Stayed at Matswick for one night this past weekend. The experience was pleasant, room was spacious and tidy as was the bathroom (I liked separate vanity area). There was a small fridge in the room which is helpful for longer stays. The room did have a slightly stale smell but other than that was fine. Our room had AC (which seems to be was causes the difference in price from $86 for some rooms and $162 for ours). One minute walk to the shuttle and reception/cafeteria/sports bar center. Catalina at the front desk was sweet and helpful and answered all of our questions. Cafateria food was OK, Sports bar has pool tables and decent selection of spirits but I couldn't finish my drink because I saw a small mouse run from behind a video game machine to the bar. Not a huge deal, it is the Grand Canyon, but I thought it worth mentioning.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in December 07. We wanted a place that would serve as a base for a few days exploration of the GC. The Maswik certainly succeeded in this.

On arrival, the reception staff were very friendly and directed us to our room. The Room was of a good standard albeit a bit tired (not one of the newer rooms), however this wasn't a major issue. The room didn't have A/C but as it was pretty cold outside, as long as the heaters worked that was all that mattered! A short 5 minute walk and you are at the Rim, fantastic.

The food was ok, but wasn't great. Good to pick up a quick snack though. There are however enough alternatives around the rim to suit all needs. I would definately recommend the El Tovar for a fantastic dining experience!

We did have a few dodgy lightbulbs but after a call to reception these were fixed straight away. All in all the Maswik served our needs for a quiet, clean base for our stay. I would definately recommend it however don't expect 5 star luxury, but hey who cares, your at the Grand Canyon!!

We stayed at the Maswik Lodge for 3 days in mid-June last summer. Our rooms had AC, fans, good size bathroom, 2 beds and a cot. If it were not for the AC, we would have been very uncomfortable in the evening before going to bed. We walked to the rim, the shuttles were very convenient, yet it was in a quiet location. The only thing I didn't like was that are no accomodations where you can do your own cooking. The cafeterias are so expensive, and the food is always mediocre. We took breakfast foods and packed lunches, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford our vacation! After seeing some of the other accomodations, I was very pleased with our location. Even if I had the opportunity, I don't think I would stay anywhere else. We liked being close to the rim, yet out of the main flow of traffic.

We booked this hotel due to excellent location. We arrived at midnight after a long drive [by U.K. standards] from Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the Grand Canyon flight we had booked for mid afternoon next day had been changed to 6am - therefore, our timing was all out.
We were checked in and directed to our room, which was easy enough to find. The room was basic, but adequate and clean with toiletries provided and the added bonus of a fridge, even though it was small and on the floor, it was greatly appreciated.
We did know when we booked that the room had no air conditioning, but thought that the advantage of the location would outweigh this disadvantage. However, in reality, it was just too hot to sleep - despite our exhaustion we hardly slept a wink. This added to the early flight spoilt our day somewhat.
We decided to book another hotel just outside the park instead of staying a second night at Maswik Lodge. We returned to the park to see the sun set, before collecting our belongings from the room. Upon our check out, the receptionist asked why we were leaving early and immediately refunded our second nights stay. I not only didn't ask for this, but I genuinely didn't expect it. That is really why I felt I must record this in a review.
We didn't use any facilities other than our room, so I can't comment on them. However, we felt that we certainly got what we paid for - the room was really inexpensive and the only problem was that we had underestimated the real need for air conditioning in the summer in the U.S.
