I had no idea when booking that a "partial view" meant being right on the canyon rim with a tree or two in the way.
We had an ADA room that was perfect, with its own sidewalk to the room (no steps) and the bathroom was spacious. Two chairs so we could look out the window from inside or sit on our little entry patio.

Excellent choice for lodging at the Grand Canyon rim.
The location of the property to views of the canyon, even partial view was excellent for the price. Well worth it. There was a bus stop in front of the property so it was convenient to get around the town to all the best overlooks. Thank you!
We stayed the night to get an early start in the Bright Angel Trail. The room was spacious clean and comfortable. The proximity to our hike was excellent. Good place great people.

The lodge was nice. Carpets smell old. Bed was not comfortable needs updated.
The location of the property was fantastic! We were just steps away from the Grand Canyon and even had a great view from our room. The downside was the size of the room and that it was a little outdated. The shower was a challenge for my husband and daughter, who are tall. Otherwise, we enjoyed our time there.
Great location. Parking isn’t ideal but worth the hassle since it is within steps from the canyon rim. Everything you need amenity wise is close by either in the lodge or next door
