Need better parking
The only downfall was the parking is horrible. Anyone can park outside of the hotel and so it was very very hard to find a parking spot. They need to have designated parking for people who stay at the lodge.
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!

Can’t beat having the canyon outside your hotel room! Rooms are very dated but do the job.
