We had previously stayed at this lodge several years ago, what a difference! The room was updated and very comfortable, the front desk staff were amazing. The Market was beautiful and well stocked with anything you needed. We had dinner at the Tavern. Perfect Spot to catch the shuttle to start your day at the Grand Canyon. We stayed here to avoid waiting in line at the entry to the Park.

I'll just start by saying you're paying 100 percent for the location. The location is perfect and close to everything. We walked everywhere. The room is basic but it's clean. That's about the best I can say about it. The sheets were very rough, the bed wasn't the most comfortable, and walls were extremely thin. We could hear every cough, sneeze, and even normal voices of our neighbors. The restaurant at the resort is cafeteria style and it's buffet food. There seemed to be alot of confusion for everyone about how the while thing worked & didn't seen to be many people working. The tavern wasn't much different. It was freezing cold (most seating is outside) and people had to ask before any heaters were turned on. My soup was lukewarm even after I sent it back. Overall If you just need a place to sleep while you're at the park all day, I'd recommend it. It's a clean room with a great location.

Inside park but not on the rim (15 min walk to rim), best if you have your own car (plenty of close parking). Lodging buildings 7+ min walk from reception building. restaurant in reception building serves only breakfast and dinner, pub/bar serves pretty good food, but can take a while. small café/food counter in the grocery store across the parking lot has limited seating. rooms are OK, as expected for in-Park lodging. Rollaway mattress is very uncomfortable, after layering several blankets on top, it was fine for a child/teen. wi-Fi didn’t work. We did not spend much time in the room. reception kindly brought over extra towels and blankets late at night. Free park shuttle ride 10-15 minutes to the Bright Angel Lodge, check postings at the shuttle stops, doesn’t always match online schedule.

Fantastic experience! I travelled with my dog and the hotel staff was not only friendly but welcomed us both warmly. There was even a built-in crate for my dog in the room! Location is fabulous for the entire Grand Canyon experience-right in the heart of where you want to be. Loved this hotel and would stay again in a heartbeat!

The staff at Yavapai Lodge did an excellent job dealing with the 3-day snowstorm. Timely and quick snow removal from the walkways and entrances. Great location to easily access Mather Point and the Visitor's Center. Front desk staff was helpful with travel conditions/updates upon checking out.
