The rooms are typical of a low end hotel. The location and relative closeness to the Canyon Rim is what gives it value. The dining hall in the lodge is nice.

A briilliant way to visit the South Rim. Checking was easy and they allowed us in our lodge early. We had a great time.
Close to everything. Comfortable, clean. The staff was very friendly. Over all it was a nice place to stay. I would recommend it.
The facilities are not only dated (we expected that), but the staff simply isn't trying. I found food under the bed...years of dust bunnies in the corners. The rooms are dark and lack sufficient lighting.
I went to the Grand Canyon to take pictures, and nothing beats staying within walking distance (even for an old man like me) of the chasm. We stayed in one of the lodge complexes and even had an elk grazing next to our window. If I go back this is the place I'd stay in again.
Pros (+) Quiet, in the park super close to the general store, restaurant, and the South Rim. Clean and comfortable. Perfect for what we were looking for in the park.
Cons (-) Whenever neighboring rooms let their doors slam it literally rattled all the doors making it sound like someone was knocking on our door.
Pros (+) We loved this bare essentials stay. Grocery store on site, tiny fridge, perfect location.
Pros (+) Location was excellent. Was great to be right in the national park.
Cons (-) Beds were not very comfortable. We were in the rooms that had not yet been renovated.
Pros (+) Inside the park.
Cons (-) other people entered our room in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. This was quite disconcerting and unacceptable. Apparently DNC had double booked the room. They have tried to make up for it, but it should have never happened.
Pros (+) Great location.
Cons (-) Room wasn't ready until several hours AFTER listed check-in time because management had not staffed the cleaning crew properly. Management offered NOTHING to compensate. Food is awful and expensive ($15 for buffet that only featured powdered eggs) We wouldn't stay here again until new ownership/management.
