Claims to have free parking which is true but you are in competition with the thousands of people here to see the Grand Canyon. Asked front desk where to park she stated to come back after sunset because that's when people clear out. Even the registration parking was full had to circle just to check in. Had to leave my car full of luggage and hope that no one breaks into it. There was no loading/unloading zone either just plenty of signs where you cannot park and that they will tow your car. This is unacceptable. They could easily institute a permit for hotel guests to park in the lots around the hotels. On another day that we went into town for dinner came back had to park and take a bus back to the hotel. Usually it is a convenience to stay in the park here it is not you are better off staying off property and coming in and then take the bus. At least at the end of the day of hiking or what not you do not have a journey to your bed.
