I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The location was stunning, offering spectacular views of the canyon, which definitely made the trip worthwhile. However, the rooms felt outdated and could use some serious refurbishing. The parking situation was tough and check-in was a bit of a hassle. Overall, while the place has its charm, it might not be the ideal choice for everyone.

My stay at Thunderbird Lodge was a mixed bag. The breathtaking view of the Grand Canyon right from the lodge was absolutely stunning and made for an unforgettable experience. However, the check-in process, parking situation, and the condition of the room left much to be desired. The beautiful scenery is a major plus, but the overall comfort and amenities could use improvement.

Staying here was a memorable experience with the canyon just steps away, making it perfect for breathtaking views and easy hikes. The room was clean but on the smaller side, and the parking situation can be tricky. Additionally, the dining choices were somewhat limited, but the proximity to the rim was unbeatable.

Our stay at Thunderbird Lodge was quite enjoyable overall, with comfortable rooms and gorgeous canyon views. While the Wi-Fi was unreliable and parking could be tricky, the location right on the Rim made it worthwhile. The property isn’t luxurious, but it offers good value for what you get, especially if you're looking to be close to nature and the Grand Canyon.

I had a good stay overall, especially because I secured a room on the rim of the canyon, which made it easy to catch stunning sunrises and sunsets. While the room was quite comfortable and clean, the hotel itself has an old dorm-like appearance that may not appeal to everyone. Unfortunately, I faced some issues with heating and Wi-Fi, which detracted from my experience. However, the convenient shuttle access and nearby dining options were definite highlights.
