Expert Booking Tips for Seniors
1. Call to Confirm: Even after booking via Trip.com, call the hotel to request a room near the elevator or on the ground floor.
2. Request Quiet Zones: Ask for a room away from the ice machines or the lobby area to ensure a restful night.
3. Use the Shuttle: Most hotels inside the park have a "Grand Canyon Shuttle" stop right outside. It's free and wheelchair accessible!
