Thunderbird Lodge is a great place to stay in Grand Canyon Village. It sits between Bright Angel Lodge and the El Tovar Hotel so you're close to the restaurants at both places but have the peace of a place that doesn't have other guests walking through. Our room was cozy and had everything we needed and parking was easy when we visited in January. This place gets a thumbs up from us!

Great location. Parking isn’t ideal but worth the hassle since it is within steps from the canyon rim. Everything you need amenity wise is close by either in the lodge or next door
