I like to stay in Flagstaff or Williams. There are a few hotels immediately outside the entrance as well but availability and options are limited. You want to explore the South Rim. Be aware that the lines can be long to get into the park especially on a weekend. They have several lookout stations. The Desert View Watchtower is particularly nice. The Visitor's Center is also decent and has a good gift shop. I recommend to eat at the El Tovar Lodge which is historic and has great views. I hope you enjoy your trip. Arizona is a beautiful state. I highly recommend a trip to Sedona which south of Flagstaff if you will be in that area. The red rocks there are fantastic scenery.
