About

The Grand Canyon Motel brings you back to the golden age of American road trips. These rustic cabins sit on a tree-lined property with a central courtyard where you can fire up the BBQ grills after a day exploring the North Rim. Some cabins come with full kitchens, perfect for families who want to cook their own meals.

The charm here is authentic vintage roadside Americana. You're not getting corporate polish or modern amenities, but you are getting character and stories. The beds are comfortable, the showers run hot, and the price won't break your budget. It's the kind of place where the owner will wait past check-in hours to make sure you have a room for the night.

Fredonia sits about 45 minutes from the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, making this a solid base camp for exploring the less-crowded side of the canyon. The town itself is tiny but historic, and you'll have bragging rights about staying somewhere most people have never heard of. It's also roughly two hours from Zion's main entrance, so you can hit both parks from here if you're doing a multi-park road trip through southern Utah and northern Arizona.

We rented a couple of rooms here and they were the most disgusting rooms I have ever seen. More importantly they were unsafe. In a 2 bedroom unit all of the windows were either screwed or painted shut. And the odor in the rooms was intense. They would not offer a refund. The owners are overseas and do not reply according to the gentleman at the front desk. Do not stay here!

Fredonia is a fun place to say you stayed. Furniture and doors are outdated but you go for the charm of the place. If you like the old stops on the side of the highway places and not corporate ran chain this is a great place.

It’s an old small town motel. Not for the spoiled and entitled. So, considering what it is and for the price, it was great. The location was right off the highway, great parking, and a beautiful yard and lots of area to walk your pets. The motel has 12 different rooms split into 6 units. They are over a hundred years old but pretty well maintained. There were a few small things that needed attention but nothing to deserve 4 stars. Our room, number 12, even had a small kitchenette. The has wall heater worked really well and so did the hot water heater. The room had a microwave, fridge, hairdryer, wifi, a comfy bed, an extra blanket, and a single serve coffee pot with good coffee and was clean. Also, no bugs. It covered the basics well! I actually loved how different and unique the place was compared to more modern places. The folks there very nice. If we come back through, we will definitely stay again.

Let's break this down clean and simple. The rooms are falling apart with no maintenance. About which the owner told me that I shouldn't expect rooms with working doors because we're near the Grand Canyon. Which now brings me to the Location... which is not near any access to the Grand Canyon worth talking about. And the Service... forget it. This guy has no interest in providing quality customer service or help in any way. He wants a quick buck while he sits back and does nothing. In my case, we booked with booking.com and he decided on his own to add a fee to my booking. Please don't waste your time. It might look like an inexpensive stay, but you don't want to get stuck paying more for a horrible experience... trust me.

It was dusty, not clean, mold in the shower. A shower without light and a black curtain. Water was really cold or boiling! Bed was comfy, and the pillow was nice for my back. The room itself was cranky and need a upgrade!🫣
