The rooms are what you'd expect for a roadside hotel. Not newly remodeled, but they got the job done. The beds were clean, but the bathroom floor corners could be a little better. We felt very safe there and were never concerned about our vehicle. I recommend checking them out!

We enjoyed our stay and didn't have issues, but the wood post beds do sit low to the ground. That could pose an issue for someone with mobility issues.

The room was clean; the mattresses were good and linens and towels were in good condition. The water pressure in the shower was good; the shower worked well and was easy to operate. The room had a small coffee maker and a small refrigerator. There was no closet and only a few hangers; there was a dresser, a table with 2 chairs, and plenty of floor space. There was only one window, opposite the door. The heater/fan/thermostat worked well. One electrical outlet between the beds, another with several outlets near the refrigerator. No USB outlets. We were on the first floor and could clearly hear people walking in the room above us, but otherwise the room was quiet. The room was comfortable, and the location about 20 minutes south of Tusayan and the Grand Canyon South Rim entrance was convenient. This was a great budget location for our trip to the South Rim.

The restaurant is understaffed. They couldn't handle the number of people there when we ate there on a Monday night. The staff were all friendly and doing their best, but food was delayed and orders were mixed up. Either plan on extra time and some patience if you need to eat here, or get food in Williams or Tusayan. There are only a few channels on the TV. The room is not serviced every day: you won't get clean linens, and you have to ask for more coffee at the front desk. We were in the park all day and only at the hotel to sleep at night, so this was totally fine for us.

Great location, about 20 minutes drive to the Grand Canyon entrance. Restaurant on site with food and drinks available, quite convenient. Super freiendly staff. Spacious room and very clean!

It's a bit dated, the toilet stopped working for a moment (tank not holding water, wouldn't flush), luckily we were able to fix it on our own. The ice machines never worked (in fact, I think they are turned off the whole time when we stayed there). We had to walk to the restaurant part of the motel (which is a completely different building) to get ice. No elevator, thought there are only 2 floors, we had to carry all of our luggages by stairs.

During my trip to the Grand Canyon, I opted for a more budget-friendly stay just outside the park and chose the Grand Canyon Inn and Motel. This place exceeded my expectations in so many ways! Although it’s technically a motel, it felt much more special. The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable with fresh linens, and it offered a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The only thing to note is that the pillows were High Loft, my boyfriend and I prefer the low to Mid Loft. One of the highlights was the on-site restaurant, where you can enjoy all your meals. The food was delicious, and the staff made us feel truly at home — like we were part of a family. The check-in process was seamless and modern, done via an online kiosk with live agent support, which added a nice, hassle-free touch to the experience. Additionally, the motel features a charming pub-style bar, perfect for unwinding and socializing with fellow travelers. Overall, I loved the unique vibe and relaxed atmosphere of the Grand Canyon Inn and Motel. It was honestly more enjoyable than a typical hotel stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, welcoming place near the Grand Canyon.
