History
The lodge began in 1927 as a Fred Harvey hotel for drivers of their own automobiles (as opposed to most of the travelers who arrived on rail or stage coaches).[2] In the 1940s, 20 new buildings were added along with moving 22 buildings from Bright Angel Lodge.[2] Most of the original buildings were removed in 1971 and replaced with a more modern motel structure.[2] In 2018, the park considered demolishing all of the existing buildings.[2]
Fodor's review of the lodge noted pros: "well-equipped northern unites, good for families, and affordable dining." Fodor's review noted cons of: "rooms lack historic charm, tucked away from the rim in the forest, and south units don't have air conditioning."
