Top South Rim Hotel Reviews

Yavapai Lodge

Yavapai Lodge

8/10 Good
"We booked the East Wing & the room was clean with no problems. Unfortunately we arrived when the flash flood happened so weโ€™re moved after our first night. Front desk were very unhelpful! We were left without a room as had to check out and couldnโ€™t check into the next hotel outside the park for several hours. The situation couldโ€™ve been dealt with far better with help from the front desk, rather than them leaving us to sort out!"

"We loved that the location was in the middle of nowhere yet also close enough to the Grand Canyon. There was an issue with the shower door, the toilet, the microwave door handle and the bathroom sink clogging, but they sent maintenance the next day who fixed some of the issues. There were flies and bugs inside the home, but they didnโ€™t really bother us. You get a spectacular view of the Milky Way galaxy right outside the home. I would stay here again."
