Very friendly staff, large comfortable rooms and great value. Food is good and fast, cafeteria style. The location is perfect, you are quickly at Yavapai geology museum, you are as quickly to Hermitage road to start driving or hike down on the Angel trail. Nice and quiet place! Restful.

We stayed at Yavapai for one night to explore the park. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Rooms were nice and clean! Had everything we needed. Everything was in walking distance for us. We cannot wait to return and bring our family!

We were pleasantly surprised with the Yavipai. It was clean and comfortable and quiet. Yavapai Lodge is the only hotel in the Grand Canyon National Park South Rim to allow dogs. That is why we chose it. Close proximity by car to the El Tovar for dining. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was hot and had good pressure. I would stay there again if traveling with my dog.

My husband and I stayed here a couple nights in July because we were traveling with a friend who needed a dog friendly room. Yavapai is the only hotel/motel within the GCNP South Rim to allow dogs. The other alternative is the kennel. Our friend was happy either her dog friendly room, which was very similar to our nearby Yavapai room. My husband and I were pleasantly impressed with our well-maintained Yavapai Lodge room and comfortable bed. Our room was away from the hustle and bustle of the South Rim. We spent a little peaceful time sitting outside on some comfortable Adirondack chairs. We had a parking spot directly in front of our room. In exchange for a quiet setting we drove to dinner and the other Grand Canyon Village sites we wanted to visit. The busstop was not all that close to our particular Yavapai Lodge motel building. We normally stay in Kachina Lodge, which has a spectacular view of the Rim and is near key activities. Right after our stay at Yavapai, my husband and I spent a couple nights at Kachina. Our bed at Yavapai Lodge was more comfortable than the more expensive bed at Kachina! It made me think twice that Kachina needs to improve its game. I do not recommend the food at the Yavapai Lodge.

Great value compared to the other lodges in the park. A short walk from the lodge building itself which offers food. Easy parking. Lovely modern, well appointed rooms but absolutely terrible pillows. For that reason alone I wouldn’t stay there again.
