This hotel is right on the rim of the canyon with easy walking access to other lodges and restaurants. Spacious room and comfortable beds. We lucked out and found parking right next to the end entrance by Arizona Steakhouse.

Can't beat the location

Okay - you aren't staying at the Ritz. Beds are okay, bathrooms are okay, but the location cannot be beat. You are staying on the Rim for an affordable cost. I honestly would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the musty smell. We had to have the windows open the entire time and with the heat, this wasn't ideal.

Facility needs a complete "facelift" ... very dated!

These facilities are not be kept up to "working order". EVERYTHING is very dated (old) and sort of works. For the money ($350 per night) I would expect a hotel that is very well taken care of, all amenities in top-notch condition, microwaves in the room, etc. What. you need to expect is a facility that's being maintained "just enough" to stay operational.

We were so lucky to get a room at Thunderbird! The location of this lodge is great, within walking distance to almost everything, and the shuttle bus stops at the foot of the hill in front of the lodge. We will definitely stay here again if we get to return to the a Grand Canyon.
