Published Date: Aug, 17, 2025 Travel Date: Aug, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 We stayed for 3 nights for a family trip. The rooms were ok, standard double queen, clean. The bathroom situation was a little tight with shower, toilet and sink all together making getting ready at the same time challenging. The fridge in the room was convenient but would have been nice to have a freezer section. Parking was also tight. The beds were fine. But really the view made up for any short comings in the room. Being close was wonderful! Being able to get an early start before the crowds joined in was perfect. We could get a rest in the heat of the day when it was busiest and to more in the evening when it was more comfortable and fewer people. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Great stay!

Amazing experience as you see the canyon in sunrise, daylight and evening. Including lots of stars. The rooms are simple but have everything they need, good beds, refrigerator, coffee and tea.

Published Date: Jul, 23, 2025 Travel Date: Jul, 1, 2025 Rating: 3 As we were going to sleep on our second night, 2 young men were trying to enter our room. They tried to key in and kept jiggling the handle and forcefully pushing the door. I told them they had the wrong room, but the insisted it was theirs and continued. I called the front desk and they said they would check into it. Those men ended up in the room across the hall. My son was terrified all night and feared the men would be back. He didn't get any sleep.

Thunderbird Lodge

Published Date: Jul, 21, 2025 Travel Date: Jul, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 The Thunderbird Lodge was a very nice facility. I would definitely recommend staying there, it was located right off the rim trail. We were there during the fire on the North Rim, so the views were a little smoky at times. It depended on which way the wind was blowing. But over all a great vacation.
