Location, location, location! My husband and I stayed in a Bright Angel Lodge cabin with bathroom with a view of the canyon right from the door. Bucket list! The cabin does not have air conditioning so we had to be very purposeful to keep everything closed during the day and then open everything up at night plus keep the fans going. The room and linens were very clean but I was a little put off by their bagless wastebaskets in the room, especially for bathroom garbage :S. There is no housekeeping services unless requested so be proactive if you want fresh towels, garbage removal and the like. Parking, for the hotel/cabins, is not reserved or assigned so a lot of people parked in the hotel area who were hiking the canyon day trail below. We arrived later in the evening so there were plenty of spaces but if you arrive between late morning and mid afternoon, it could be a struggle. We saw many people go get their vehicles and bring them closer to their cabin later in the evenings. The bus stop for the shuttle that goes along the rim, and around the village, is just down from the cabins and is close enough even for those with some mobility issues. The main lodge has a restaurant and cocktail lounge as well as a well appointed gift shop. Overall, you're paying for the location but it was well worth it for this Canadian couple!

Well, ai did write a view last night but wanted to be fare about the location and the view, which if you choose the upper cabins it is super awesome views and cooker then bottom cabins. To start with was not really clean room, very thin walls so my goodness you hear everything outside. Yes they do have fan but it doesn’t help when outside is so hot even with the windows being open and the door. It gets cooler in the room probably after midnight ish and morning were very pleasant and lovely. Hotel didn’t offer any complimentary tea or coffee at the lobby ( yes you had them in the room, but most hotels have complimentary teas and coffees) this was our 1 month rood trip so yes we did stay in many different hotels. My personal opinion for what you pay for, it was not worth it apart from saying “stayed at the historic hotel) if you are ok with less than average stay. Oh and to top it with they will not make your room in every day, only after 3rd day because of Covid was their excuse, really? You are open %100 except cleaning part, what a joke .

Location Location Location. Strongly recommend staying here right on the rim, it means you are on location to maximise your visit to the grand canyon. Not only are you in the park you can literally step out of our room and be on the rim. The real beauty you are feet from the rim so you are right on site with minimal effort and pop back to room in-between all on foot in 2 mins walk. - watch sunset - watch sunrise - stargaze - 5 mins walk to hermits rest transfer stops for both main shuttle lines - cafe, bar, shop, restaurant all on site of Bright Angel. So we were able to watch sunset, grab some sleep, then in early hours go out on rim walk a little way down from cabin and star gaze seeing the milky way, grab some more sleep, and then get up for sunrise - you cant do that unless you on the rim without a real hassle. The partial rim view cabin itself was adequate, uninspiring, clean, comfortable with a bathroom but no actual real view. A TV but no watchable signal. Parking was a concern but but the location is worth the effort. If no spaces in front of hotel there were more around by cabins nearer kolb studio and both evenings there were multiple spaces by around dusk if you need to park in day elsewhere and move. Over the decades ive stayed outside the park in flagstaff, at maswick lodge and now bright angel lodge - and this location is worth the effort and cost for the ability to be on the rim. yes bright angel rim cabin was overpriced for the room amenities but you are paying for the location.

We were very pleased with our room and location, which was located on the Rim Walk. Lodge itself was lovely. Convenient location to see the sun rise. Friendly front desk. We did not try the restaurant. Close to El Tovar for eating. We would stay here again.

Our family stayed here one night at the beginning of June. The location is great and the room was adequate but the walls were extremely thin and the parking situation was really frustrating. After a long day of driving, it would have been nice to have designated parking for lodge guests. We are glad we stayed but were thankful it was only one night and have no plans to return.
