“What stands out is the location right on the canyon rim, a real time-saver for park exploration, although the building's style is dated. The rooms have practical amenities like a fridge and coffeemaker, but the dining options are limited, so plan ahead. I think it's a solid choice if being close to the canyon is your priority.”
