"We stayed at the Yavapai Lodge, located inside Grand Canyon National Park and conveniently close to the Market Plaza, where the general store and supermarket are located. The rooms are situated in separate buildings away from the main reception area, but the walking distance is short and easy to manage.
The reception offers a self-check-in option, which was extremely convenient upon arrival, and the easy check-out process made our departure smooth as well. Our room was impeccably clean, the shower was excellent, and overall the accommodations were very comfortable. The location is another major advantage—because we were already inside the park, we didn’t have to travel far to reach the viewpoints.
We chose to leave our car in the parking area near Mather Point (correct spelling), and since we were staying inside the park, we arrived early and found plenty of available parking spaces.
The lodge features a good on-site restaurant (Yavapai Dining Hall) as well as a tavern offering drinks and quick bites (Yavapai Tavern), which added to the convenience of the stay.
I visited with my family and highly recommend the Yavapai Lodge. Its combination of comfort, cleanliness, practical amenities, and excellent location makes it an ideal option for anyone looking to enjoy the Grand Canyon with ease."
