We stayed in two different rooms at The Thunderbird Lodge. The first was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was nice and strong. The second was not quite clean, and the lock on the door didn’t work, so we piled our luggage in front of the door before going to sleep. The best part, however, was that the hotel was right on the rim of the Grand Canyon- truly breathtaking.

old space but well maintained. I loved having a hot bath after a cold hike! Room with partial view still had all the gorgeousness needed.

Thunderbird Lodge is a great place to stay in Grand Canyon Village. It sits between Bright Angel Lodge and the El Tovar Hotel so you're close to the restaurants at both places but have the peace of a place that doesn't have other guests walking through. Our room was cozy and had everything we needed and parking was easy when we visited in January. This place gets a thumbs up from us!

Room was clean, staff was great. Lodge is showing it's age, we had to call to get the shower started. But the location is nice the Grand Canyon is right outside your window.

Room was adequate for our needs. Obviously this is an older property. Bathroom size was far from being adequate, but it is what it is.
