First let me say, I love the National Parks. Grand Canyon is spectacular. If you don't mind the drive, stay a little further away from the south rim and get something nice. The Thunderbird Lodge is old and outdated and overpriced. It needs regular maintenance, from the faucet the constantly dripped water (wasting water), to the gap under the door... more

We stayed here for two nights while visiting the Grand Canyon. The room wasn't so bad - decent size with a nice bathroom that appeared to be newly renovated. Also had a minifridge so we could keep our bottles of water cold. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, I don't think the price we paid was... more

The view of the rim from the room is not worth the price you pay for it. The room you get is basic, not worth the price. The parking situation here is horrible, and if you have luggage, it will be a back breaking task bringing it from the car to your room. Even getting parking just to check in... more

Stayed two nights, and pleasantly surprised our first trip to Canyon. Luv rim view from room, and central location! Ate dinner one evening right next door at Ariz room, and short walk to El Tover for dinner, and breakfest! Both meals surpassed expectations. And, did get up and out by 6:00AM for sunrise photos. Parking a challenge, but, hey, everyone... more

We stayed at the Thunderbird Lodge at the end of our Rim-2-Rim hike. The room was clean and comfortable with a view of THE Canyon. We slept well. more

We are glad that we stayed right in the park - it was great to be so close and convenient. The bathrooms have been remodeled, and the beds were comfortable. Also - I was worried about the lack of aircondition at this hotel, however, we were very comfortable with the cooling system, even in August. HOWEVER, I wish we would... more

I know...I know...you are not here for the room. I only give this pace a "Very good" overall rating because of its location; the room itself need a total renovation. They've updated the bathrooms which was good but rooms are in need of new rugs, updated furniture and linens. The room had a musty smell. Despite the room, the view... more

I stayed here for one night as part of a road trip around Arizona and Utah. The price was comparable with hotels outside the park with the added bonus of Canyon View rooms. I thought I had booked one of these rooms, but there was no record of it on my confirmation and on arrival we were given a room... more

I'm so glad we stayed in the park! The Grand Canyon is always impressive, but I think it's most beautiful at dawn and dusk. And it's less crowded then, as well. But the hotel... It desperately needs updating, which I wouldn't mind if it weren't so expensive. It was very basic, and the electrical outlets were hanging loose in the... more

Great lodge/hotel location. Lodge/hotel room #6227 was ok BUT the cleanliness/housekeeping of the room was NOT good - Sadly the coffee maker, ceramic coffee mugs and ice bucket were all DIRTY. Shelves in the bathroom were dusty, the towel rack was broken and the sink faucets were dirty upon arrival. Housekeeping needs to improve! Finding parking in the area was... more
