Grand Canyon University Hotel

This hotel is on the campus of Grand Canyon University, and their school colors are purple, black, and white. Their mascot name is "Antelopes," commonly shortened to "Lopes." If you are put off by the color purple, please don't stay here. Personally, I love purple and was delighted with so much of it, even to the violet-colored mini fridge in the room. It was great to have the convenience of a fridge and microwave. The room was very clean. The beds were terrific and we had a very good night's sleep. Our room was as close to the street as you could get, and we heard no sirens or other loud noises, as mentioned by another reviewer, except when the dump truck emptied the dumpster next to our room, which was after 9 AM. Everyone we encountered was cheerful, friendly, and very accommodating, from early check-in to returning our luggage cart when they saw me headed with it towards the return area. The pool area is gorgeous, with plenty of shade coverings beside the pool, two waterfalls, and an ample size spa. There are two fire pits in the pool area as well. Wish we'd had more time here, but alas, we booked only one night. We had a small issue with our TV when we checked in, and they were there to successfully fix it within minutes. Same thing when we needed more coffee and cups. We offered to come to the desk to get them, and they offered to bring them to us instead, and they came right away. The grounds are beautiful. The pool towels (purple, of course) were ample size, not like the postage-stamp size they have at some hotels for pool towels. We didn't eat in the restaurant, so I can't comment on the food. I loved being on campus with all the energy of the students. It was also really nice to know that the entire campus is fenced, and in order to enter, we had to pass through a security gate. So that made us feel very safe. We will definitely stay here again.
