    Havasupai Lodge highly exceeded my expectations -- just a lovely place to immerse yourself in the beauty of Havasu Canyon! I've visited twice, and the lodge is now wonderfully renovated to meet an amazing amount of hiker needs despite this being one of the most remote communities in the contiguous US. Yes, certain elements are basic (bring your own clock, Kleenex, and hangers if you need them), but overall, I was shocked at the amenities supplied. Our room included an excellent wall AC, a comfy memory-foam mattresses, a sturdy dining table with two chairs, plenty of fresh towels, ample amounts of soap/lotion, and an overall fresh, stylish design (clean bathroom, big vanity, mini fridge, etc.). We arrived early and had an easy check-in, and the lobby offered a few treats in the morning, including muffins. There's a smart layout to the whole place, including a courtyard with a grill and two decks (perfect for stargazing), and the store and café are within easy walking distance. Visiting requires securing reservations through the Havasupai Tribe's official website and hiking about eight miles from the Hualapai Hilltop trailhead. Once you reach the lodge, it's only another few miles to 50 Foot, Little Navajo, Havasu, Mooney, and Beaver Falls -- all exquisite in their natural beauty. The land of the blue-green waters is exceptional in every way, and staying at the lodge makes the visit even more comfortable and inviting! (Did not take pictures of the grounds, as photos aren't allowed in the village, out of respect for residents.)

    Being that the lodge is one out of two options (the other being camping) to stay in the Supai Village, I don't understand the poor ratings. You get everything you need - great air conditioning, decent WiFi, clean beds and towels, complimentary shampoo and conditioner and they even clean your room while you're away. You have to keep in mind where you are, at an Indian reservation inside the Grand Canyon! A stay per night is about $145 plus permit/entrance fees. It's not cheap but for me, it's definitely worth it to have a comfortable bed and a shower at the end of a long day of hiking. Reservations to stay here are not easy to get either! They book up FAST and it's very hard to get through. I called over a span of 2 days. The lodge is close by to the Village's only cafe and store and you get to be in the village yourself interacting with the Havasupai people. Most of them are really friendly if you give them a chance to talk to you. It was a very humbling experience to see how they live and we were very grateful they let tourists into their home. The hike to the campground and Havasu falls from the lodge is ~4 miles round trip, Mooney falls ~6 miles round trip and Beaver falls ~10 miles round trip. The hike to the hilltop from the lodge is ~8 miles. There is a key drop off by the door of the lobby which makes it very convenient to leave any time. We left at 330am to begin our trek out of the village to the hilltop. I would definitely come and stay here again!

    It's not the Sheraton but if you are looking for air conditioning, a bed and a shower (cold) then this is the place, the only place btw. It works for a day or two. You know when you made calls to the lodge trying to get a reservation and the phone rang and rang and rang and rang and rang well, walk into the lobby of the lodge and you will meet the ever charming lady who never picks up the phone. She could care less you are there or about helping you. You can ask her a question and she may not even answer you if she doesn't feel like it, major attitude. It's really unfortunate too because this place could be so much more and make me want to return. A few tweaks and this place could be a gold mine but the "don't care" attitude is alive and well in this village which is unfortunate.

    The hike down starts here.

    This lodge was great for being out in the middle of no where with no access to a road. It is unbelievably hard to get a hold of them, but definitely worth the persitance. We had talked about hiking to Havasu in late 2016, but didn't confirm the dates with our group until January. I called almost everyday from February to April and finally booked one night in late April. You can only cancel two weeks before your trip to get a full refund. I tried both the numbers on their website in between 9:30 am and 11 am. Then again 1 pm to 2 pm. Some times up to 3:30 on if I was off that day. It's usually busy or rings forever, but don't give up. Their is only one receptionist that handles the phones and check-ins and check-outs so be patient. I almost couldn't believe there wad one night avaible when i made the reservation. She asked for my name, address, phone number, credit card and the number of people. The fee to get into Havasu was included with the room. About 2 weeks later i saw charge on my credit for the deposit and a little after that i received a letter with a map and the confirmation. The lodge offered oatmeal and some prepackaged breakfast items, t-shirts and postcards. We got a downstairs room with two queen beds. The rooms include a couch, desk, dresser and clean towel. Plenty of outlets to charge electronics. Make sure you have the confirmation letter when you check in and be there right at 1 pm. You will not be able to check in any earlier. I would definitely stay there again. Nothing beats not having to carry a tent, sleeping mat and sleeping bag the whole hike there. Taking a shower and having a toilet that flushes was also a plus

    Don't expect friendly service or a clean property. Do expect a nice bed, a hot shower and a rest before the trek back up the mountain. I would suggest hiking to the campsite and staying the last night at the lodge. Calling the lodge might seem impossible but keep trying. Weekdays are definitely more available then weekends. Your reservation also includes the entrance fee so you can bypass the tourist board of Supai. They can also arrange for a mule or horse for your belongings.

