Overview
Grand Canyon Motel is a 2-star roadside property in Fredonia, Arizona, located at 175 S Main St. It sits at the junction of Route 89A and Highway 389, positioning it as a practical base for driving itineraries in the region. The property is known for rustic, old-fashioned cabin-style lodging rather than a modern hotel format.
Cabins & In-Room Features
Accommodations are described as rustic cabins with free WiFi and cable TV, plus in-room minifridges and microwaves. Some units add galley kitchens with stoves, which can be useful for longer stays or travelers who want to self-cater. Reviews suggest the cabins are older with character, with some guests noting updates and comfortable beds and bathrooms.
Courtyard & Outdoor Space
An expansive courtyard provides BBQ grills along with patio tables and chairs, creating a casual outdoor area for meals and downtime. This setup fits road-trippers looking for simple, communal outdoor space rather than full-service facilities.
Location & Nearby Places
The motel is 7.5 miles from Coral Cliff Golf Course and about 18.1 miles from the Kaibab Indian Reservation. In the wider area, points of interest include Red Pueblo Museum and Heritage Park (about 1.9 km away) plus attractions around Kanab such as Kanab Visitor Center, Kanab Museum, and the Kanab Heritage House Museum (roughly 10–11 km away). Outdoor destinations further out include Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Moqui Cave, Sand Caves, and nearby trails and dinosaur track sites including Bunting Trail Dinosaur Tracks and Kanab Dinosaur Tracks.
Best for
This motel best suits budget-minded road-trippers and travelers who want a simple cabin base near the Route 89A/Highway 389 junction. It also works well for guests who value self-catering basics like a minifridge/microwave (and, in some units, a galley kitchen with a stove) and who plan to spend days exploring nearby parks, museums, trails, and sand-dune areas.
Travel tips
If you’re using the property as a hub for day trips, plan on driving to most attractions—many nearby points of interest are 10–20 km away, including Kanab-area museums and the Coral Pink Sand Dunes/Moqui Cave area. Consider requesting a cabin with a galley kitchen if you want to cook, since only some units include a stove. Given the property’s roadside, cabin-style setup, expectations fit best with a practical, no-frills stay rather than a resort experience.
