We were plesantly surprised by our stay at the Thunderbird. We stayed at Grand Canyon for two nights and had tried to stay at El Tovar both nights as it is considered the nicest in the park. Although we liked our stay at El Tovar, our room was extremely small. Entering our Thunderbird room was a pleasant surprise. It was... More

Stayed with a group tour at Thurnderbird Lodge--had a view of the South Rim and close access to Bright Angel Trail. Woke up to elk grazing outside my window and a view of the sunrise and the South Rim. Nothing remarkable about the hotel--it's clean and comfortable, steps away from the dining room and gift shop. But the location (as... More

My review echoes what many have said before here on Trip Advisor and this helped influence my own choice to stay at the Thunderbird Lodge recently. It's a little dated and certainly not fancy or a 5-star hotel. But the location is incredible and when you wake up and open the shades, you see the Grand Canyon! Only a few... More

Anywhere else this would just be an average hotel. What you are paying for is being right on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The room was clean and comfortable. We also stayed at the Bright Angel in a cabin for one night and at the El Tovar. It would be a toss up for me to stay at the... More

We called on the day that we were driving up to the Canyon on the off chance that there would be a vacancy and lo and behold, they had a cancellation. We stayed one night. Everything was great. Simple, clean room with all the amenities. Parking was difficult to find, but that was to be expected. The only inconvenience was... More

third time in this property. loved the view got a view not of the grand canyon but of deer grazing in the grass in front of our room. everything was right from the in room coffee machine to the bed. small bathroom though

I had low expectations when I booked this hotel, but I was very surprised how nice it is. It isn't luxurious by any means and yes, it is overpriced, but in this case I didn't mind. The rooms are much nicer in person than they look on the Xanterra website. The carpets and draperies looked brand new and everything else... More

This hotel is footsteps from the South rim. Yes you can save some money by staying outside the park but it is very easy to go and see sunrise when you are staying at the rim. You have to check in at the Bright Angel Lodge. Our room was small with a king bed. It was clean and so was... More
