Top Watchtower Hotel Reviews

Maswik Lodge - Inside the Park

8/10 Good

"Cafeteria was very convenient"

Yavapai Lodge

8/10 Good

"This is a basic hotel in the park. Clean and we were able to drive down the road 3 minutes and watch the sunrise. We were able to see sunset and sunrise in the park. If that’s important to you great, If you’re not doing that and you’re looking for activities like pool, etc I think you would be just fine staying outside the park. It’s probably about 20 minutes to other places. I think if you come to the Grand Canyon, you want to see it. The pool is at any hotel."

The Grand Hotel at the Grand Canyon

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was better than I expected. It was very clean (like new), and conveniently located near the Grand Canyon. The steakhouse restaurant was very good. There were plenty of other food/ice cream/souvenirs/tour businesses within two blocks of the hotel. Overall, it was a very good experience at the Grand Canyon."

Bright Angel Lodge – Inside the Park

8/10 Good

"This lodge was super cute! You could walk right outside your lodge and walk less than 25 feet to the rim of the Grand Canyon. We hoped with the cooler weather that the room would cool off, but no luck. It was worth the one night stay to be that close to see the sunset in the night we checked in and the sunrise the morning of checking out. Breakfast at Harvey’s Cafe was delicious too!"
