Very good, but a bit dated building right on the canyon rim. Parking is a luck of the draw, lots of stairs in the building, so arrival and departure is a bit difficult as we had to carry our luggages a few flight of stairs to where we parked.

No attention to detail

There was no attention to detail, the plate in the shower was screwed in upside down, single ply toilet paper, brown stains on the bath towels, and the mattresses cost a similar amount to the nights stay (I sold mattresses for a long time, I am sure). The towels were kept outside overnight, that may be where the stain came from. I wasnt expecting much, but it wasn't as nice as a Loves truck stop bathroom. The skillet for breakfast didn't come with eggs. Bruh. It was good once I ordered eggs. Attention to detail

Thunderbird Lodge is well situated on Grand Canyon South Rim. But I had a hard time to find its place to check in. Because it doesn’t have any lobby for check in. Instead the check in is at Bright Angel Lodge. I was told there was a sign. Unfortunately I didn’t see any notice on the building entrances in the dark night until I was informed by a passerby.

Location is Incredible. The lodge is a minute walk from the edge of the canyon. Check-in is the lodge next door. I don't think they have an elevator. We were on the first floor. I don't know if the TV worked as we spent our time hiking. There is a free shuttle system that is a 2 minute walk from the door. The parking situation is first come, first serve and you might have a bit of a hike as parking is free and not registered. There is a small fridge in the room. The shower head is shorter than I'm accustomed to and the furnishings are sufficient, but definitely on the basic side.

The room is so dirty and dusty. They have tea bags in the room, but no hot water kettle or microwave to heat up water. The front desk staff asked us to use the coffee machine to make hot water for tea. The coffee machine was so dirty as well. Basically we have paid $400 for a small dirty room with no amenities. It’s really more like a hostel, not a hotel.

Check In Madness

Check in was ridiculous. Everything else was fine. A message before checkin to let us know not to circle the property and go next door would have saved me an hour and lots of exercise lugging my luggage around.
