“Decent lodge”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

We stayed here for our post Christmas visit to the Grand Canyon. It was our first time back to the GC in over 15 years and going during the winter. We made reservation about 2 months in advance and was happy with our decision. Check in was efficient. Our yavapai west room was adequate with no major complaints. It was a good winter rate value for what we paid in order to stay in the park without wasting time exiting & returning . We parked at the general store and hopped on the GC shuttle to get to the various location to avoid parking problems. Overall, I would definitely return for another 2 night stay. It's conveniently located near the general store where a microwave is available for use near the meat department.

“Just around the corner of the rim”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

We stayed only 2 nights at the Yavapai Lodge. It is just around the corner of the north rim. It was our first visit of the Grand Canyon nd we were just blown away.

The Lodge is nice, cozy and clean. But dont expect to get a bargain, it is horrible expensive. We had a bad timing and payed a lot of money. But at the end, it was worth it, because you can stay in the national park. There are only just a few lodges in the park, and if you dont book well in advance, those lodges are fully booked.

You can walk to the rim or you can take a shuttle. Overall, we had a wonderful stay

Room Tip: A/C units need to run all the time.

“Inside the National Park - Easy walk to the rim”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

The Yavapi Lodge is a group of large two story cabin blocks with about twenty rooms in each block. Each room is comfortable, with a Bed, TV, coffee maker, bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries...what more can you need. Elk walk right past your window. There is a restaurant only 10min from the lodges and a free bus to take you around the rim and to all the great locations. We loved staying here and had the opportunity to go for a fixed wing flight over the canyon which made our trip .

Room Tip: Rooms near the restaurant/reception and bus are best.

“Nice and cozy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

The room is quite clean and warm, located in the national park, easily commute to view points. The catering service is ok, close too early though. Staff are nice and helpful, easy with check in and check out service.
