"Great location, hotel is a bit dated and breakfast is not included."
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5

The hotel is in a great location. About 10 minutes from the Grand Canyon visitor center. The hotel is a bit dated, but the room was spacious and clean. Breakfast is not included, which is too bad and would have made up for the fact that the room is dated. However there is a coffee station in the lobby and Starbucks and McDonald's are across the street. There's also a restaurant inside the hotel where you can buy breakfast. The man at the front desk was very welcoming and friendly. There's a sitting area with a fireplace, but there was no fire, which is too bad, being December.

Lovely place. Very clean. Very convenient to Grand Canyon. Wish we could have stayed more than one night and taken advantage of other amenities.

"The Grand Canyon Plaza was a great hotel that has an awesome staff that provides an awesome experience."

My wife and I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas that included a side trip to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Damn and Red Rocks National Park. We rented a car and took off for the Canyon. When searching for a hotel prior to the trip, I came upon the listing for the Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel. After a spectacular 4 plus hour drive from Vegas we arrived at the GCP Hotel. Checking in was easy and one of the staff Susan, introduced herself informing me she was the person I had interacted with months before on the phone, (great memory). We went to our room which was big, clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We had booked a tour of the Canyon through the hotel, that was great. After our tour we returned to the hotel and ate a late dinner at the "Wagon Wheel Saloon" on property. While our waiter was a bit grumpy (and I emphasize "a bit"), his service was impeccable. The food was very good and the experience was very satisfactory. Folks, the Grand Canyon is a rustic experience. This hotel was appropriate for the area. It's not the Bellagio and doesn't claim to be. Come and stay here, you'll enjoy the property, the staff and particularly the Grand Canyon.
