Homey, heart felt, and reliable. Haulapai Lodge welcomes all. This is a lodge I recommend for those who plan on venturing in this area such as Havasupai Falls, visiting the Grand Canyon, etc. It's a nice place to recover after a long car ride and rest up before your big camping adventure and vice versa. When booking be sure to request the side away from the train. We were destined for the side with trains, but to our surprise we lucked out with the side with no trains. Bring your own hair conditioner, face wash, shampoo, and body soap... this is their weak spot, sure they provide some soaps and shampoo but there's no conditioner zip zero nada. Also this area gets pretty cold, like you'll need a wool coat cold... but the lodge has a nice warm temperature at night.
Free and strong wifi available at the hotel sans password. There is no service in this area for a good 50 mile radius at least, once you start your navigation do not quit the app otherwise you are doomed to a compass and paper map. Apple maps said Hualapai Lodge will be on one side of the road but it was off by a quarter mile and located on the opposite side, not too off but note that it was off so don't panic. The name is written on the side of the building and it's visible in the day, however it is not well lit at night.
Dine in at their restaurant if you're hungry, it's the only restaurant in and around Peach Springs. The Ranch Salad which is basically an iceberg / spring mix salad with some diced onions, blue cheese, shredded carrots and medium rare steak with your choice of dressing was decently fresh, healthy and delicious for $12. The pizza was very pleasant and fresh, we built our own pepperoni and black olives. It is really big whether you get a medium or large...let's just say we were both starving and still couldn't finish it all medium or large, I'd say the large is good for three or four people. Try the habanero hot sauce, it's yummy! The servers here are wonderful and friendly, it's more than a restaurant it's a community effort to welcome visitors.
Breakfast is included, for $5 you can upgrade to a hot breakfast which includes eggs, sausages, bacon, the works. We stuck with the basic breakfast because there was plenty of staple foods: high quality cottage cheese, a few varieties of yogurts, cereal, hot oatmeal, milk, orange juice, coffee, tea, bananas, apples, melons, whole wheat bread, white bread, jam, butter, hard boiled eggs, pastries, granola, granola bars...
Overall this place is definitely not a four seasons, but it does have a contemporary touch and quality service. This is the choice lodge to stay at. Happy trails.
