The Historic Grand Canyon Hotel
Charming old hotel. Staff was super friendly and the room was nice and clean. Our only issue was the hot water in the shower sort of came and went.

Star Hotel Route 66 Grand Canyon
Clean room but smelled of strong air freshener or perfume. Shower stall was very small but plenty of hot water and good pressure. Shower needs some shelves or something to put your soap and shampoo/conditioner. There was body wash and shampoo (provided) dispensers in the shower but I can’t use those. ...

Red Garter Inn
good parking, cool place as it is historical. very clean. the ONLY downside to this place is there is a very steep set of stairs you have to go up to get to your room. it is steep and the stairs themselves are not fullsize. makes it hard to get luggage, etc up.

Celilo Inn
This was not our first time staying here. This trip I noticed that things are starting to need attention. The biggest thing was that there was mold around the tub/shower area on the walls and around the top of the shower/tub.
