Family trip
The room was neat and clean, we didn't find much difficulty except for parking space. But I understand it would be difficult in a national park. I was luck that my room was in the first floor and I didn't need to carry my big suitcase in stairs. The room was large enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. We enjoyed the scenery around the area.

Customer service great! Rooms dated!
First of all I would like to say that check in at the lodge was great. Jeremiah helped us during check in and provided information regarding the Grand Canyon bus line and dining facilities. As far as the room goes, it was not great . Towels were old and dingy looking . We had two queen beds . One had hair on the sheets and the other had stains on the sheets. I was not thrilled with the cleanliness of the room. It was also dated which bothered me less than the sheets and towels not being decent. I felt like I was in a dorm . I will say this, it was nice staying in Grand Canyon village . Very convenient and easy to get around. I would have given this place 3 stars only but because customer service was great at the front desk I gave it 4 stars. We were going for more of the experience than the rooms.

You can do much better!
The AC sounded like a freight train and did not cool properly and we couldn’t get a good night sleep . Opened the window to cool the room, within a few minutes, a mouse came through the screen and we spent all night looking for it. Room was not cleaned because the policy is to clean after checkout! Asked for fresh towels, they gave us 2 for a family of 4. The bathroom floor and toilet moved whenever the next door tenants used it. The only good thing about the place is the location. You still have to pay an entry fee to get to your cabin and spend a long time looking for a parking. For the money we paid, our expectations were much higher. Will not go back!

Nice place to stay at the incredible South Rim, though the hotel is a bit of the old style. Price is reasonable considering the stunning location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Historic lobby. Decent dining, though food was slightly expensive. I would return.

Dated
The Thurderbird Lodge is a dated hotel. It was a small room, a small bathroom, and had a very limited view of the canyon. They called it a partial view, and that is no joke. The first floor jutted out where our room was, and that hindered the view from our window probably more than other rooms. What made things worse is that our room was near the utility room for the entire hotel and it was very noisy the whole time! The toilet in our room ran and made noise, but the utility room sounds washed out the toilet noise. Luckily, we were pretty tired and were able to mostly ignore it. We stayed on the 2nd floor. Be warned that there is no elevator. I don't know why I thought there would be one, but I did. If I had known, I would have gotten a 1st floor room to avoid hauling all of our luggage upstairs. The thing this hotel has going for it is that it is in the middle of Grand Canyon Village and you are staying in the park. Beyond that, it is overpriced for what you get and needs updating badly.
