Decided to go to the Grand Canyon somewhat last-minute. Everything was sold out, but called Xanterra anyway. There was one "room" available across all their hotels, the "Bucky O'Neil Suite". The price was a bit of a shock, but I decided to do it. Got off the phone, looked it up, and couldn't believe what I'd just booked. Overall, it did NOT disappoint. I mean, c'mon, the Grand Canyon is across the sidewalk outside your front door. The room was cozy (it's two rooms -- living room and bedroom), rustic with modern furnishings and touches like a wet bar. You certainly won't feel like you're roughing it. Having a fireplace was great. It was really cold outside but it stayed warm inside. Note that there are two front doors but the whole place is yours. It has a door on the other side that goes into the connecting hallway where the attached building's other rooms are. It wasn't weird or creepy... in fact it'd be convenient if you're lugging your stuff from the parking lot when it's cold or rainy. The Bright Angel Lodge is literally steps away with 2 restaurants and a coffee shop -- couldn't be more convenient. We got funny looks from the crowds passing by on the sidewalk, and yes, a few people tried to walk in. We just kept the screen door locked and went into it with the right attitude. We thought it was all kind of amusing and everyone was apologetic. We actually ran into the guy who did the restoration in 2019 and showed him around inside. It was a really interesting conversation. So here's the one negative (other than the price of course), and if they could fix this, it'd be perfect. The baseboard heaters look old and they clang, pop, and creak as they expand and contract. I noticed it during the day but it didn't bother me. However, at night it is dead SILENT (except for the heater, of course) and that racket was impossible to sleep through. We were awake throughout the night with short periods of falling asleep. The next day we were wiped out, and needless to say, it really impacted our two-day trip. For the price, that shouldn't happen. Otherwise, 5 stars all the way... oh wait, the pillows are awful too. About 8 squares that are like 10 inches high and super springy. Ha, ok, other than that, 5 stars all the way!…
