This is truly a unique place to stay and enjoy the beauty of the Grand Canyon. The Bright Angel lodge next door offers dining options both late and early. We loved all the small touches like specialized tile in the shower featuring Grand Canyon wildlife.

Great

The property is managed by hotel management property and check in is at the Angel hotel next-door. State was great, rooms updated, the entire property very clean. It is literally right on the cliff of the Grand Canyon. Only she was parking, but everyone has parking problems within the park.

Not handicapped friendly

Surprised how outdated the thunderbird was, considering the price per night & according to notice on the door they command 500/night at some point. Absolutely not handicap or senior friendly. No elevators, numerous stair cases & most require a keycard to pass thru. No drop off parking so you can unload luggage. No microwave & frig did not have freezer section to refreeze ice packs. Expected more considering the room cost

We loved our stay at The Thunderbird Lodge. Would have been just a little bit nicer to have a common area in which to gather to chat, play cards. We would definitely go back!
