My son and I stayed at the Maswik Lodge for one night. Our room was very big and clean, however, it was in desperate need of updating. There was also a musty kind of smell in the room. Our trip was a last minute trip so I was grateful to get a room in the park. The food court at the Maswik is okay. Nothing special, but good enough. One last comment. There were not a lot of outlets in our room. I had brought along an extension cord with three extra outlets, which proved to be very useful. I would recommend a stay here, but do not expect a high end hotel.

I've never stayed in a national park so I'm not sure if they all are as eco friendly as this one but it was so nice to see! Our room had a sliding door that lead to a patio which was really nice. It is walking distance to the canyon.

I had low expectations based on prior review but was pleasantly surprised. The room was large and comfortable. We even had a little outside deck with chairs. The bathroom was large and adequate. Most importantly the location was excellent and we rarely used our car inside the park. We could walk to the canyon rim, red loop bus stop, food court and other restaurants.

Over the years, I've stayed at every hotel/motel at the South Rim. A recent stay at the Maswik Lodge confirmed my belief that this motel is, for most people, the best option. The rooms are large and fairly modern. The staff is professional and helpful. And the location away from the Rim makes for a quiet stay. You're more likely to see mule deer or elk wandering the grounds than tourists. You get more for your money at Maswick Lodge.

Before reviewing the Maswik Lodge, I must say ... it is totally worth it to stay right in the park, if you can. The convenience of being right at the Grand Canyon is a real positive in many ways. We enjoyed our stay at Maswik Lodge. Quite honestly, I was expecting much less, but our room was spacious, well-equipped and very clean. It is a very quick walk to the Grand Canyon rim, and it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle around the other hotels. Once when walking through the woods back to the lodge, there were two elk standing beside the path. They didn't bother us (or us, them), and we were able to see them up close. The food was totally adequate - of course it depends on what you order - but we found that we were able to eat healthily enough, the food was tasty, and we found the portions to be fine as well. Overall, a very good experience here. And the Grand Canyon was magnificent.
