Reviews

Our stay at the Thunderbird Lodge, located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon within Grand Canyon National Park was a very nice experience. Our room overlooked the canyon. Prices seemed very reasonable, for the room as well as the meals in the Lodge restaurants. Our room cardkeys had various hints about protecting the natural resources of the Grand Canyon. Recycling bins are provided in the rooms and they encourage you to recycle even the wrappers (which are made from recycled paper) from the soap and other products in the room. Towels and sheets are not laundered each day unless requested.

The Lodge was designed to blend in with the environment of the canyon, so those viewing the rim from the North side would barely notice it. While walking in front of the Lodge on one evening, we even encountered an elk not more than 10 feet in front of us. I understand that is a common occurrence. When we walked out of the Lodge, we were only a few minutes walk from the famous Bright Angel Trail which you can follow all the way down into the Grand Canyon if you choose.

Review this hotel

This website is for you and your fellow green travelers. You can make it more useful by sharing your travel experiences at the different environmentally friendly hotels or eco-lodges you stay in. The more comments and reviews we have on the hotels in the database, the more you and other environmentally conscious travelers have to go on for making decisions.

When you review a hotel, the information we are looking for is what your experience was; how you felt about what you saw and did in regards to the hotel. Did you notice any environmentally sensitive steps taken that aren't covered by either the attributes list or the hotel's website? For example, were the shower curtains fabric rather than plastic, the wastebasket unlined, or did the room smell fresh without having been perfumed? Does the housekeeping staff honor the towel/sheet program? Are Styrofoam products offered at any food establishments connected to the environmentally friendly hotel? We want the good and the bad so other green travelers can make informed decisions.

There are lots of little things that go into making a great experience, and lots of little things that go into making a great green experience. That's what we are looking for in the reviews we receive. All comments and submissions become the property of HealthyStays.com, LLC and may be published.
