Quiet. Our room was located in one of several two story buildings separate from the check in building. The room was clean. Had a mini fridge and Keurig machine for coffee and tea. Staff was friendly. Bathroom had a heating lamp. At the time we visited, there was no internet available in the rooms but it was free in the lobby and dining areas. Great place to stay. Also great location- close to general store and shuttle stop.

Loved my stay here. Quick walking distance to the shuttles to get to the main village and the hiking trails. Check-in/out was seamless. They even let us keep the custom wooden room keys at no charge !

The rooms at the Lodge were very nice, clean and comfortable. Wasn't not happy that the only breakfast was there grab and go it was good however, they have a cafeteria that served bus groups but not the other guest?? We also tried to get lunch or dinner there and it wasn't open. Thank goodness for the store but it wasn't a sit down restaurant. There is other places to get meals but it would have been nice to have on site.

We had a wonderful stay at Yavapai Lodge. The unit we stayed in was quiet and located a short walk (via a paved path) from the main lodge, general store, and bus stop. We were able to park right in front of our unit, too. The room was clean and comfortable. It contained a mini fridge but not a microwave, which was a little disappointing. I heard there was a microwave in the main lodge but did not go looking for it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this motel for a stay at Grand Canyon. You can't beat the proximity to all the splendor of the park.

This was a convenient place to stay in the Grand Canyon. The visitor center is a short walk or shuttle ride. There is a Keirig and mini fridge in the room, but no microwave. We did have a rather lengthy wait for our pre-requested rollaway bed. It finally arrived after everyone was asleep.

This is NOT a nice place to stay (for the money it costs) it is very run down and the staff is RUDE. We ate at some of the other lodges inside the park and they were MUCH nicer! Example: We asked for THREE DAYS for our trash to be taken out, there is no where for you to empty it yourself (or we would have) which made it even more frustrating. I cannot emphasize enough how awful the staff will treat you. There are plenty of other places to stay inside the Grand Canyon, save yourself the headache and the possible dampening of your vacation and just pick one of the other hotels. You will regret staying at this one I assure you.

Large rooms, appeared to be recently refreshed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Everything we needed and more. Personally did not care for the soap, shampoo, creme rinse provided, but certainly not a big deal. Like the format which eliminates the small bottles.

While the hotel is very nice & the staff are very helpful and friendly I have to comment about the quietness of the rooms. We were on the first floor and the walls and ceiling are like paper. We could hear stomping over the ceiling all night and early morning. The place was full of families with young kids so we were awakened by kids running up and down the hallway yelling and screaming very early in the morning. I mainly blame parents for not silencing them. It is an older hotel so it’s not surprising that the walls provide limited insulation from sound. Most people probably wouldn’t care but if you’re a light sleeper like me it will be a factor. This is why I’m posting a review. Other than that it’s a good hotel.

Off course the location is great, but the room was horrible with musty suffocating smell. It was bad as my son has asthma and was too bad even for a lodge. Too pricey for the room and service.

The hotel is basically fine. The HVAC system is loud enough that you turn it off at night. The staff was pleasant and when our first room reeked of mold, they quickly moved us to a good room. It's a bit saddening to see litter outside and in the parking lot. In the end you are there for the canyon and the rest is no big deal.

The property, the park and the Market store were good, The Market Cafe was understaffed leading to long delays for breakfast on day 1, on day 2 they had no breakfast items available so we went over to the Grab n Go where the line went out the door so long delays, other guests were leaving to go to McDonalds

It was SO dark on the property. We got in late, and heading from the parking lot into the building was hard. We were tripping on pinecones and the curb. I realize they are trying to keep light pollution low, but a few more lights even smaller ones would have been nice
