The deadbolt did not work, the door security bar did not engage and the HVAC system did not work resulting in the room being very hot. We slept with the window opened, but there was music coming from outside until early morning hours. We reported these at checkout from our one night stay. I suspect they could had given us a new room, but we… Read more

We slept with the window opened, but there was music coming from outside until early morning hours. We reported these at checkout from our one night stay. I suspect they could had given us a new room, but we arrived exhausted after a long travel and sight seeing day. We did not discover these short comings in the room until we were unpacked and ready to retire for the evening. Read less

I've stayed here on 3 different occasions, once before the pandemic and twice during the pandemic. In 2018, the breakfast buffet was amazing with so many choices and the food was fresh and hot. In 2020 I didn't eat here because it was too crowded, but in 2022 I tried the buffet again and it was TERRIBLE. There wasn't a lot of food, and what was… Read more
I've stayed here on 3 different occasions, once before the pandemic and twice during the pandemic. In 2018, the breakfast buffet was amazing with so many choices and the food was fresh and hot. In 2020 I didn't eat here because it was too crowded, but in 2022 I tried the buffet again and it was TERRIBLE. There wasn't a lot of food, and what was there was mostly cold and hard. I was so disappointed. The rooms in 2018 were very comfortable with soft bedding and cold air conditioning. I'm not sure what was going on in 2020 and 2022, but on both occasions there was an issue with the air conditioning not working. It was 80 degrees when I arrived last weekend and the heat was on in my room and there was no option to cool on the thermostat, only heat. Ironically the same thing happened in 2020. The bedding was very comfortable, but it's hard to sleep when the room feels like 90 degrees. We opened the windows on both occasions, but it took a good 3-4 hours for the room to cool down. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and did their best to make things better. Read less

Rooms quiet, property well maintained, nice to walk around the property at night, the pool was nice too. Quick jaunt into the Grand Canyon, which was our goal. We saw wild horses and elk to/from the Grand Canyon, what a treat.

We had problems from the beginning. We were given a room with a broken air conditioner, a bathtub that filled up to your ankles when you took a shower, the bathroom smelled like mold—I have a mold allergy so I was constantly blowing my nose during our stay and sneezing. Also, the bottom of the bathtub made of fiberglass came unglued to the floor… Read more
We had problems from the beginning. We were given a room with a broken air conditioner, a bathtub that filled up to your ankles when you took a shower, the bathroom smelled like mold—I have a mold allergy so I was constantly blowing my nose during our stay and sneezing. Also, the bottom of the bathtub made of fiberglass came unglued to the floor below and made a loud thud when you stepped on it and then it bounced back at you when you stepped off of it. My husband nearly fell while showering because of it. It was a safety hazard. The beds are worn out and sag in the middle. The toilet in the bathroom is small-seems like it is made for a child. We were told by the front desk that there is no housekeeping service. We had to empty our own garbage and get fresh towels from the maid cleaning the rooms of guests who had checked out. Clearly, no regular maintenance was done on our room. My husband talked to the front desk about the air conditioner. They sent a maintenance man that could not fix it. He asked us if we wanted to switch rooms, but we were checking out the next morning so we decided to stick it out for another night. The maintenance man brought us a fan to use. The next morning, my husband talked to the female manager. He asked for a refund. She claimed she could not refund us because we booked the hotel with Expedia and we would have to talk to them. The only thing she offered us was free breakfast. We had already eaten our breakfast so we did not eat the hotel breakfast. The pool and fitness center were nice, but we did not enjoy either since we barely got any sleep. The hallway carpets are old and dirty. Read less

We reserved a Deluxe Suite for 4 nights last December. At a not inconsiderable cost. In Northern Arizona there was no complementary water in the Suite. We were told we had to buy our own water from the gift shop. There was no shampoo. After two nights we requested a housekeeping service. For house keeping, we had to leave a message.

We reserved a Deluxe Suite for 4 nights last December. At a not inconsiderable cost. In Northern Arizona there was no complementary water in the Suite. We were told we had to buy our own water from the gift shop. There was no shampoo. After two nights we requested a housekeeping service. For house keeping, we had to leave a message. When we returned, the room was untouched. On complaining to a senior person on Reception we were told that it was Best Western Corporate Policy not to provide housekeeping services. This is contradicted on their Corporate website where housekeeping is on request. Then the truth was revealed. They do not have sufficient staff to provide even an on request service. Presumably because they are not prepared to the salary to attract the staff. And the decision not to provide any housekeeping service, however long you stay, is not Corporate Policy. It is a decision of the General Manager of this hotel. To save money. Aparently, there is a sign at reception advising no housekeeping service. But we were not told this at the time of check in. And we were not told this in the period between reservation and checking in. I have asked to speak to the General Manager. Not because we cannot make our own beds, but because of the untruths we have been told. I do not expect to receive a telephone call. Certainly, we will not spend one cent in the hotel before we check out on Saturday. It seems staff are instructed to hide the truth from paying customers in a 5 star hotel. Read less
