Info Summary of reviewsThe Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel garners frequent praise from visitors primarily due to its exceptional location. Situated in Tusayan, just a short two to ten-minute drive from the South Rim entrance of the Grand Canyon National Park, the hotel serves as an excellent base for exploring the natural wonders of the area. Its proximity to local amenities, including restaurants, grocery stores and tourist attractions such as the IMAX theater, adds to its convenience, particularly for those on brief trips or multi-day visits geared toward maximizing their time at the park.

The dining experience at the hotel receives mixed reviews. Breakfast offerings are noted for their variety and quality with many enjoying the delicious dishes and friendly service. However, the cost of breakfast, which is not included in the room rate, has been a point of contention. Dinner experiences are similarly varied; while some enjoy the food and ambiance, others find it overpriced and lacking in quality. Despite these mixed reviews, the service is generally positively reviewed and the convenience of the on-site restaurant adds value.

The hotel's rooms are often lauded for their spaciousness, comfort and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the large, well-equipped rooms with comfortable beds and useful amenities, though some note that certain rooms appear outdated and could benefit from renovations. Despite these minor complaints, most guests find the rooms satisfactory and conducive to a restful stay.

Cleanliness is another strong point for the Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel. Rooms and common areas are typically described as spotless, contributing to a comfortable and pleasant experience. However, there are occasional reports of outdated furnishings and maintenance issues, suggesting that periodic updates and attention to detail could further enhance guest satisfaction.

Staff interactions receive predominantly positive feedback with numerous reviews highlighting their friendliness and helpfulness. Specific staff members, such as Suzie and Rich from the concierge team, are often mentioned for their exceptional service. While a few guests have had less favorable interactions, the majority appreciate the courteous and efficient staff.

WiFi connectivity at the hotel is a mix of good and bad experiences. While some guests report a strong and reliable connection, others encounter weak signals and difficulty connecting, particularly in their rooms. The complexity of the WiFi setup is another critique with some guests finding it challenging to navigate.

The hotel’s gym is basic with limited equipment and could benefit from improvements. Access to the gym is slightly inconvenient as it requires going outside. Nevertheless, the presence of a treadmill allows guests to maintain their fitness routines.

Pools at the Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel are well-regarded, featuring both indoor and outdoor options, including a heated pool and a relaxing indoor spa area. The cleanliness and maintenance of these areas are appreciated, although some guests note occasional noise and minor cleanliness issues.

Families find the hotel accommodating with adequate space in the rooms for a group of four and a warm family-friendly atmosphere. The indoor pool, garden and convenient shuttle bus to the Grand Canyon make it a particularly good choice for family stays.

In summary, the Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel offers an excellent location and generally high levels of comfort and cleanliness. The friendly staff and convenient amenities make it a pleasant choice for visitors. Though the breakfast and WiFi can be improvements areas, the overall value and proximity to the Grand Canyon make it a favored option for many travelers.

Info Summary of reviewsWander Camp Grand Canyon offers a unique off-grid accommodation experience that immerses guests in serene natural surroundings, approximately 30 minutes from the south entrance of the Grand Canyon. The picturesque and tranquil setting fosters a sense of peace and isolation from the hustle and bustle while still providing convenient access to nearby stores and gas stations.

Visitors praise the scenic beauty, exquisite sunsets, starry skies and helpful, friendly staff, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers and adventurers. The accommodation features beautifully decorated, spacious tents equipped with comfortable beds and essential furnishings. Despite a few maintenance issues like zippers and dust, the tents are generally well-organized and clean, enhancing the glamping experience.

The campsite offers a mixed experience concerning food services. Breakfast options are inconsistent but occasionally delightful with special mentions to the accommodating chef who prepares vegan meals. Dinner experiences are more hit-or-miss; guests rave about the tasty hamburgers, especially the peanut butter burger, but suffer from the unreliable availability of the on-site food truck. As a result, it is advisable to bring one's own food and make use of the offered barbecue facilities.

Cleanliness receives mixed reviews. While many guests appreciate the clean and well-maintained campsite, occasional complaints about dirty communal bathrooms and bedding suggest room for improvement. The staff, however, receive consistent praise for their friendliness, attentiveness and warm welcome, significantly enhancing the overall guest experience.

The campsite offers a rustic, unplugged experience without Wi-Fi or electricity, encouraging guests to disconnect from digital distractions and fully embrace the natural surroundings. Parking is convenient and well-organized, allowing easy access to accommodations and contributing to a hassle-free stay.

The beds are particularly highlighted, frequently described as super comfy and warm, offering a cozy refuge in the wilderness. Guests often claim the quality of sleep to be on par with or better than traditional accommodations.

For pet owners, Wander Camp Grand Canyon provides a dog-friendly environment with the added delight of diverse wildlife sightings including deer, foxes, raccoons, boars, owls and coyotes. This authentic wilderness experience is complemented by practical amenities like warm water showers, ensuring both pets and their owners enjoy their stay.

Overall, Wander Camp Grand Canyon stands out as a picturesque and peaceful retreat, offering a distinctive balance of luxury and rustic charm for those looking to explore the Grand Canyon and reconnect with nature.
