Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As soon as we entered the room, we could smell a sewage/mold odor throughout the space. The bed seemed old and sagged in the middle, making it uncomfortable for the back while sleeping. Considering its age, the condition is acceptable, but in terms of price, it does not offer good value.

Disliked: Staff & service
No staff available in this hotel. Need to check in a different place. Parking is a joke. Had to park half a mile away. They advertise for free parking is a scam. basically, the hotel doesn't have any designated parking of its own. Broken chair was a bonus. Expensive considering the condition.

Perfect location for the Grand Canyon

Thunderbird Lodge was the perfect location for our 3-night stay to visit the Grand Canyon. Our room was no more than 20 metres from the edge of the canyon itself and the South Rim Trail passes through the site of the village's main hotel / lodge area, so it's super easy to access the trail whenever you like. Staff were really friendly and we found the prices of food and gifts in the shops to be reasonable - especially given you're a captive audience!

Pros: The Grand Canyon outside your door. Welcoming and friendly staff, great food options - and no judgement when you walk into a high end dining room in shorts and a t-shirt (hadn’t expected to be eating there…), great vintage room - with really comfortable beds and a strong shower. Cons: leaving. Highly recommend.

Amazing property right on the Rim Trail of the Grand Canyon. Comfortable beds, clean and tidy. Parking is difficult - no dedicated parking sports so you have to take your chances of finding a spot on the public roads along with the thousands of other visitors.

Grand surprise

I had no idea when booking that a "partial view" meant being right on the canyon rim with a tree or two in the way. We had an ADA room that was perfect, with its own sidewalk to the room (no steps) and the bathroom was spacious. Two chairs so we could look out the window from inside or sit on our little entry patio.
