This hotel is amazing! Ask for a room with a view of the beach! Super awesome service there. The tapioca part of the breakfast are also delicious.

Historic hotel. Book 1 year In Advance. Breakfast in dining room by window is lovely. Sip coffee on porch in rocking chair facing canyon. Rooms too pricey for lack of restoration done on inside.

If you show up and they are sold out ask if Parks and Rec has released the presidential suite. If they haven't, give the desk your name and ask them to call you when they do... Which will be about 6p.

One of the park system's best hotels. The restaurant is a bit snobby. One evening all I wanted was dessert and was turned away because I did not have a reservation. The restaurant was empty.

if you are without children on your train ride up but just spent 2.5 hours on a train with everyone else's kids, this is a great place to decompress and have a drink before seeing the sights!

Food and environment are fabulous. Enjoy the rocking chairs on the porch or a drink on the vernanda.

Make dinner reservations early, it can be hard to get in at the last minute. Also, ask for a table in Ned's area -- by far the best service I've ever had in a restaurant.

The expresso rubbed black angus filet mignon was out of this world! You have to try this!

Rooms are quite small and lack some basic amenities but the view of the canyon makes up for it!
