What guests think

Travellers describe Canyon Plaza Premier Studios and Apts-South Rim as a convenient base minutes from the South Rim, with simple, often dated rooms and friendly staff who help with park plans and logistics.

Many note aging maintenance, with inconsistent cleanliness, worn mattresses, dim lighting, and occasional heating or air-conditioning troubles. Facilities like the indoor atrium and hot tub are appreciated, though the pool is sometimes closed or dirty, parking and wayfinding can be confusing, and some rooms have outside-entry layouts or noise near the hot tub. On-site dining ranges from decent to poor and is often considered pricey, and overall value feels high for what you get. Expect a simple, no-frills base for visiting the canyon.

Nice, large hotel in Tusayan, near the Grand Canyon. Not easy to see from the street, but GPS worked well in finding it next to the IMAX theater. Room was old, but everything worked well and the place was generally clean. People were really friendly and explained everything. Not a lot of parking for such a big hotel, but they probably get tour buses mostly.

Halls are very dark. Not inviting. Beds were on the more firm/ hard side. Carpeting in the rooms and halls very old and worn. Not enough outlets or USB access The pool and hot tub was right outside our balcony and both were filthy with black water. Wouldnt have been able to use them if it had been warmer. Parking area had trash all over.

Laundry room was nice. It was nice they had a change machine. Inside spa was great! The Wagon Wheel had delicious food and a delush Prickly Pear Marg!. Front desk staff helpful, courteous and most kind! Just a tad on the run down side. However, beds and linen were comfy! The bathroom tub/shower needs a little bleach attention. Great proximity to the Canyon. We were able to return for sunset and to see the full moon.

I checked into this hotel around 4 pm and left just an hour later. The condition of the room was unacceptable and I did not feel safe with so many people walking around outside. Bathroom was moldy, there was trash and food under both beds, and stains on the bedding. The beds were also very lumpy and uncomfortable. There was no latch/lock/deadbolt that only locks from the inside either. I tried to call the front desk and tell them I was leaving, but got no answer. Hotels.com also tried to call and got no answer. Completely wasted my time and money here

The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the property shows its age. In its day it was probably amazing. It does have some cool features with the spa and interior courtyard. However, the attempts to update the bathroom were poorly executed. Trying to hide the mold by painting over it is unacceptable. The tile job was some kind of a joke. The light fixtures and door hinges were rusted. There is obviously a moisture problem. The carpet was stained and disgusting. Really hope they fix this. Otherwise it had a great location with lots of dining options close by and just a short drive to Grand Canyon.

While the property was great. We stopped by the bar and had a beer sitting at the bar. Behind us was a table of Germans. Our bartender obviously had a problem with them because he kept using derogatory terms for them, including N*zi and Kr*ut. I am married to a German whom was sitting with me. She's the one that kept me from confronting the bartender. I asked for a manager at checkout to voice my concern and was told one was not currently available so I am voicing my concerns in this forum.

Just note being that it’s not IN the Grand Canyon, wait times to get into the park can be long if you’re driving in on your own.

Wait staff was very inattentive, food was cold and literally looked like a microwaved Walmart frozen meal. $120 for two people for food like that is unacceptable. I almost want to file a charge back on my credit card.

Our stay started off great. Fernanda checked us in with a level of professionalism that I haven’t seen in years, explaining all the hotel amenities and location of things we might need. They upgraded our room to a suite! The room and hotel are very dated, clean but worn and old. No fan in the bathroom and only one very small soap for two sinks and the shower to share. Exhausted from our day of travel, we opted to eat in the hotel restaurant. The menu was basic and the food was average at best. My sandwich arrived with cold stale fries. Our waiter took our order, brought the food and then ignored us. We could see him watching TV at the bar. Another man took away our dirty plates. We continued to wait. Now our waiter was off to the side, on his phone. He finally decides to come by and sees our empty table, drained water glasses at the edge of the table and our irritated faces. Too late to pretend you care dude. After that, we ate off property. I recommend The Foodie Club. It is walking distance to the hotel.
