beautiful stay near the canyon

beautiful room range view clean showers
The beautiful room offered space with great views. the resort features a bar with views of the ranges. A pleasant place to view sunsets on the sandstone cliffs. showers and toilets are perfectly clean.
our beautiful room had external air conditioning units directly outside, so it was noisy at night, made sleep difficult. the resort was not fully booked, i felt the room allocation could have been better.
Location
9/10
The hotel is very close to the canyon. It is convenient for early morning rim walks. a nearby gas station offers easy access to fuel. i could also walk to the sunset viewing spot.
Rooms
10/10
Our beautiful room included a private balcony, that i used every night. the bathroom was spacious. there was a freestanding bath. It was really luxurious.
Service
9/10
The personnel was really friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. a 30% voucher for the Carmichael Restaurant buffet breakfast is offered to campground guests. It is worth the money. the buffet has a great choice of food.

underwhelming experience

poor lighting lacking seating
the bathroom was of a decent size.
the room i stayed in felt quite basic, especially considering the price. the lighting was very poor, and the room lacked a comfortable seating area with chairs or a table. i also noticed some moths, and the cleanliness could have been better..