There's cabins and bunk houses that require a lottery 15 months in advance, which adds to the exclusivity of the experience. Steak dinner is offered by reservations only for $70pp U.S. From 8am- 8pm, there's a cantina open selling all the things you'd want while backpacking, including cold lemonade, beer, wine, snacks, and first aid items. This week, the canyon was bursting with color from all the flowers and vegetation growing after the heavy snow season. This was truly a special experience! The trail to Ribbon Falls/North Rim was closed at one of the bridges and the creek running too high to attempt a safe crossing, so we enjoyed a rest day and cooled off on the banks of the stunning Colorado River. We took pictures of the current ranch as big changes are underway with a new water system getting installed, which will impact access to the ranch for a while. Special mention to the staff, particularly Zach, who went above and beyond to show us hospitality. Also, best of luck to new hire Tyler as he settles into his new role at the ranch! The ranch is currently short-handed, and some of the staff are really feeling the stress, which is starting to show in their interactions with guests. Remember to be patient and kind. The bottom of the Grand Canyon can't be an easy place to live and work.

This particular location was no exception. I am happy with my stay here and would recommend the hotel for anyone visiting the Grand Canyon. It's also really conveniently located, just 10-15 minutes outside of the park, but far enough away to give some flexibility with food and hotel options. Internet was alright, pretty "meh" quality, but it worked. This particular location was honestly super spacious. We ended up in the adults only wing, and our room was huge. We had a separate seating area with a TV, desk and couch that could pull out to become a bed. There was also a small little kitchen nook with a microwave, fridge, sink and coffeemaker. I don't have children so the extra space doesn't really matter much to me, however, if I did this would have been a really nice place to stay. Breakfast: Breakfast was the standard holiday inn express fare. It had pancakes, eggs, pastries, cereals, some fruits, yogurt, and either bacon or sausage.

Since our visit was during the off season, they unfortunately only had four types of cookies to choose from - apparently during the summer they have 16 different varieties! While we didn't have that amazing selection, the employee did tell us that they cookies in the tray were less than an hour from the oven! We ended up trying one of each (4 for $8.46): Chocolate Chip Cookie - This cookie has a golden brown ring around the edge and the bottom. It has a delicate crunch along the more well baked portions, but the interior remains soft and gooey. Especially the semisweet chocolate chips, which at only an hour after removal from heat, are still melty. The center of the cookie tastes under baked like raw flour with a somewhat granular and sandy texture. Chocolate Parfait - This is a tall cookie that doesn't seem to spread. It looks more like a small scone or biscuit to be honest. It's quite wan in color, so there's no particular baked crust. Instead, the entire thing is soft and tender, but it's not under baked like the chocolate chip cookie since it all tastes baked through. It's absolutely stuffed with large pieces of Belgian milk chocolate, and like the other cookie, the chocolate is still melted and gooey. Oatmeal Raisin - This cookie has the hardest bake with a darker golden brown bottom creating a great crunch. It's otherwise filled with oats and studded with plenty of sweet raisins. Snickerdoodle - This cookie is surprisingly yellow in color. It has the same chewy and tender texture throughout and tastes like a sugar cookie with cinnamon. I do have to say that all the cookies were super sweet. So sweet I had to drink an entire bottle of water afterwards. I drank more water after the cookies than a 5 miles hike the previous day. Way too sweet for my tastes, but I'm sure most people will be okay with that! Bathrooms - Two larger ones with multiple stalls

If you're booking here to get the best latte at the cafe, or to have the best Chardonnay of your life, or the strongest WiFi you've had, do yourself a favor, drive to the south rim, get a helicopter tour, leave the same day, get a 5 star hotel in Phoenix. Otherwise, look around, enjoy the VIEW. Inhale. Exhale. Relax. Give the staff a break. They're doing their best. Season staff are hard to get in a remote location like this. I will say. After hiking in this year, the pepperoni sausage pizza at the cafe was the best I've had in my life. Maybe partially due from the condition we were in from hiking. But it was GOOD.
