convenient stay NEAR THE canyon

clean roomfriendly staffquick accesslate checkout
the room was clean and the staff friendly. the hotel sits close to the park entrance, so travel was easy. i enjoyed the convenience of parking right outside, enabling quick access back to my room after day trips. they also allowed me an hour for a late checkout.
the decor felt a little dated, but it didn't seriously affect my stay.

the indoor spa was acceptable after a long day.
the room felt quite dark. the curtains on the exterior window were broken, and i had to walk outside to reach the stairs (it was cold). the heater was also very noisy, difficult to sleep soundly.
