Loved the Kachina. Can't beat the location. Easy check in next door at El Tovar. Parking turned out to be not a huge issue, but you definately need to get there early. We could have sold our spot any number of times! Lovely, decently re-done room with 2Q, canyonside with great view. The bathroom was beautiful, new, with gorgeous tiles with native american symbols. Lots of towels, hair dryer etc. Coffee pot and alarm clock included...a must for getting up early to see the sunrise. We had planned to drive to a "better" view, but once we were up and ready to go we found that it was already daybreak and so we decided to stay right there in front of El Tovar to watch the sun come up. Lovely and highly recommended. Great giftshop nearby. Close to Bright Angel Trail down into the canyon. This is a treat, even if you don't go down very far. Great to see what its like "below the rim". Don't miss the eastern viewpoints....Grandview, Lipan Point and Desert View with the watchtower. We thought these were the finest overlooks in the park.
