We recently stay at the Lodge, from Sept 18 -20, 2009. Cabin was excellent, all food we ate was beyond compare. Entire staff was "the most amiable and pleasant staff to be encountered in many years and trips.
That said, the entire area is something you MUST SEE. Sunrise and Sunset are not to be missed!!!!!!!!

Everything I want in a visit to one of our beloved NPs.

Liked: the view, the weather, the people, the restaurant, the lodge
Didn't like: nothing
The room was primitive and I sure didn't like the noise from the adjoining room but take it in the spirit of the location. You'll appreciate the Hilton Inn and also the experiences of earlier travelers. As for the limited food, people are right. ...

it has no restrooms you have to go outside in the mddle of the night and i was bit by a rattle snake.

We stayed at the Lodge in October and we so impressed with the beautiful scenery and how charming the ambiance of the Lodge was. Our cabin was just what we had hoped for, a clean, rustic, private place to retreat after each day of hiking. The restaurant was awesome, we had a nice dinner over looking the canyon at sunset.

I read reviews before we arrived and knew the choices for food/restaurants were VERY LIMITED .....we instead brought pre-cooked meals that we heated up and brought ...

It's a rustic national park people, not the Ritz! Words like magical from some of the more favorable reviews are right on the mark. If we had listened to some of you, we would have missed out on one of the most awesome experiences of our vacationing lifetime. I've stayed in many national parks. One thing you can count on is that they're ...

Two couples for our 25th and 30th anniverseries had adjoining Frontier cabins. Be careful on this, log walls are not soundproof and I got blamed for the other guys snoring!
The scenery is not to be missed and the hiking is great even in July since the temps on the north rim were around mid-70's and nights cooled to the 50's. (no AC in ...
