Kachina Lodge is one of the four available lodging options directly on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The other three are Bright Angel Lodge, Thunderbird Lodge, and El Tovar. El Tovar is by far the most upscale of the choices. If you are going strictly for the beauty of the canyon and just need a convenient, comfortable place to sleep, the three cheaper alternatives will suit you just fine. Maswik Lodge and Yavapai Lodge are also within the park, but not directly on the rim (about a quarter mile away). Kachina was very comfortable, offering two queen beds, a mini refrigerator, and fairly good-sized bathroom. The building itself reminds you of a college dormitory, but the location cannot be beat. There are no food options at Kachina. There is dining service available at El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodge, which are within walking distance. Maswik and Yavapai Lodges also offer cafeteria-style dining, and are reachable by the convenient shuttle buses in the park.
