Really nice motel rooms right in the Grand Canyon National Park. The rooms are very nice and the beds were comfy. The bathrooms were a little dated, but had all the amenities. Great having the car out front and also little areas to sit and hang out outside the room. The price is also very reasonable for being right in the park. The staff were really nice, helpful and friendly!

This property is good for families and people who want a comfortable bed and a quite nights sleep, if you don’t have pets then stay in east wing, be prepared to walk a ways to your room. There is a cafeteria and a casual tavern , food is versatile. There is a small cafe with snacks , pastry a store near by. Some nice young men waiters work in cafeteria and Tavern

Halls were dated and musty smelling but the room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Aerater on the sink faucet sprayed water everywhere. Never spoke to any staff as check in and check out where contactless. Quiet location (away from crowds) was nice. Definitely felt like a park setting. Had an elk bedded down right outside our door. Would probably stay again.

Room was clean and staff was nice. Had a great buffet breakfast, was $20 a person though. Only thing I have a grievance about is the shower. Could not really figure out the shower, had to pull on the knob and twist it around till it started working correctly. Other than that, loved being in the park close to the shuttles

Unless I wasn't told, there aren't really any amenities like a gym or pool. And if there are those things, then I just wasn't informed. The property itself is wonderful, especially being out there in the middle of trees. It was close to the visitation center and the free shuttle transportation cannot be highlighted enough. I wish a few more things/benefits were provided by the lodge itself for booking with them, but I understand why its not. Food/breakfast buffet was priced at a rate you'd expect but everyone was really nice.

I want be clear. The only reason to stay here is for the convenience of staying inside the park. You will get Motel 6 accommodations at a Marriott price. The bed was comfortable enough and the room was clean, but expect no more. The aerator in the sink sprayed all over the place and when I called the front desk to have it replaced, you would’ve thought I asked for a room remodel. The staff was pleasant, but obviously limited in what they can and will do for guests.

It's a lodge, so keep tpir expectations aligned with that. The room was clean, yhe beds comfy, & you have control ofnthe temp of your room. There is no microwave, but thereb s a mini fridge. The bathroom could use some seriois updating. The hot and cold water is reversed on the tub/shower. There is no sink counter. New headboards for the beds. Overall, it was fine.

Staying inside the park at a facility was very convenient. Did not have to go in and out with the traffic which would've been very tedious and frustrating. I felt that the room was not as updated and large, as I thought it would be. But we were able to manage. I did like the fact that we had coffee in the room. Bathroom was on small side. This is the second time I've stayed inside the park and might think about trying a different lodge or hotel/Cafeteria was very convenient and the food was very good. It took a little longer to get some of the food that had to be made like pizza and breakfast sometimes. Especially when there were a lot of people there.

Our room was very dark and dated but clean. On our 2nd day they changed the towels but didn’t make the bed. The Tavern Restaurant was a disappointment. Very crowded. We ate outside and liked the fire pit. They brought our queso & chips right away but it took a very long time to get our chicken quesadillas. They only had just a few pieces of chicken in them and were just lukewarm. The waiter was very nice and tried hard to give good service. We ate the breakfast buffet the next day. Food was good there but expensive.

We enjoyed our stay at Yavapai Lodge. It is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, lodging complexes at the Grand Canyon. Rooms are in a number of lodge buildings extending out from a central courtyard containing all the amenities (restaurants, gift shops, etc.). If you have any mobility issues, ask for a room in a building close to the central square, and believe them when they tell you to bring a flashlight for walking home at night. It's dark! On the down side, the rooms are like a family vacation in the 70s, though well-maintained and clean, and there is no wifi in the rooms. (That was a shock!) On the up side, they have lovely views of the trees and are near dining and other options. The shuttle bus that takes you all over the National Park is close by. The food is pretty good and delivered quickly. There's kind of a fun buzz here.

We had a good stay at Yavapai. We were in Yavapai East, second floor. Be aware - no elevator, or at least we did not see one. Our room was fairly large and comfortable. Decor is somewhat dated. Love the location, and the market area offered a lot of options for food, and shopping in the General Store, if needed.
