Fodor's Expert Review Maswik Lodge

Far from the noisy crowds, Maswik accommodations are in two-story, contemporary motel-style buildings nestled in a shady ponderosa pine forest. The lodge, named for a Hopi kachina who is said to guard the canyon, is ¼ mile from the rim. Maswik rooms are larger than most on the South Rim and have brighter, newer furnishings, air-conditioning, and plenty of extras like refrigerators, coffeemakers, and safes. Families appreciate the lodge's food court and pizza pub, a casual spot with a big-screen TV.
