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

The motel is conveniently located near the canyon rim. There are a number of restaurants, grocery stores and amenities within walking distance. The rooms themselves are quite basic and a bit faded, but clean and perfectly satisfactory for a family vacation.

The location is excellent. Easy to hop on the blue line bus. The staff was helpful, friendly and with fast check in. Also liked the dining hall. The lodges and rooms can really use an update but it was quiet and served its purpose for 1 night.

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

It was very convent to the busses and the lodge! Breakfast was great. simple but what you needed for 2 days. Bed was very comfortable. Only concern was the shower floor pretty much was caving in. And there was no body wash in our tub.

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.

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.

The check in was super easy and the staff was so nice. We chose yavapai due to the location convenience. The biggest amenity was the location. The room was fine and clean. The only issue I had was the soap and shampoo were basically empty when I went to shower day one. Also on check out day, they expect people to be up and out. My partner didn’t wake up til 10 and they knocked on the door 3 separate times
