I have been to the Grand Canyon three times now, and each time I stayed at a different lodge inside the park. My previous two accommodations were near the south room, where is this one is a good 15 minute shuttle ride from that part of the park. This gave the location a really woodsy and peaceful vibe. I loved that the main lodge building had a restaurant, at which I ate twice, and that I could also walk to the supermarket inside the park from the hotel. All in all a very good experience.
