We stayed the night to get an early start in the Bright Angel Trail. The room was spacious clean and comfortable. The proximity to our hike was excellent. Good place great people.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location for the Grand Canyon

Thunderbird Lodge was the perfect location for our 3-night stay to visit the Grand Canyon. Our room was no more than 20 metres from the edge of the canyon itself and the South Rim Trail passes through the site of the village's main hotel / lodge area, so it's super easy to access the trail whenever you like. Staff were really friendly and we found the prices of food and gifts in the shops to be reasonable - especially given you're a captive audience!
Neil, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Parking isn’t ideal but worth the hassle since it is within steps from the canyon rim. Everything you need amenity wise is close by either in the lodge or next door
