Great location at the entrance to the canyon rim roads, quiet & relaxed. Motel style - good sized rooms with an on site cafeteria at reasonable prices. An ideal base for exploring all the lookouts either side of the canyon - Sliding House & Spider Rock particularly recommended.
Great place.

We have stayed at Thunderbird Lodge before. It is a great, relaxing place to stop on a road trip through northern AZ. Checking in was easy, room was clean and comfortable, and the place was quiet and peaceful at night. Great coffee and breakfast burritos in the morning! Desk and cafeteria staff were super nice and helpful. Our dogs really enjoy staying at Thunderbird as well. I’m sure we will all be back next year.

Lovely place, lovely staff, such a great serene atmosphere! Food at the cafeteria is excellent, and you can’t possibly miss their canyon tour. You will spend hours exploring the bottom of a canyon, it’s history, archeology and nature. It’s like being in a parallel universe, an incredible experience. Highly recommended!!
No frills room but nice quiet location

The room was your basic US hotel room. What was nice about this place is that it’s out of the way and peaceful and quiet. The coffee brewed in reception each morning was strong and delicious. We didn’t eat in the cafeteria on location - the food looked decent enough it just had a school canteen vibe. The gift shop by reception was particularly good.
Historic and Cozy

Cozy and real wood furniture in the rooms. Clean. Sweet welcoming card with cedar. Nice to have store, gift shot/tradng post, as well restaurant on site. Historic, stone buildings. Easy check in and check out. Close to Canyon de Chelly and Spider Rock.
