About

Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel is a big, no-frills property just outside the park's south entrance in Grand Canyon Village — the kind of place travelers book because of where it sits, not because it's trying to be a boutique stay. With 2,889 Google reviews and a 3.9 rating, it's clearly one of the go-to fallback options for anyone who didn't lock down in-park lodging early, and reviewers consistently point to the location as the reason to stay.

What's here

The hotel has an atrium, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, and an on-site buffet restaurant, plus a free shuttle. Guests describe rooms as large and clean but dated — several mention older furniture and mixed climate control, so this reads as a functional, budget-friendly base rather than a luxury stop. The hot tubs get singled out as a genuine perk after a full day of hiking, and water filling stations for refilling bottles post-trail are a nice practical touch.

Good to know

Rating: 3.9 stars from 2,889 Google reviews
Hours: front desk and property open 24 hours
On-site dining: buffet restaurant (reviewers note it runs pricier than options in Tusayan)
Extras: free shuttle, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, atrium lobby

Because it sits right outside the South Rim entrance, this is a solid pick for convenience over character — book with the understanding that you're paying for proximity to the park, not a polished boutique experience.

The room was spacious but musky and outdated. Other than that, food was great and staff was excellent.

The room is clean, it’s okey juste for one night or one stop but too bad, two separate beds. The housekeeper has wake-up at 8.am for Check-in or is not hour it’s not great. We heard the neighbors upstairs.

The rooms and location was incredible. It was so beautiful in there. I've never seen a style like it. The front desk was incredibly kind. But- the bar staff was extremely disrespectful. Me and my boyfriend were just coming in and heading to the indoor bar. My boyfriend just turned 21 and didn't have his new ID yet. We're also from Texas so the bartender pulled the manager out to check my boyfriend's old ID bc it was cut. When he tried my ID- I told him I only have a picture right now bc it's in the room. The manger processed to stare at the picture, taking my phone, and zooming in. All whist yelling at me about how I need my real one. I told her I can go grab it and she said no it's fine. It's legal, but i'll make an exception. If it's so illegal then why are you serving me alcohol?? But whatever I just said okay thank you. She proceeded to raise her voice at me saying you cannot do this, even after already saying she'll serve me lol. I was SO over it. Finally got our drinks (which a beer and a cocktail costed almost $30...) and as we were leaving. She's still bitching and yelling at a worker about the situation. Cmon lady, I could have just grabbed it for you if it makes you this upset. 2 days after we checked out my boyfriend got charged another $50 for no reason. Took 5 days to resolve it. Manger had to clue how it happened because it didn't show up on his end. He had to email a screenshot of the charge to the hotel. So.... beware.
