We traveled here in March 2024 and truly enjoyed our visit. Our room had a partial view of the canyon and we loved it!!!! It was cozy and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant in the lodge twice and enjoyed the meal. The wait at dinner time was about an hour though, so be prepared! There was some construction going on near the lodge but it didn't really interfere with our visit very much.

Charming but loud.

There is much to like about this place. The biggest problem, staying in the Powell building, was the noise. The doors banging were very annoying. The walls were paper-thin and we could clearly hear conversations next door. We didn't sleep well for two nights. The positives: The staff at the front desk was helpful and efficient. The room, was small but it was perfectly clean and pretty up-to-date without losing its vintage charm. The shared showers, again-very small, were all remodeled and very clean. We didn't mind this feature at all. It is a very good value for the dollar spent.

Best Choice in the Park

If you're visiting the Grand Canyon, it's best to stay in the park. And if you're staying in the park, the Bright Angel cabins are the best choice. All of the park lodgings are on the rustic side, if you're used to staying at Marriotts and such. But in return, you get charm, character, history, and an unbeatable location. Bright Angel delivers on those characteristics more than the other park lodgings. Our two cabins were small but had everything we needed. Unlike what I've seen in other reviews, the carpet and chair in our room appeared to be brand new, and most everything else was relatively new and clean - much more updated than our rooms at El Tovar on our last visit. El Tovar might have a grander lobby and a better restaurant, but you can stroll over to take advantage of those and then come "home" to a quieter, better quality room at Bright Angel. After hearing horror stories from others about how stressful it was to visit the Grand Canyon, we were pleasantly surprised to get two great cabins, a parking spot ten feet from our front door, and the canyon rim thirty feet beyond that. This made for an ideal visit for our family.

Easy Access to the Bright Angel Trail and Excellent Views, Questionable "WiFi" Service

Great location – just steps away from an awesome view. The VERY sporadic WiFi service was disappointing and frustrating. Parking area by the lodge was full so we had to park on the other side of the railroad tracks and carry our luggage up the steps and over the tracks. We booked a room with a bathroom, but no shower. While we knew our room wouldn't have a shower, it was an overall uncomfortable experience using a shower room that had been used by multiple strangers (with varying ideas of cleanliness) between cleanings and I wouldn't recommend it. Also, some of the shower rooms were locked and unavailable during our entire stay. Overheard one of the housekeepers complain about how quickly hotel management expected them to clean each room.

Great cabin directly on the rim

My wife and teen daughter spent 3 nights here. Cabin was right on the rim with spectacular view of the canyon from our room. Very, very charming. Had all the modern conveniences. Wifi was slow, though. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom on the small side but adequate. Walls were thin and we could hear neighbors. Nice staff. The main lodge itself was historic, charming, and we enjoyed eating at the restaurant. Surprisingly affordable for the location and amenities. It wasn't a luxury experience by any means, but the location and low price made us very happy.
