Ya api Lodge was an excellent choice for our 4 night stay at the canyon. The Lodge has a great central location close to all major parks areas. The room was comfortable and clean while the service was friendly and efficient. Yavapi Lodge helped to make this a vacation to remember. Thanks!

Yes, it’s a lodge, but a lodge with everything you possibly need including right on the shuttle line to all the Grand Canyon attractions. We especially loved the tavern food and drink with live music on the patio. Slept like a baby in the comfy beds. Shower water pressure was an 11/10.

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

This is the second time my family has stayed at Yavapai Lodge. It is not on the Canyon Rim, but is in the park - and a short enough nature walk to the rim and everything else. What is so great about it is the General Store and Canyon Outfitters, and the Restaurant, Tavern, and Coffee Stop in the main building. The food, prepared for quite a substantial number of diners at every meal time, is really good and well priced. Accommodations are not like the El Tovar (we have stayed there, too), but then, neither is the price. We travel a lot, hike and camp, and stay at accommodations at all levels, We've never been disappointed here in any way.
