Thunderbird Lodge

Cleaner options down the road. Drive into the park in the morning and you can have a better view than you would here.

You may be able to find parking to check in, you may be able to find parking near your actual building, you may get to park 4 buildings away!
If you're lucky the room will just be dusty and look worn out and dated, or you could get the room we were put in. Some sort of red/brown stain on the mattress cover, which was IMPOSSIBLE to miss had the bedding been changed after the last guest. The brown stain in the bathtub. Dust on the bathroom mirror, clumps of dust under the filthy vent. The second room was just dusty and gross. We did receive a refund (which is why I gave more than one star) and we stayed at a super clean and friendly hotel just outside the park for half the price and none of the disgust!

A very plain, but clean motel that I would have been comfortable paying $100 for, that I paid $400 for. On the positive side: it's in the park so you don't have to deal with the lines getting in, and it has a view of the canyon. On the negative side: it's a plain, dated roadside type motel with inadequate parking, no services, no lobby.

We loved the easy access to hiking trails and the ease of using the shuttle bus to get to/from different parts of the park. The only negative we have was the ability to keep our room at a cool temperature. We had to open our windows all night, even with snow coming down outside.

It was AWESOME to be on the rim of the canyon for sunset, stargazing, and sunrise! Check-in was a little confusing as you need to go to a different building. Parking was limited.

Great cozy location
