About 6 miles from the canyon, this clean, family-run lodge has a two-story motel building and a newer, three-story hotel building, both good values. The motel portion of the lodge, with smaller but comfortable rooms, has showers only; all rooms have cable TV and refrigerators. An outdoor pool and hot tub are open seasonally, and a Mexican restaurant next door offers discounts for Red Feather Lodge guests.
About 2 miles from the park's south entrance, this motel lacks the historic charm of the lodges at the canyon rim but has more amenities, including pools, a bowling alley, a gym, a small cowboy museum, and one of the better restaurants in the region. Updated rooms with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and refrigerators are spacious and furnished in Southwestern style. Those in the rear have a view of the woods. A casual restaurant and a sports bar and grill round out the dining options.
At the south end of Tusayan, this popular hotel has bright, clean, and contemporary rooms, a cozy stone-and-timber lobby, and free Wi-Fi. Live cowboy singers lead the entertainment in the Canyon Star Steakhouse and Saloon every evening. At the bar, you can sit on a saddle that was once used for canyon mule trips.
