On a group trip with seniors. First they had no knowledge of reserved handicap room. Second day we all arrived back to discover our keys had been shut off. Many excuses and lies from front desk. Told all rooms had an electronics problem. The hour we sat outside waiting for someone to respond we noticed people coming and going in the next building from ours. Seems someone shut our group down after one night instead of the two we were reserved. Front desk told tour guide maintenance would be right there, he arrived and after a couple minutes disappeared. Meanwhile we can't get to our rooms to use bathroom, put our stuff away, clean up and change for dinner. Very rustic which was expected, but room could be cleaner, refrigerator did not work, window was bolted shut, "housekeeping" was changing out wet towels, period. Amenities says fan, no fan, could not cool room so it was too warm to sleep. TV had very limited selections and terrible service. Dining room short handed, plastic utensils, cranberry juice empty both mornings, mediocre food.

So first, staying in GC village/Market area is great and so much easier so it gets the 5 stars for location. Room was super confortable and easy walking to the market area which has agreat super market. Shower was great (which we needed after hiking( A few caveats. They do NOT have wifi in the rooms but the have good cell reception so can use that. But be aware if that is a big thing for you

If You would like to spend some days in the G.C.N.P. this is a good choice. For me a bit overpriced but fair solution. The meal services (Dining room/Tavern) are not a high quality. The grossery shop is excellent.

Our room had 2 queen size beds and were not comfortable with 2 people. 2 night stay we had to sleep in separate beds. All the normal stuff in the room and bathroom was adequate. No wi-fi. Clean. The large grocery store and dining/gift/coffee shop was a short & easy 5 minute walk. Check-in & out was easy. Wi-fi, food & coffee was good. No kitchen or cooking.

Our cottage was clean, comfy and rustic. I found the food at the lodge to be excellent. Plus, the general store is really special. Most importantly, you’re about a two minute drive from one of the most jaw dropping sites in the planet. I enthusiastically recommend Yavapai Lodge to one and all.
