To be honest we booked this hotel because we were only staying one night and this was the only place in the park with rooms available.

When we got there it was easy to find and the check in/check out was efficient. The entrance to the reception was exactly how I imagined; made from stone and timber and I had expected the room to be similar but the block was actually just the same as any other motel.

The room itself was clean and provided us with a fridge, toiletries and coffee making facilities. There was no air conditioning but there were two fans - although one did not work. We were actually both too hot during the night and woke early unable to get back to sleep, so we decided to go and watch the sunrise and then continue with our journey.

The room was a few minutes walk from the rim of the canyon and is a short walk to the ideal place to watch the sunset.

There are a number of options for food within the park, but as we were only there one night we decided the cafeteria in the lodge was the easiest and seemingly offered a range of different foods to cater for all tastes.
When we arrived just before 8pm, the cafeteria was extremely busy and we could not get a seat so we decided to go and have a drink in the bar until things quietened down. When we finally managed to find a space, around half an hour later, we went to get our food.
Frankly the food was expensive and well below what we could have expected, the portions were also much smaller than you would usually expect in the states.
There were several different counters but in each case the food had been mass-produced and lacked any kind of taste. The pasta and bolognaise sauce was actually reheated in the microwave in front of us!

All in all for one night the hotel was adequate and is located close to the rim but I would firmly recommend avoiding the cafeteria and go to one of the other restaurants.

We booked a one night stay for a trip to the Grand Canyon. Upon recommendation of a travel book, a king room in the north building was requested because they had been updated recently. The room was in good shape, clean and updated. The air conditioner didn't seem to work very well, but it didn't matter at the time of year we went. It is a short walk to the Grand Canyon from this hotel, but far enough away to be very quiet. We ate in the cafeteria for the convenience and it was OK, although breakfast for whatever reason ended up costing more than dinner. Good place to stay for a visit to the canyon due to location.

5/5 found this review helpful

Family of 2 adults and 1 teen on a two week, 5,000 mile road trip around the southwest. We arrived at the Maswik Lodge at 3:20 pm. We were greeted and on our way to our room within minutes even though check in wasn't supposed to be until 4:00. Every employeee that we came into contact with was very polite and helpful. We were in the Mesquite building on the north side. The room had two queen beds, refrigerator , air conditioner and a 4 cup coffee maker. We had no trouble finding a parking space directly in front of our building. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and quiet. Our view was of the woods and train tracks. We did hear the train pass a few times but it wasn't loud enough to bother us. Everytime we left our room we saw elk or deer. The elk kept their distance but the deer approached us quite often. The Maswik has a small gift shop, cafeteria and lounge. The cafeteria food was equal to hospital food and the prices were a bit steep but it's the Grand Canyon so that is to be expected. They had a sandwich station, pasta station, Mexican food and hot dinners that included chili, turkey with stuffing, chicken, etc. Plenty of options for the whole family. Beer and wine are also available and were each priced at around $5.00 per small bottle. As sub sandwich was $5.98 and the hot dinners were about $10.00. Two well drinks at the lounge cost us $12. I can't comment on breakfast as we didn't eat there. Prices in the gift shop were reasonable. The walk to the rim was a bit further than we had expected and included some stairs. Not too bad though. We stayed one night and the cost was $172.91 after taxes for our standard two queen north. We made the reservation six months in advance. This place was quite nice and we will definitely make the trip back to the canyon and stay here again!

Situated 5 minutes walk from the canyon edge this was the next best thing to actually being on the South Rim itself.
The accommodation was was clean, with helpful staff.
They have their own cafeteria which serves up a large array of food, very reasonably priced as well. There is also a sports bar serving till 11PM, a good place to finish off the evening.
You're right in Grand Canyon Village so ideally located for Tourist information, guided tours, local buses and other restaurants.

Maswik lodge has a good location - 5 minutes walk from the canyon edge near the Bright Angel Trail, but that is the best you can say about it. The temperature outside was 100 degrees but it was hotter in the room - choose somewhere with air con if you visit in summer or you will really suffer.
Lots of restaurants in walking distance, but you don't really come for the food. The views are stupendous, the shuttle bus service efficient and as the park is huge, this is a big plus and the sky at night is brighter than I have ever seen it. Could see the milky way.
