Thunderbird Lodge - Inside the Park

Nice hotel, at the canyon rim. Parking a little tight. Comfortable room. Quiet. Nearby restaurants have a full range of menus. Wait staff is exceptional.

Our stay at The Thunderbird Lodge was wonderful and one we will always remember. Everything was perfect. We dined at the Steakhouse and had breakfast at El Tovar. Both were exceptional. Staying inside the park and on the Rim is one of the great bucket list experiences of life!

Spectacular views, starry evening walks on the rim, beautiful sunrise, fantastic service, great rooms. A delicious dinner in the Bright Angel steak house.

Got a room last minute in a February week that was warm. Rooms very clean and solid. Had a room on the first floor and could see the canyon from our window. We were right on the rim. Took a sunset bus ride with a very good guide. The rim hotels are all very close to each other! Very nice. But dark at night!

Thunder ridhe lodge was great location!

Great location on the South Rim in the village. Within walking distance of the rim walk. We were in a partial view room which was great , double queen, mini fridge, coffee maker, desk and chair. The check- in was at the Bright Angel Lodge with in a short walking distance. Would love to stay again.

Amazing location and clean facilities. Enjoyed dining in El Tovar, Dining Cafe & Steakhouse. Prime rib at the steakhouse is a must order dish ~ hubby & son ordered it and couldn’t stop talking about it! Mule ride down the canyon with a garden picnic was an exhilarating experience ~ my son & I did it and what a memorable experience! Hubby & daughter also enjoyed their half day mule ride around the rim. Overall, we created amazing and lasting memories as a family ~ thank you!

Great place to stay. Controls for AC/Heat need to be updated. Due to a condition which requires cooler room temperature, had to leave window open (temp outside went in the low 30's) because temperature controls lacked the ability to cool room.

My family loved being able to stay on the south rim of the canyon. Our rooms at the Thunderbird lodge were clean and comfortable. The view of the canyon was wonderful. Our only complaint was that there is no elevator which made it challenging to get the luggage up to the 2nd floor.

This hotel is in a great location. I could actually see the Grand Canyon from the window in my room. The room was on the small side and is in great need of updating. There is no elevator in this hotel. The bathroom was small but had a nice heat lamp and a nice shower head. The towels were small and hard. Not much room at the sink. There was no room on the wall side of the beds. The TV was small. You can see deer and elk roaming the grounds. The reception area had a really nice gift shop.

Words are not adequate to describe the Grand Canyon. It must be seen and seen repeatedly. A must to visit. We will plan to return!

We cant say enough about the location and we actually loved our 'partial view'. The room is dated which we knew ahead of time, but the walls were so dusty that we could write our names in them by the lamplight at night and the toilet barely flushed. We ended up using the toilet at the banquet down the hall (which was extremely clean and modern) because we did not want to see our own waste 2 or 3 times while we kept flushing. The fridge froze the fresh food we brought and the room coffee was, well, not equivalent to the room price. Honestly, the location is so amazing that we might stay again, but it is too bad that they can continue to collect because of the location without making the experience a bit more commensurate with the price.

A small bathroom full of wet towels is not conducive to reuse of the linens. But housekeeping-on-demand is the policy at Thunderbird, and only if you request it a day in advance, which we did, and nothing happened, until we literally stalked a housekeeper.

The wastebasket filled up and the recycle bin filled up and the Kleenex ran out. But housekeeping-on-demand is the policy at Thunderbird, and only if you request it a day in advance, which we did, and nothing happened, until we literally stalked a housekeeper.

We were here for a four day stay and found this lack of room attention a pretty poor policy. Oh, and by the way, the flush handle on the toilet was loose and the toilet paper holder barely stayed on the wall. The WiFi was sketchy. Hauling luggage up the stairs was a chore. And finding parking was like Christmas at the Mall.

All you get in return is to stay on the rim of the Grand Canyon.

Yeah, we'll be back.

The property is located right on the rim trail. However the view of the canyon was obstructed by the roof of the lower floor. The room was dated but comfortable. The staff was very helpful and helped us with our suitcases. Parking adjacent to the building was limited but plenty of parking near the Bright Angel lodge which is a five minute walk. The location was perfect, being right next to the canyon and a short walk to the shuttle for the Hermit’s rest. There are two restaurants next to it. One right across from the parking lot and the other inside the Bright Angel Lodge.

Photos online do not compliment the property at all, but we took a gamble and found that it was a great place to stay, and we had a great time!

The location was very nice and so good atmosphere.

The Thunderbird Lodge is a great place to stay when visiting the GC Village. It is centrally located with very easy access to the shuttle buses and walking trails. The staff is efficient and very helpful. Good restaurants are withing walking distance. Highly recommend the Thunderbird Lodge.

Our tour group stayed one night at this lodge. We were lucky our room faced the rim. Amenities in room were fine and so were the beds. Room included a coffee pot which we really like. Towels were fluffy. Our breakfast was included and the food and service was excellent.

Hotel was clean and in an excellent location but outdated

The view is incredible and the location is convenient to other amenities however, it is very confusing to find parking and the room is somewhat outdated
