I had a mixed experience at Yavapai Lodge. The location was super convenient for exploring the Grand Canyon, and I appreciated the cozy tavern nearby. However, I encountered several cleanliness issues in my room, and the dining options were disappointing. I also ran into problems with Wi-Fi access and cell service during my stay.

Yavapai Lodge is an excellent choice for those wanting to stay right in the park. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is accommodating. The location is unbeatable, giving easy access to trails and the general store. However, the Wi-Fi is quite poor, and the dining options are somewhat limited. Overall, it’s a good value for money considering its location.

I had a wonderful stay in a comfortable, clean room situated in a perfect location. The proximity to the Grand Canyon's best lookout was a huge bonus, and the amenities nearby made my stay even more enjoyable. While the dining experience was good, I found the breakfast buffet could use a few more options. The Wi-Fi was only available in communal areas, which was slightly inconvenient, but it didn't ruin my experience at all.

Staying at Yavapai Lodge has its perks, especially with its location right inside the park, making it easy to catch sunrises and sunsets. The rooms are pretty basic and a bit outdated, but they work fine for a short stay. The dining options were decent, though a bit pricey. Just be prepared for slow check-in and limited amenities like Wi-Fi and cell service.

Staying at Yavapai Lodge was certainly a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were clean and spacious, perfect for families, and the location is unbeatable for exploring the Grand Canyon. Although the staff was nice and helpful, the Wi-Fi connectivity was quite limited, and we didn't get a receipt for our stay. The rustic charm of the old lodge adds to its character, making it a great spot for a short getaway.

Yavapai Lodge was surprising as the rooms exceeded my expectations considering the setting. However, I was less impressed with the cafeteria experience, which was quite disappointing. The location inside the park is convenient, but the issues with dining and navigation could use improvement.

I had a reasonably good stay at this hotel, appreciating the tidy rooms and the excellent location.

I had a pleasant stay in the East room section, where everything was clean and comfortable. The shower could be better, but the bathroom was neat. It was great to have a coffee/market shop right next door for quick grabs. However, my experience was overshadowed by the surprise switch to Yavapai Lodge West, which lacked air conditioning and felt like a downgrade. I felt misled about my booking, which ruined my initial excitement and left me frustrated with customer service.

This lodge is a peaceful retreat within the park, perfect for escaping the heat with its air conditioning. The staff is helpful, and the on-site restaurant and mini-mart are convenient. However, be prepared for long walks to the shuttle stops, especially if you're in a building far from the main lodge, and keep in mind that the rooms could use some updating.

We had a comfortable stay at this lodge with its convenient location close to the park amenities. While the rooms were clean and served their purpose well, the lack of air conditioning might be a concern for some, especially in warmer weather. The staff were helpful, but the check-in process could be improved as it felt a bit disorganized. Overall, it was a decent place to rest after exploring, though the Wi-Fi and cellular service left much to be desired.

Yavapai Lodge is a decent option within the Grand Canyon, offering easy access to the park and comfortable rooms. The location is fantastic for exploring, but the dining experience wasn't impressive, and the service was hit or miss. Overall, it’s a solid choice, especially if you want to stay inside the park, but don’t expect much from the food.

Staying at Yavapai Lodge was a great experience, especially for those wanting to be right in the middle of the canyon's beauty. The rooms were spacious and mostly comfortable, but summer visitors should consider their AC preference. The on-site dining options were a definite highlight, with generous portions and a cozy atmosphere. However, the check-in process could be improved, and staying near the stairs can be noisy.
