The hotel is located right on the rim, making it easy to experience breathtaking sunsets and sunrises. Rooms are environmentally friendly but are on the small side, not suitable for families of four. Service was friendly, although some tools were left around until requested to be moved. The location offers stunning views but lacks reserved parking.

The hotel's location is superb, nestled between El Tovar and Bright Angel, offering easy access to the Grand Canyon's rim. The rooms were adequate, clean, and comfortable, although not extraordinary.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Grand Canyon, offering easy access to the rim and various activities the Grand Canyon village has to offer. The rooms are clean and spacious, but the bathrooms are on the smaller side. The service from the staff is friendly and efficient, making our stay delightful. Dining at the on-site Harvey House in Bright Angel Lodge provides a great view of the Grand Canyon. Despite the lack of reserved parking, the location saves lots of time, but it can be a hassle for evening dining options outside the lodge.
Staying at the lodge was a mix of convenience and noise. While the location was superb for exploring the National Park, the room facing the parking lot and train depot was a bit noisy compared to the modern rooms nearby. The service was generally good, with pleasant staff, but there were minor issues like landscaping tools left unattended. Dining at Harvey House offered some nice options, especially for poultry dishes, but with mixed experiences like issues with my coffee cup. Overall, a decent stay with some trade-offs to consider.
My stay at the hotel was just fine. The room had a Keurig machine with K-cup coffees and teas, and it was clean and quiet. The service was accommodating, very friendly, and helpful with my questions. The location was fabulous, close to Maswick, Bright Angel, and the South Rim shuttle stop. The dining experience at Harvey House in Bright Angel Lodge offered a great view of the Grand Canyon. On the downside, navigating the half flights of stairs was a bit up-and-down, and the parking situation was not ideal between the Kachina and Thunderbird.
The hotel's location is spectacular, right next to the Grand Canyon rim and between El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodges, offering dining choices on either side. The rooms have been beautifully rehabbed, clean, with good bathrooms, comfortable beds, and functional amenities. The service was accommodating despite unexpected snow, with valet parking. Dining options are available at Harvey House and El Tovar, providing a pleasant experience. The facilities are well-maintained, though not exceptional.

Overall, a good choice if you want a prime location.

The dining experience offered a great view of the Grand Canyon, although it was a bit tricky to find. The facilities met my expectations for a comfortable stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few letdowns. The rooms were clean and nice, similar to Kachina, though I'm not sure I would choose Kachina again. The service was friendly and efficient, but the snow was unexpected. The location is superb with easy access to the Grand Canyon, though parking can be a hassle. Dining at Harvey House offered a beautiful Grand Canyon view, yet takeaway options were limited.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, with lovely and comfortable rooms that offered a spectacular view. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, making my experience delightful. The location couldn't have been better, right on the rim for easy access to the canyon and dining options. The dining experience with a great view was a highlight, but some rush back to their hotels for spots can be a minor inconvenience.
The hotel offers adequate, clean, and comfortable rooms that are good for a national park hotel. While on the small side, it is priced $125 more than a quieter, more modern room a short walk away at Yavapai Lodge. The service was friendly overall, with some minor issues like landscaping tools left on windows. The location is very convenient for exploring the Grand Canyon attractions, dining, and enjoying sunset and sunrise views right on the rim. The dining experience offered refined dishes but lacked some refinements in service. The facilities are satisfactory for a national park hotel.
