Excellent location for the GC. Free shuttle buses make it easy to leave the car outside the room and get around. Rooms are very spread out in blocks....we were furthest from the reception/restaurant/bar and it was a difficult, dark walk back on our first night...almost got lost....need a torch/phone torch....a few solar lights along the path would be good. The room was ok, smaller than some I have been in on this holiday. The bathroom needed updating. No breakfast included....cafeteria system where you book & pay on a board (like McDonalds) and collect at a counter....food similar standard....not particularly impressed. Ate 1 evening in the Tavern....OK, but they got a part of our order wrong. Coke tasted weird....not canned. Had breakfast from Starbucks one morning...croissants could have been a little fresher or warmed up. Overall, it was a good location, but the general impression was one of needing a few changes for the money we paid.

Good size room overlooking woodland at rear of block. Clean and quiet. Restaurant is below average, order on a touch screen, like McDonalds, and then served food by servers like school dinners. Quality is similar to school dinners as well. If staying here use the free shuttle buses to get around as parking is a nightmare during busy periods.

We stayed in Yavapai East which was well situated on the Blue Shuttle route. The room has a fridge, but no microwave. The building and ground floor room in which we stayed need upgrades badly. Rates are exorbitant to be in the park. Next time, we will just fork out the money for El Tovar or head to the North Rim. The desk clerk we encountered should consider a different line of work as he was less than welcoming.

Location and location. That’s the first thing I have to say about this place. Walking distance to a restaurant and shuttle services. The rooms were clean and had all the basic amenities like fridge, dryer , iron and iron board. It also had a keurig machine. The bathrooms had full sized toiletries. Room size was decent. The staff at the front desk were friendly. The closeness to the Deli and restaurant made our meals convenient. Will definitely recommend if you want to enjoy the canyon in a short time. Saves a lot of time. Don’t expect the rooms to be like 5 star. But they were very comfortable and had everything I needed. Will definitely recommend to stay.

Outstanding location in the Grand Canyon National Park as close to restaurants, grocery store, coffee and ice cream, shuttle etc. Lodging complex consists of 16 buildings and a main lodge surrounded by woodlands. Having the general store close by saved us money as we were able to pick up breakfast and lunch items. The rooms are basic but clean hence why the budget choice. Loved that you are surrounded by nature. The shower sucked but did the job.
